Every match is a free-for-all in the Steinburg arena, played in your browser. There is nothing to download and nothing to install. Grand Arena requires Google Chrome on desktop.
Killing another player scores 1 point and taking down a money drone scores 25. The server reads both values from the tournament record and scores every kill itself.
Money drones fly into the arena carrying SOL. Shoot one down and that SOL goes to your wallet, on top of the 25 points, minus a 5% platform fee. They keep spawning all five days, and everyone else wants them too โ do not let them take one from you.
Places are ranked by points, then by total kills โ drone takedowns count too โ then by who reached that score first. Every place has one winner, so a prize is never split.
The top five places pay 3, 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.25 SOL, sent in full. When the five days are up we verify the results and send the SOL to the winners. A place pays only if that player scored.
