Cups
Official and community cups: fill-or-refund, schedule, brackets, disputes, prizes.
- What are cups
Single-elim 8 / 16 / 32 fields with a published UTC schedule and a full-or-annul start.
- Official vs Community
Staff-created Official cups vs player-hosted Community cups. Hosts may play but cannot referee.
- Create a community cup
Name, game, 8/16/32, NGN entry, start time. Collateral and available-balance floor apply.
- Join a cup (fill or full refund by start)
Lock the buy-in. If the field is short at start, everyone is refunded. KYC is only required to withdraw.
- Schedule and your timezone
Every instant is stored in UTC. WAT is Africa/Lagos. Default public labels use Lagos time.
- Check-in and auto-forfeit
Default 10-minute check-in. No-shows forfeit; money stays in the pot after a legal start.
- How the bracket works
Power-of-two single elim plus optional bronze. Seeds lock at start. Host is a normal seed.
- Hosting a cup (play allowed, cannot referee)
Play as a normal seed. You cannot cancel after a join, or force your own results.
- Fees: 90% pot, 7% platform, 3% host commission
Community cups split entry fees 90 / 7 / 3. Official paid cups take 10% of full gross.
- Reporting a cup match (winner required, extra time)
Knockouts need one winner. Play extra time/penalties. Draw is hidden. Second submit allowed with proof.
- Cup disputes (two proofs, branch only, no rollback)
Only dual-proof conflicting winners pause the next feeder. Other branches stay on the published clock.
- Draws and rematches (lower seed last resort)
One rematch on the same slot if time remains. Then the lower seed number advances. Pot is not refunded.
- Annulled cups and refunds
Not full at start → ANNULLED, refund buy-ins and collateral, reverse sponsored escrow, no commission.
- Prizes, KYC, and withdrawals
Unverified players can receive available balance. Withdrawal still requires KYC.
- Featured Official cups
Staff-created, featured badge, HIGH dual-proof queue, optional sponsored 0 buy-in.
