How the Pre-Season works

From Block 0 on, every fair rated win mines a block, and every block earns sats. Rewards are paid once, after the season review.

A rated win mines a block when

  • 1Both players are Trusted and have added each other as opponents
  • 2It is a real game: 20 moves or more in chess, a fully played series in the other games
  • 3The two sides are not from the same clan
  • 4One block per pairing a day
  • 5At most 5 blocks per player a day, per game
  • 7The two players do not both get 90 % or more of their trust from the same person
  • 8At most 3 blocks per pairing until the season ends
  • 9The game has not used up its share of the era

Draws mine nothing. Admins can tune these limits during the Pre-Season; a change only counts for blocks after it.

Casual games run before and after Block 0: casual Elo only, no rank, no reward.
