Rules of Engagement

Demo simulation · Chips are scoring units, not money · Skill-based strategy contest

Everyone starts with 10,000 chips.

The ONLY thing that matters: NET PROFIT.

Every round, the bottom 10% gets eliminated.

You CAN bust out (drop below 100 chips) at any time — that's the “all-in” risk.

During breaks: positions freeze, adjust your bot's strategy via the crew chief.

Final table: last survivors fight to the finish.

Winner takes the biggest slice of the prize pool.

You can't win the tournament in Round 1.

But you can definitely LOSE it.
