8.1 General calculation
Competition PnL will be calculated by the Operator based only on Eligible Trades and Eligible Markets. Unless otherwise specified in Schedule A, Competition PnL will equal:
- —realized profit or loss from Eligible Trades closed or settled during the applicable measurement period; plus
- —the marked value of any open eligible positions at the applicable ranking cutoff; minus
- —the participant’s cost basis for those positions; minus
- —any trading fees or transaction costs expressly included by the Operator in Competition PnL.
Deposits, withdrawals, transfers, referral rewards, promotional rewards, rebates, airdrops, unrelated account activity, and the value of positions acquired outside the Competition do not increase Competition PnL.
A participant’s Competition PnL for a Stage is the sum of the profit or loss across that Stage’s fixtures, derived from the participant’s Eligible Trades as set out above. Competition PnL is shown on the leaderboard as “Points.”
8.2 Open positions
Open positions at a Stage or Competition cutoff will be valued using the price or valuation methodology recorded by the Operator’s systems at the cutoff. The Operator may use the prevailing executable market price; a reasonable midpoint or mark price; the official settlement value; a time-weighted or liquidity-adjusted value; or another consistently applied valuation methodology described in Schedule A. The same methodology will be applied consistently to similarly situated participants.
8.3 Settled, voided, and disputed markets
A settled market will be valued according to its final settlement.
If an Eligible Market is canceled, voided, malformed, disputed, reversed, incorrectly resolved, or unavailable, the Operator may exclude that market and its associated trades; apply the market’s official refund or void treatment; recalculate affected rankings; delay final results until resolved; or use another fair and consistently applied treatment. Official Tournament results may be used as a factual reference, but market settlement and Competition PnL are determined under the applicable market rules and the Operator’s published calculation methodology.
8.4 Negative PnL
Competition PnL may be negative. A participant who has a negative PnL may remain ranked unless the applicable prize category requires positive PnL.
8.5 Currency conversion and rounding
USD-equivalent values, currency conversions, token valuations, and rounding will be determined using the Operator’s systems and consistently applied methodology. Displayed figures may be rounded for presentation. Rankings will be determined using the underlying unrounded values.
8.6 Adjustments
The Operator may adjust Competition PnL to correct:
- —calculation errors;
- —duplicate or missing transactions;
- —reversed, failed, voided, or invalid trades;
- —incorrect market data;
- —wash or manipulative activity;
- —abuse, collusion, or self-dealing; or
- —other activity improperly included in or excluded from a participant’s results.
