Official Rules: Season Prizes

Version 2. Effective October 10, 2026.

These rules cover the quarterly season prizes in the Algo Leagues PVP Arena. No purchase necessary to enter or win. Entry is free, and nothing you can buy enters you in a season. Season prizes are paid from the Algo Leagues treasury, not from anything players pay. Void where prohibited. Algo Leagues is for adults 18 and over.

1. Sponsor

The sponsor is Antity, LLC ("Sponsor", "we"). Algo Leagues is a community passion project, not run for profit. All revenue goes back into the project. Email us at algoleagues@gmail.com. We also read our Discord, but please use email for free entry requests, prize claims and disputes, so there is a record.

2. Who can win

• You must be 18 or older.
• Prizes are not available to people who live in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium or Australia. You can still play from those places; you cannot receive a season prize.
• Prizes are not available to anyone who lives in a country or region under comprehensive United States sanctions (the list is kept by the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control), or who is named on a US sanctions list.
• Void where prohibited by law, and wherever these rules would be against local law.
• Algo Leagues staff, and members of their households, are not eligible for prizes. A staff account that finishes in the top 3 has its place waived. For example, the 2nd place account for Q2 2026 was a staff account and that place was waived.
• One entry per person per season, using one Algorand wallet. Entering with more than one wallet means disqualification from that season.

3. How to enter (free)

You do not have to buy anything or own any NFT to enter and compete for prizes. There are two free ways to enter. Both give exactly the same entry.

A. On the website

1. Open the Arena page and connect your Algorand wallet. Signing in is free.
2. Confirm you are 18 or older and claim your free Season Entry. No payment and no holding check is needed.

B. By email

If you cannot use the website button, email algoleagues@gmail.com with the subject "Free Season Entry". Include your Algorand wallet address and say that you are 18 or older and accept these rules. We add a free Season Entry to that wallet by hand, in the order requests arrive, and reply when it is done. You can play ranked matches once the entry is added, so send it early in the season.

Once entered, play ranked matches. If you have no NFTs, use the free loaner deck of starter cards, which plays at base stats.

Season Pass sales are paused, so every entry this season is free. If a paid pass ever returns, it will not be needed to enter, will not add to any prize and will not change your prize eligibility.

4. Season dates

There is one season per calendar quarter. All times are UTC. A season starts at 00:00 UTC on the first day of the quarter and ends at 00:00 UTC on the first day of the next quarter.

5. How rank is decided

Rank is the season leaderboard on the Arena page. Players are ordered by wins, highest first. If wins are tied, the player with fewer losses ranks higher. If that is also tied, the player with the longer best win streak ranks higher.

Please know what affects results. The NFTs and VIP tokens you hold, and any boosts you use, raise your cards' stats in ranked matches. Boosts can be bought with ALC in the shop. The free loaner deck uses base stats with no boosts. Matches also include chance: some card abilities trigger with a percentage chance. Buying anything does not enter you in a season and is not required to win.

6. Prizes

The season prize is a fixed amount of ALC that we pay from the Algo Leagues treasury. We announce it on this page for each season. It is not funded by Season Pass sales or by any other payment. It is split between the top 3 eligible players on the final leaderboard:

• 1st Place: 50% of the announced prize
• 2nd Place: 30% of the announced prize
• 3rd Place: 20% of the announced prize

Q4 2026: badges only. There is no ALC prize this season; the top 3 receive the Legends badge and Discord role.

• Maximum value. The whole season prize, all three places together, is never worth more than US $250. We check this when we announce it. If the price of ALC rises so that the prize would be worth more than $250 on the day we pay, we pay ALC worth $250 in total at that day's price, split the same way. We use the public ALC price on Vestige (vestige.fi) on the payment day.
• Value can go down. The US dollar value of ALC moves with the market. We do not promise any minimum dollar value.
• Changes to the prize. We may announce or increase a season's prize during the season. We will not reduce or withdraw an announced prize, except under the maximum value rule above or section 10.
• Prizes are paid only in ALC, cannot be exchanged for cash from us and cannot be transferred to another person.
• The top 10 may also receive a Leaderboard Legends badge and Discord role. These have no cash value.

7. Claiming and payment

After a season ends we post the top 3 on our Discord. To claim a prize, email algoleagues@gmail.com within 60 days after the season ends. Include your wallet address and your country of residence, and confirm you are 18 or older. We may also ask you to show that you control the wallet, for example by sending a zero-amount transaction from it with a code we give you. Winners who live in Canada must also correctly answer a short math skill-testing question. We do not ask for your name or any ID document.

Prizes are sent by hand from the Algo Leagues treasury to the winning wallet. Your wallet must be opted in to ALC (ASA 445905873). Opting in needs a little ALGO in the wallet; if you do not have it, tell us when you claim and we will send you enough to opt in. Payouts are made by volunteers, not automatically. We aim to pay within 30 days after a winner is verified. If it will take longer, we will say so on our Discord.

If a winner does not claim within 60 days, cannot be verified, does not reply within 30 days of our request, or is not eligible, that place is waived. A waived prize is not paid to anyone else and is not added to another season.

8. Odds

Your chances of placing in the top 3 depend on how many people enter and how well everyone plays.

9. Taxes

Winners are responsible for any taxes on their prize where they live. We ask for tax information only if the law requires it for a prize of that size, and we tell you before paying if it does.

10. Disqualification, changes and cancellation

We may disqualify anyone who cheats, uses more than one wallet or account to enter, colludes with other players, abuses bugs, or breaks these rules. Leaderboard results come from our game server and are final once the season ends, except to correct a clear technical error.

We may update these rules. The version in effect when a season starts applies to that season, except that we may add ways to enter, add or increase prizes, or make changes the law requires at any time. This version applies from October 10, 2026, including to the rest of Q4 2026. No Q4 2026 Season Pass payments were collected, so no one who paid is affected by this change.

If the law, a technical problem or cheating stops us running a season fairly, we may pause or cancel it and will post a notice on our Discord. If we cancel a season that has an announced prize, we pay it to the top 3 eligible players on the leaderboard when we cancel, unless the law stops us.

To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for lost or late emails, wallet or network failures, or technical errors outside our control, and our total responsibility to any player under these rules is limited to the value of the prize that player won. Nothing in these rules takes away any right you have under the consumer law of the place where you live.

11. Disputes and governing law

If you disagree with a result or a decision, email algoleagues@gmail.com with your wallet address and what happened. We will try to resolve it with you informally. If it is not resolved within 60 days, either of us may take it to court. These rules are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA. Claims may be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York, or in a small claims court where you live if that court can hear it.

12. Privacy and publicity

The leaderboard and our winner posts show your wallet address or title plate. We do not publish your name or email. For a prize claim we keep your email, country and age confirmation as a record of the payment. How we handle your data is described in our Privacy Policy.
