Rules & Game Flow

1. The Game

Ace the Brackets is a single-alimination game that takes place over three 10-minute rounds, with an initial bracket submission phase.

Ace the Brackets comes in two versions. The Elite 8 is a single elimination game between 8 assets, with 3 rounds, while the Sweet 16 is a single elimination game between 16 assets, with 4 rounds.

2. How it Works

Starting tokens are randomly chosen from the top 150 CoinMarketCap cryptocurrencies list, excluding stablecoins.

Winners are determined by the best price-performance (measured by greatest percentage gain or least percentage loss) during each round, according to data provided by CoinMarketCap.

3. Entries

Each entry costs 5 USDC for Ace the Brackets Elite 8, and 2 USDC for Ace the Brackets Sweet 16. There is a 10% protocol fee.

4. Scoring and Prizes

Predict the winner of each matchup to earn 1 point for every correct pick. The entry with the most points wins the prize. Get all 7 matches right to claim the jackpot!

Each jackpot consists of 90% of the entry fees for the game, plus all previous jackpots since the last perfect score was achieved.

If no one scores 7 points, the highest score gets 10% of the amount entered in that game (discounted the protocol's service fee), and the remainder rolls over to the next game.

Multiple winners divide all prizes equally.
