Tournaments are the spine of the Starry experience: fixed-stake events where every participant starts from the same baseline, then races to maximise percentage returns before the closing snapshot. They compress days or weeks of market action into a concentrated window of strategy, hype, and measurable performance.

Bracket	Ticket Cost	Max Seats	Prize-Pool Breakdown*	FUN Multiplier	Snapshot Duration
Rookie	1 ticket	100	60 / 25 / 10 / 5	1×	24 h
Pro	5 tickets	200	50 / 20 / 15 / 10 / 5	2×	48 h
Elite	10 tickets	500	40 / 20 / 15 / 10 / 10 / 5	3×	72 h

* Percentages represent post-rake allocation to top finishers (rake locked at 8.5%).

Key mechanics

• Entry window: Registration closes 30 minutes before the official start to prevent last-second ticket hoarding.

• Rake transparency: A 8.5% cut is skimmed at point of entry and immediately sent to the Starry Treasury.

• Rolling prize pool: As tickets sell, the SOL pot grows; a live meter shows the exact distribution figures per rank.

• In-tourney liquidity: You can trade at any time—solana-level block speeds mean your order fills in <1 s.

• Grace period: Five-minute buffer at tournament end for final trade settlement; after that, the Oracle locks prices.

Example: An Elite bracket with 10 tickets × 500 players = 5 000 tickets (500 SOL gross). After rake (25 SOL), 475 SOL is distributed to winners according to the breakdown above.

Finishing note: Whether you’re a casual dabbling in Rookie brackets or a veteran gunning for Elite glory, tournaments convert raw market intuition into on-chain proof. Smart timing, disciplined risk, and a little luck can translate into tangible SOL—and a healthy stack of FUN Points. Brackets are subject to change.
