### 1. Lineup Rules

* **Minimum cards to play:** 1
* **Maximum cards in lineup:** 5
* A lineup represents the cards you commit for the current Gameweek.
* You can update your lineup during the **lineup window** (see schedule below).

You can access lineup creation at: **Team Builder → Select Lineup**

***

### 2. Weekly Schedule (Gameweek Cycle)

| Phase                             | Time Window (Local Game Time) | What Happens                          |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Performance Measurement Start** | Monday 00:01                  | Athlete scoring begins                |
| **Lineup Editable**               | Monday 00:01 → Thursday 23:59 | You can add/remove/reorder cards      |
| **Lock Period**                   | Friday 00:00 → Sunday 23:59   | Lineup is frozen, no changes allowed  |
| **Performance Measurement End**   | Sunday 23:59                  | End of scoring window                 |
| **Results & Rewards**             | Monday (following day)        | Scores calculated, rankings published |

All scoring and ranking resets weekly.

***

### 3. Scoring System

Scoring is based on **Instagram activity of each athlete** during the Gameweek window:

**From Monday 00:01 → Sunday 23:59**

Metrics measured include public performance indicators such as:

* Posts
* Followers
* Engagement (likes, comments, interactions)

A proprietary scoring model converts these signals into **individual athlete scores**.\
Your **Lineup Score** = Sum of the scores of the cards in your lineup.

***

### 4. Autoplay Mode (Default)

Autoplay assists new or busy managers.

How it works:

* From **Monday to Wednesday**, we automatically evaluate the performance of all cards you own.
* We automatically select the **best-performing cards** and create your lineup.
* You may **manually change your lineup on Thursday**, or disable autoplay permanently.

If autoplay is disabled:

* You must choose your lineup before Thursday 23:59.

***

### 5. Lock Phase

* From **Friday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59**, the lineup is locked.
* No changes can be made during this period.
* This ensures competitive fairness while the scoring window continues.

***

### 6. Results & Ranking

On **Monday**, after scoring closes:

1. The score of each lineup is calculated.
2. A **global ranking** of all participating managers is generated.
3. **Rewards are assigned based on ranking position.**

Every participant receives a reward, regardless of rank.

Rewards are:

* **Credited directly to the Manager's Wallet**
* **Sent via email summary**, including:
  * Your score
  * Ranking position
  * Rewards earned

***

### 7. Rewards & Cash Prize Pool

Each Gameweek displays a **cash prize amount**, visible before the week begins.

| Ranking Result   | Reward Example            |
| ---------------- | ------------------------- |
| Top positions    | Higher monetary rewards   |
| Mid positions    | Medium reward tier        |
| All participants | Minimum guaranteed reward |

Rewards vary according to the prize pool of the Gameweek.

***

2. Build or use autoplay for your lineup (max 5 cards).
3. Lineup edits allowed Monday → Thursday.
