Same rules for
every @.

Everyone gets the same prompt at the same second, the same timer (1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 5 min — 3 min by default) and the same tools: brush, marker, eraser, fill, the curated palette, four sizes, undo, redo and clear.

• Human drawing only. No uploads, pasting, importing, tracing or AI generation. The board rejects paste and drop; every drawing is a stroke log that replays from the first line.
• The server owns the clock. At zero every canvas locks at once; nobody gets extra time, including after a reconnect.
• A blank canvas doesn't enter the bracket.
• Keep it playable: no hate, sexual content, harassment, personal information or other people's private details. Drawings are safety-checked after the lock; anything held for review never reaches voters.

• Matchups are anonymous: just DRAWING A vs DRAWING B. Nothing on the page, in the image or in the share link reveals the artist while the matchup is open.
• One identity, one vote per matchup, all votes equal. Votes are never weighted by holdings, balance, followers, PnL or account value.
• If your own drawing is in a matchup, your vote there is skipped (“YOUR DRAWING IS IN THIS MATCHUP · vote skipped”).
• Each matchup is open for 12 seconds (the final for 20). When it closes, the artists and the vote split are revealed for 4 seconds and the winner advances.
• Who may vote is set per round (for example verified Fomo identities only) and shown in the lobby.
• Totals are published after each matchup closes. Who voted for what is never published; a signed audit trail is kept server-side.

The sudden-death window lasts 5 seconds and counts fresh votes only.

• Before entry opens, each round publishes a commitment: sha256(secret seed). The bracket, the showcase order and every tiebreak are derived from that seed, the round id and the eligible entries — so nobody can steer them after the fact.
• When the bracket isn't a power of two, the first slots get byes (advance without a vote). Byes are decided when the bracket is generated.
• If a drawing is disqualified, or still under review when its matchup opens, it forfeits (ENTRY DISQUALIFIED / ENTRY UNDER REVIEW) and the opponent advances without a vote.
• At the result the seed is revealed and the result is signed (ed25519). Anyone can re-derive the whole round on its fair-play page.

• Prizes are pre-funded promotional rewards. There's no entry fee, no wagering and no player-funded pot.
• A prize shows FUNDED ✓ only after the funding is verified on-chain. Until then it says it isn't funded yet.
• The champion is paid once per round, to the reward wallet linked to their identity. No wallet yet? The payout waits (held) until you add one at /connect — enter it once, it's reused forever.
• Payouts are marked PAID only after the transaction is confirmed. If a round is void, its funding is refunded to the funder.

Placements: champion 1 · runner-up 2 · semifinal 3 · quarterfinal 5 · round of 16: 9 · round of 32: 17. Matchups decided by votes, sudden death or the seed tiebreak update your Art Rating (Elo, starting at 1500); byes and forfeits don't.

Season points: champion 25 · runner-up 18 · semifinal 12 · quarterfinal 7 · every other finished drawing 2.

• No vote rings, multiple identities, bots, or trading votes. Voting is rate-limited and may ask for a quick human check when something looks automated.
• Nobody is banned for an IP address alone, and admins can never edit a result or a vote count.
• See something wrong? Use “Report” on any drawing or artist page. Reports are reviewed by a person.
