Climb from
Rookie to MVP.
Every accurate, fast report builds your reputation — which raises your payout weight, unlocks better games, and earns badges. Get it wrong and it costs you. Truth is the winning strategy.
Rookie
Probationary. Reports must be corroborated. Lower event-value cap.
Spotter
Standard access once you’ve proven baseline accuracy.
Pro
Higher-value events and more concurrent claims.
Elite
Priority slots, walk-up reserve, may anchor provisional reports.
MVP
First pick of marquee games, top share, can mentor & verify.
The ladder moves both ways: sustained accuracy promotes you; a slipping accuracy or dispute rate demotes you. Trust is always current.
Reputation, weighted by trust.
Correct → up
Reputation rises — more when you were fast and decisive.
Wrong → down ~3×
Errors cost about three times what a correct report earns. Only report when you’re sure.
Graded vs official
After the game, events are reconciled against the official record. Honest, vindicated calls aren’t penalized.
Each confirmed event has a pool. Your slice = tier × speed × correctness ÷ the total of everyone who got it right. First-and-right earns the most; first-and-wrong earns nothing and costs reputation.
Wrong costs more than right earns.
Earn your reputation — and show it.
Badges are status — and some carry small perks like slot priority. The tier crests (Rookie → MVP) are the headline.
