PvP Challenges
01 How does PvP staking work?

Both players stake the same amount of SOL into an on-chain escrow account on Solana. The winner takes ~95% of the pot — the remaining 5% is a house fee. Stakes are locked in escrow until the match resolves on-chain, so neither side can pull their SOL back mid-match.

02 How is the winner determined?

Highest score wins. Scores are verified server-side — every brick break, paddle position, and frame is logged and checked, so cheating is caught before a match counts. As soon as both players have submitted a score, the winner is paid out automatically on-chain.

03 Can I cancel my challenge?

Yes, as long as no one has accepted it yet. Tap the X next to your challenge in My Challenges, sign the cancel in your wallet, and your SOL is refunded on-chain. Once someone has accepted, the challenge is locked in play and can't be cancelled.

04 What happens if no one accepts my challenge before it expires?

Your SOL is automatically refunded to your wallet on-chain. You set the expiry when you post (6, 12, or 24 hours). The refund usually lands within an hour of expiry.

05 What happens once someone accepts?

The match is on. Your opponent has the rest of the original challenge window to play — they can pause and come back. If they accepted close to expiry, they're still guaranteed at least 30 minutes regardless. The match resolves on-chain as soon as they submit a score.

06 What if my opponent accepts but never submits a score?

After the original challenge window expires and at least 30 minutes have passed since they accepted, you win by default and the pot is paid out to you automatically. This protects you from someone accepting and then walking away.

Weekly Tournament
07 How does the Weekly Tournament work?

Each week, players pay 0.05 SOL to enter and post their best score. Unlimited attempts — only your best counts. The tournament resolves every Sunday at 21:00 UTC and the top 3 players split the prize pool, paid out automatically on-chain the moment the timer hits zero.

08 How is the prize pool calculated?

All entry fees combine into a single pot. A 10% house rake is taken from the gross. The remaining 90% is the net prize pool, split between the top 3 finishers: 1st place 50%, 2nd place 30%, 3rd place 20%.

09 Can I re-enter the tournament multiple times?

Yes. Each attempt costs 0.05 SOL and adds to the prize pool. Only your best score across all attempts counts toward your leaderboard position. There's no cap on attempts.

10 What if fewer than 3 players enter?

If 1-2 players enter, they take a pro-rata share of the net pot — for example, one entry means the winner takes 90% of the net pot. If zero players enter, no resolve happens and the prize pool rolls over to the next week.

11 Can I get a refund on my tournament entry?

No. The entry fee buys you the right to compete that week — whether or not you play. This is standard tournament practice. If you enter but don't post a score before the timer expires, your entry still contributes to the prize pool for others.

12 Are tournament wins tracked anywhere?

Yes. Every tournament win counts toward your SOL Legends ranking — a permanent global leaderboard that tracks lifetime wins and SOL earned across both PvP challenges and Weekly Tournaments. Top finishers are enshrined.
