# Leaderboard Rewards (TBD)

## **Leaderboard Rewards**

The **Leaderboard Rewards** system recognizes the most skilled, active, and successful players on Basketball.fun. Every week and every season, players compete across multiple categories to earn exclusive prizes, tokens, badges, and special access.

Leaderboard rewards are designed to:

* Incentivize active trading
* Reward smart gameplay
* Highlight top-performing players
* Create ongoing engagement beyond simple pack opening

***

### **How It Works**

Each player automatically earns points by:

* Trading player shares
* Participating in Weekly Contests
* Hitting winning predictions
* Holding grail players
* Completing daily/weekly challenges (optional future feature)

At the end of each leaderboard cycle (weekly + seasonal), rewards are distributed based on your rank.

***

## **Leaderboard Types**

Basketball.fun features three main leaderboard categories:

***

### **1. Trading Leaderboard**

Rewards players based on:

* Total trading volume
* Trading profitability (PNL)
* Successful buys/sells during volatility windows
* Diversity of players traded

**Scoring Example:**

* +1 point per $1 in trading volume
* +2 points per profitable trade
* +10 points for profitable trades during Tier 3+ volatility
* +50 points for owning a Top 5 grail performer that week

This leaderboard rewards **traders**.

***

### **2. Prediction Leaderboard**

Connected to the **Weekly Contests** feature.

You earn points for each correct prediction:

| Result                 | Points                  |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Win (low odds)         | +10 points              |
| Win (medium odds)      | +20 points              |
| Win (longshot)         | +40 points              |
| Participate in contest | +5 points               |
| Stake size multiplier  | +1 point per $10 staked |

This leaderboard rewards **skill and game-reading ability**, not just bankroll.

***

### **3. Collection Leaderboard**

For collectors & pack openers.

Points are awarded for:

* Pulling rare players
* Completing team sets
* Completing conference sets
* Completing special-event collections (e.g., Christmas Day players)
* Owning multiple grails

**Example Points:**

* Grail pull: +100 points
* All-Star pull: +50 points
* Full team collection: +40 points
* Full season set: +200 points

This leaderboard rewards **pack grinders and collectors**.

***

## **Weekly Rewards**

At the end of every week, the top finishers get:

#### **🏅 Tiered Prize Structure**

| Rank        | Reward                                             |

| **Top 1**   | Exclusive player card skin + $500 in Player Tokens |

| **Top 100** | Free pack (25 or 50 tier) + leaderboard badge      |

Weekly rewards reset every Monday at 00:00 UTC.

## **Seasonal Rewards**

Season rewards run alongside the NBA season.

Players accumulate seasonal leaderboard points across all weekly cycles.

#### **Seasonal Grand Prizes**

* **Season Champion Trophy NFT**
* **Exclusive Legendary Pack (never sold publicly)**
* **High-value token bundle**
* **Permanent Profile Badge**
* **Early Access to Future Game Modes**

Seasonal rewards reward **consistent excellence**, not just lucky weeks.

***

## **Badges & Cosmetic Rewards**

To build identity and social flexing:

* Gold, Silver, Bronze badges
* Rare seasonal badges
* Challenge completion emblems
* Profile-level decorations
* Animated trophies (premium)

These do not affect gameplay but create long-term reputation.

***

## **Anti-Exploitation Rules**

To ensure fairness:

* Sybil detection
* Duplicate account bans
* Volume washing detection
* Prediction manipulation filters
* Suspicious activity review

Rewards are only distributed to legitimate accounts.
