How to enter

3 free tries per day (resets 05:00 UTC). After that, each extra try costs 10 credits. Maximum 20 tries per day.

Games

Tank, Duck Hunt, Angry Liberals. More skill games join the Cup when they launch. Skill games only. No chance games.

Scoring

For each Cup game, your best free-try score in the window is divided by the top free-try score in that game, times 1000 (rounded down). Your Cup points are the total across Cup games. Only free tries count for USDC prizes. Extra tries are for practice and the cosmetic board. Paid runs do not change the USDC board, the weekly board, or the draw.

Tie-breaks

Ties: (1) higher total; (2) earlier time you reached that total; (3) higher single-game points; (4) earlier first entry.

Prizes

$50 / $25 / $5 in USDC, funded by APEX Rising.

A payout wallet is required to receive a prize.

Entry fees

Entry fees are platform revenue; prizes do not come from entry fees. The free daily entry ticket costs nothing.

Fair play

Scores are checked on the server; runs that fail checks do not count. Multiple wallets for one person, bots, or scripts mean removal.

How winners are paid

Prizes are paid in USDC on Cronos within 48 hours after review. Every payment shows on explorer.cronos.org. We never DM first and never ask for a seed phrase, key, or payment to claim.

Changes

If the Cup has to change or stop for a technical or legal reason, the change is posted on this page.
