Season 1

Biweekly contests

A season is five biweekly contests under one target. Each cycle has its own leaderboard and its own prize pot: submissions run for two weeks, then a one-month live window decides the result.

Season standings

No cycle has settled yet.

Standings count only cycles whose one-month live window has closed and whose result is final. Each cycle's own leaderboard is live from the moment it opens — follow the links above.

Standings add up settled cycles only, along the two axes that survive addition: prize money won, and how often a signal made the quality set. There is no season-wide Sharpe — five separate live windows do not average into a comparable number.

Why each cycle needs new alpha

When a cycle closes, every submission that passed the entry checks joins the season's legacy pot. Pot signals stop being prize-eligible but keep occupying their neighbourhood in signal space for the rest of the season — so resubmitting a previous cycle's entry blocks itself. Every cycle rewards signals that are new relative to everything already submitted this season.
