Match Wagers. Open matches accept wagers from 10–10,000 BB. Betting closes when the Committee locks the match. Payout is parimutuel: the losing pool is divided among winning stakes in proportion to size. Ties and cancellations are refunded.
The Oracle’s Bracket. A single 100 BB entry, picked before Round One. Points: Round 1 = 1, Round of 8 = 2, Semifinals = 4, Final = 8. The pot of bracket entries is distributed 60 / 30 / 10 to the top three oracles after the Cup is awarded.
No cash. Branford Bucks are play-money for the sport of the tournament. No prizes, no redemptions, no appeals.
The Committee’s word is final on match results, settlements, and all matters of interpretation.
