Strategy Tip: Your early picks have more weight, so choose wisely!
Your portfolio value is calculated using real-time stock prices. The system tracks each stock's current price and multiplies it by your shares.
When you join a draft, you're assigned to a division (Healthcare, Banking, Fintech). You compete against the 11 other players in your division.
Rankings are based on total portfolio value. The player with the highest portfolio value wins their division!
Each season lasts 90 days from the draft completion date. Track your progress throughout the season!
At the end of each season, you earn points based on your final division rank. World Rankings are calculated based on trailing 12 months of points to keep the leaderboard fresh and competitive.
| Division Rank | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| 🥇 1st Place | 25 |
| 🥈 2nd Place | 20 |
| 🥉 3rd Place | 16 |
| 4th Place | 13 |
