Key Features
Follows Real-World Sports Leagues: Leagues are built around real-world sports leagues (e.g., NFL, EPL). When creating a league, players select one or more sports leagues. The league’s duration aligns with the combined duration of the chosen sports leagues. If a gap exists between the selected sports leagues, the system prevents the creation of the league.
Regular Season and Playoffs: Each league consists of a regular season followed by playoffs. During the regular season, players face off in weekly 1v1 matchups. At the end of the regular season, top players advance to the playoffs, where they compete to become the league champion.
Configurable League Setup: Players creating a league can configure several options, including the maximum number of participants and the number of playoff slots. This customization allows for various league formats, from small, intimate competitions to larger, more intense rivalries.
East & West Conferences: To add to the competitive experience, players in a league are split into two conferences, East and West, with an equal number of participants. This setup ensures balanced competition and an engaging playoff structure.

Creating a Legue
Select Sport Leagues: Choose one or more sport leagues to form the basis of the league. The league’s start and end dates will match the duration of the selected sport leagues, including all matches within that time frame.
Set the Maximum Number of Participants: Decide how many players can join the league (up to 30 players). This limit ensures a manageable league size while maintaining competitiveness.
Choose Playoff Slots: Specify how many players will advance to the playoffs. The number of playoff participants determines the structure of the playoff rounds. For example, if 6 players advance, there will be 3 playoff rounds, with players advancing through standard playoff bracket, and consolation ladders.
Host-Defined League Start Date: The host sets the league’s start date, which determines when all Regular Season matchups are created. Hence, you can no longer leave the league. All participants can also start placing bets on that day.

Playoff Structure
The playoffs in Balance Bet consist of three parts: the Winners Bracket, Winners Consolation Ladder, and Consolation Ladder. Each part serves a specific purpose, ensuring that all players have a chance to compete for their final placements in the league.
Winners Bracket:
The Winners Bracket is where the top players from each conference face off. These are the players who performed best during the regular season and earned their spots by finishing at the top of the standings.
The primary goal of the Winners Bracket is to determine the league champion. Each round of the bracket is a 1v1 matchup, with winners advancing to the next round until only one player remains. The last player standing in this bracket is crowned the champion of the league.
Losing in the Winners Bracket doesn’t mean your journey is over—you’ll get another chance to compete in the Winners Consolation Ladder.
Winners Consolation Ladder
If you lose in the Winners Bracket, you’ll move to the Winners Consolation Ladder. This bracket gives you an opportunity to continue competing even after an early loss in the playoffs.
The Winners Consolation Ladder determines placements for players who are knocked out of contention for the league championship but still want to achieve a higher ranking than those in the Consolation Ladder. It’s your chance to redeem yourself and secure a respectable finish.
Consolation Ladder:
Players who didn’t qualify for the Winners Bracket enter the Consolation Ladder. This is a separate set of matchups designed to give every participant a chance to compete for their exact placement in the league.
The Consolation Ladder ensures that all players are ranked accurately by the end of the playoffs. Even if you didn’t make it to the Winners Bracket, you can still battle it out in the ladder to prove yourself and climb up the ranks.

No Ties in the Playoffs
During the playoffs, ties are not allowed. Each 1v1 matchup must have a clear winner to ensure that there is always a victor. In case of a tie in balance, we will use the same tiebreaker as in regular games to determine the winner. This rule applies across both the Winners Bracket and Consolation Ladders, maintaining the competitive integrity of the playoffs and ensuring that every match moves the competition forward.
The playoffs in Balance Bet are designed to keep the competition engaging and fair, giving every player multiple chances to compete. While the Winners Bracket identifies the ultimate league champion, the Consolation Ladders help determine the exact placements for all participants, ensuring that everyone has a chance to finish on a strong note.

Exeptions
There are certain exceptions to how Balance Bet handles league games. These exceptions ensure smooth gameplay even under unusual circumstances.
Odd Number of Players in the League
When a league has an odd number of players, each week during the regular season, one player will receive a bye-week:
During a bye-week, you won’t be required to participate in a matchup. The round will not count as a win, loss, or tie for you. The score will be adjusted to consider that you skipped a week.
However, you’ll still have the option to place bets if you wish, allowing you to compare your skills and results with those of other players competing during the same week.
A similar strategy applies to playoff weeks. Multiple players might receive a bye-week if their positions on the league leaderboard are final, or if their next opponent is not yet decided. In such cases, bye-weeks work the same way as in the regular season—players can place bets for fun without any negative consequences.
Unlike regular season bye-weeks, playoff bye-weeks automatically grant an automatic win to the player who does not have an opponent. This ensures smooth progression through the playoff rounds.
League with Fewer Players than Expected
If a league does not gather enough players to meet its requirements, the system will automatically adjust:
For example, if a league has a maximum of 30 players and expects 16 players to qualify for the playoffs, but only 10 players join before the start date, the system will resize the league by decreasing the number of playoff slots.
Once resized, the league will proceed as if it initially had a lower playoff player count, ensuring fair competition without canceling the league.
League with Less than 6 Players
If fewer than 6 players join a league by the start date, the league will be canceled. This threshold ensures that there are enough participants to maintain a competitive and engaging league format.
