| **Prize**        | Rolex Submariner Ref: 124060                          |
| **Registration** | Open to anyone meeting the eligibility criteria below |

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Testnet reset at start.** At the start of the competition the Pod testnet will be reset. All balances and positions from before the start will be wiped.
{% endhint %}

## Eligibility

To register, your X (Twitter) account must satisfy at least one of:

* X premium account, **or**
* More than 100 followers

One person may register **one account only**. Any sybil behavior (multiple registrations by the same person, coordinated accounts, etc.) will be disqualified.

One X account can be linked to **one wallet** only.

## Starting balance

Every registered participant gets paper testnet USD to trade with. The starting balance depends on when and how you joined:

| Participant                              | Starting balance |
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Registered and deposited on the waitlist | **$10,500 USD**  |
| Registered but no waitlist deposit       | **$10,000 USD**  |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Paper money only.** Competition balances cannot be withdrawn from the network or transferred between accounts. They exist purely for the duration of the competition.
{% endhint %}

## How winners are decided

At the end of the three weeks, each registered account is scored by **absolute P\&L** — the change in total account value (cash + open positions, marked to market) from the participant's starting balance.

The highest absolute P\&L wins the Rolex Submariner Ref: 124060. The winner will be contacted by **DM from the official Pod X account** to their verified X account to arrange delivery of the prize.

## Rules summary

* One person, one account. Sybil entries are disqualified.
* One X account is linked to one wallet for the duration of the competition.
* Paper testnet balances are non-withdrawable and non-transferable.
* The testnet resets at the start — there is no carryover from prior testnet activity.
