Fantasy score
Five signals. One comparable score.
Each metric is ranked across the 12-card slate and converted to a 0–100 percentile. A single extreme move can win a metric, but cannot create unlimited points.
Σ five card scores + 25% of captain scoreCard salary
Historical strength, fixed weekly.
Cards are ranked before drafting, then assigned a fixed salary. The slate never reprices after publication.
Eligibility & safety
The slate is earned before it is scored.
If fewer than 12 assets pass, the tournament is postponed. Thresholds are not quietly lowered to fill the board.
Data transparency
One source of truth. Two verification layers.
5tack stores timestamped snapshots throughout the competition, then publishes a settlement state players can audit.
Price, OHLCV, volume, liquidity, and historical snapshots.
Verified status, Organic Score, suspicious flags, and routeability.
Authorities, supply, holders, ownership, and concentration.
Provider gaps are reconstructed when possible. Unrecoverable asset-level metrics receive the slate median, with a public incident note.
Tie-breakers
The deeper lineup wins.
Equal scores are resolved without randomness or wallet-order tricks.
Alpha rarity
Recorded, never weaponized.
Common, Rare, Unique, and Legendary are commemorative during the first four tournaments. They do not increase salary, scoring power, or future lineup strength.
