FootBond Tournaments, Competitions, Rules and Awards

1. TOURNAMENTS AND COMPETITIONS

In the FootBond world there are four different types of Tournaments and each of them has competitions that are played daily or weekly. The player can participate in the competition of his choice in any Tournament of his choice without any financial compensation.

1. “Weekly Tournaments Competitions” (Weekly)
2. “Challenge CUP Tournaments Competitions” (CC)
3. “Joker CUP Tournaments Competitions” (JC)
4. “Training Tournaments Competitions”

Players create a portfolio for each competition they participate in and invest 1,000 “Credits” provided by FootBond. The number of matches in the competitions is determined by FootBond and it is mandatory to invest in each match. Players must spend 1,000 Credits in full. The minimum amount of credits to invest in a team is 20 and the maximum is 200. Depending on the scores obtained by the invested teams, the cards seen, whether it is a home or away team and the rate of returns, profits are earned.

The rate of returns of the teams are calculated by FootBond algorithms based on the teams’ performance and announced before the game starts. More successful teams have a lower rate of return, while relatively less successful teams have a higher rate of return.

The higher the score difference, the higher the return. Away wins generate higher returns. In matches where there is no home-away distinction, such as cup finals and international organizations, both teams are considered as home. If the invested team loses the match, a loss is incurred according to the rate of return of the opposing team.

Players can use FootBond world assets such as “Joker” and “Token” to increase the team’s rate of return within certain rules, utilize insurance to protect investments against yellow and red card penalties or double their earnings by using “Joker”. At the end of the competition, players are ranked according to their earnings and the player with the highest earning wins the grand prize.

The amount and nature of the prizes depend on the Tournament type. The prizes are “Token”, “Joker” and “Coin” of the FootBond world assets.

Earned “Tokens” and “Jokers” are stored in the player’s wallet and can be used in any FootBond tournament. The “Coins” earned by the Player can be converted into Gift Cards. The Player must have at least 1500 “Coins” in his/her wallet in order to convert them into Gift Cards.

The player can also convert the “Coins” they earn into “Tokens” in-game if they wish. 1 “Coin” is worth 100 “Tokens”. “Tokens” can also be earned by watching advertisements.

Players who enter the FootBond world receive a one-time welcome gift of a certain number of “Tokens”, “Jokers” and “Coins” in their wallets. Players can earn more Tokens, Jokers, and Coins by participating in training competiitons.

4. Appendix 2 Rate of Returns of Teams

The rate of returns of the teams are determined differently according to the Tournament type. In Weekly Tournaments, the rate of returns are calculated by evaluating the teams’ performances in the last years with FootBond criteria. The rate of returns are set at the beginning of the season and remain fixed for the first 4 weeks of the season, in the following weeks the team’s ranking in the League determines the rate of returns.

The rate of returns in the Challenge Cup and Joker CUP Tournaments are based on the ranking of the teams in the competition, which is determined by comparing their current performance against each other.

Players can increase the rate of returns of their invested teams by  1 point in exchange for a “Token”.

The stated rate of return determines the income if the home team wins the match by one goal difference. The return multiplier increases in increments of 0.25 as the score difference increases.  For example, if a team with a rate of return of 2 wins the match 1-0, 2 is used as the rate of return. If the team wins the match 2-0, the rate of return is multiplied by 1.25 and becomes 2.5. If the team wins the match 3-0, the rate of return is multiplied by 1.5 and becomes 3.

FootBond rewards the team that wins away. The rate of return for an away win is multiplied by 1.5. For example, if a team with a rate of return of 2 wins 1-0 away, the return rate is multiplied by 1.5 and becomes 3. If the team wins the match 2-0, the rate of return is multiplied by 1.75 and becomes 3.5. If the team wins the match 3-0, the rate of return is multiplied by 2 and becomes 4.

The rate of return increases depending on the score difference.

In short, it gives more when the team wins with a higher score difference, and even more when it achieves the same result away.

In case the home and away team wins, it generates profit according to the score difference as mentioned above. When the invested team loses the match, it generates a loss at the rate of return of the losing team, again depending on the score difference.

In case of a draw, the home team’s rate of return is reduced to 0, while the away team’s rate of return is halved. In the event of a draw, the away team generates half of the rate of return for its investors, while the home team earns nothing for its investors.

5. Appendix 3 Yellow and Red Card Penalties

Teams receive penalty points depending on the number of yellow and red cards they receive. Each card a team receives reduces the earnings generated by the team.

Players can insure their invested teams against possible losses due to yellow or red cards in exchange for “Token”.

Each yellow card reduces the team’s return multiplier by 0.4 points, each red card reduces the team’s return multiplier by 0.8 points.

Only cards shown to players while they are on the pitch (active in the match) are taken into account.
