Contest Rules

These Contest Rules apply to every section on AIM unless a section page states additional conditions. They sit alongside the Terms of Service.

1. Nature of contests

Each section is a free skill contest. Entry does not require payment of an entry fee or purchase of coins. Outcomes depend on your picks and admin-recorded performance scores—not on chance wagering against a house odds book.

2. Tournament modes

Tournament 1 — Squad of players

• You must complete picks for every game in the section.
• For each game, select exactly the admin-set number of players from any teams in that game.
• Section score = sum of admin points for your selected players.

Tournament 2 — One team every game

• You must pick exactly one team in every game.
• No player picks. Section score = sum of points for your teams.

Tournament 3 — One team in X games

• Admin sets X (max games). The section must contain at least X games.
• You must pick exactly X games and exactly one team in each.
• Unchosen games contribute zero. Score = sum of chosen team points.

3. Lock window

• Picks must be saved and locked before the section start date/time.
• After lock, picks are final.
• If you do not lock before start, you have no valid entry for ranking.

4. Scoring & results

• Admins enter player scores (T1) or team scores (T2/T3) after play.
• Rankings are computed from locked picks + scores.
• Results are published after the section end / admin publish step. AIM may correct obvious errors.

5. Prizes

• Prize table (place, title, description, value text, image) is shown per section.
• Unless stated otherwise, prizes go to the user(s) occupying the corresponding rank(s) when results publish.
• Ties: AIM may apply published tie-breakers or split/alternate as stated for that section.
• Fulfillment is via admin prize chat only. Users cannot self-claim via payment gateway betting flows.

6. Disqualification

AIM may disqualify entries for cheating, multi-accounting, late/invalid picks, abusive conduct, or legal risk. Disqualified entries forfeit prizes.

7. Cancellation

If a section cannot be completed fairly (force majeure, data loss, legal order), AIM may cancel or reopen with notice. No cash “stake refund” arises because no stake is charged to enter.
