Big Time’s Showdown Tournament is an event that will run in parallel with the $BIGTIME Leaderboard. The qualifying rounds will take place during the final month of the leaderboard round, while the Showdown (final round) will occur in the week following the end of the leaderboard round.
This event is designed to provide a new opportunity for acquiring $BIGTIME tokens, especially for players who might not achieve a high leaderboard rank or for those who want to increase their winnings.
How It Works
This tournament consists of four weekly qualifying rounds where players compete in specific tasks to earn points. At the end of each Qualifier Round, only the top 10 players from that round will earn a spot in the showdown. Based on the rank from each of the qualifying rounds, players will accrue ‘Showdown Points’. These points will give you a head start in the Showdown!

$BIGTIME Rewards
$BIGTIME tokens will be granted to the top 10 players at the end of the Showdown round. The token amount will depend on their standings as follows:

No matter how many points you accrued in the Qualifiers, your final points that you can carry over to the Final, are based on your placement. (e.g. if everyone had 10,000,000+ pts in the race for Round 1, they would only carry over the rank-based Showdown Points from the table above)
