# How It works Rebellion uses a structured, point-based scoring system that transforms asset performance into an engaging, skill-based competition. Inspired by fantasy sports, all scores are presented as whole numbers—creating a familiar, leaderboard-driven experience that rewards strategy, not just speculation. *** #### Relative Scoring Model All leagues—**Fantasy and Pro**—use a **relative scoring system**. Players are ranked based on how well their portfolio performs **compared to the league average**, rather than absolute market gains or losses. **Formula:**\ **Score = (Your Portfolio Return − League Average Return) × 10** This ensures that players are rewarded for **outperforming peers**, even in volatile or bearish market conditions. **Example:** * Your team return = +3.2% * League average return = +1.0% * Score = (3.2 – 1.0) × 100 = **+220 points** Even a negative return can score highly if the rest of the field performed worse. *** #### Score Format: Whole Number Scaling To align with the game-like feel of fantasy leagues, all scores are scaled and displayed as **whole numbers**. This improves clarity and allows for clean leaderboard visuals and player comparisons. *** #### Advanced Scoring Mechanics (Pro Mode Only) Pro Mode introduces optional scoring modifiers to reward deeper strategic decisions: * **Captain Boost** – One pre-selected asset earns **1.5× points** * **Streak Bonus** – Earn **+5 bonus points** if 3 or more assets gain over 5% * **Volatility Penalty** – Assets with a drawdown >20% may trigger a **−3 point deduction** * **Sector Concentration Penalty** – Portfolios with >40% allocation to a single sector may incur a **−2 point penalty** These mechanics are designed to reward risk-adjusted thinking, balance, and conviction—while discouraging overly aggressive or one-dimensional play. *** #### Summary Rebellion’s scoring system blends financial realism with game-level accessibility. By converting real portfolio performance into intuitive, whole-point scores, it allows players to **compete confidently**, track progress clearly, and win through strategy—whether markets are up, down, or sideways. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
