ScorePoints (SP) is the point system that powers ScorePlay's leaderboard and competitive features. SP reflects your football knowledge, accuracy, and consistency—not your capital.

Core Principles

Knowledge Over Capital

• SP is earned from accuracy - Correct predictions earn SP
• Consistency matters - Regular accurate voting builds SP over time
• No capital required - SP can be earned through free voting
• USDC is optional - It multiplies rewards but doesn't change SP calculation

Fair Competition

• Equal footing - Everyone competes based on knowledge
• Accuracy rewarded - Correct votes are heavily rewarded
• Signal over volume - Quality predictions matter more than quantity

Earning SP

SP from Voting (Offchain)

• 1 SP per vote - Earned immediately when you place a vote (offchain)
• No capital required - Free voting earns SP based on your participation
• Available to everyone - Anyone can vote and earn SP, regardless of USDC balance

SP from USDC Positions

If you participate with USDC (where permitted by law):

• 1 SP per $1 staked - Earned when you create a position
• 100 SP per $1 profit - Earned if your prediction is correct (when you claim winnings)
• Example: Stake $10, win $15 profit → Earn 10 SP (stake) + 1500 SP (profit × 100) = 1510 SP total

Bonus: Vote + USDC Position

If you have both an offchain vote AND a USDC position:

• 1 SP from the vote (earned immediately)
• 100 SP bonus for having both vote and position
• (Profit + 100) SP if you win (instead of profit × 100)
• Example: Vote + $0.38 stake, $0.71 profit → Earn 1 SP (vote) + 100 SP (bonus) + 171 SP (if win) = 272 SP total

Important: SP reflects knowledge, accuracy, and participation. A player with low or no USDC can still rank highly through accurate voting. USDC positions multiply rewards but don't change the fundamental earning mechanism.

Optional USDC Participation

If you choose to participate with USDC (where permitted by law):

• USDC multiplies rewards - It amplifies the rewards you earn from correct votes
• Does not affect SP - SP is still earned from accuracy, not USDC amount
• Does not change rankings - Leaderboard rankings are based on SP, not capital
• Knowledge still matters most - Accuracy and consistency determine your position

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: High Accuracy, No USDC

• Player votes correctly 80% of the time
• No USDC participation
• Result: High SP, high leaderboard ranking

Scenario 2: Low Accuracy, High USDC

• Player votes correctly 40% of the time
• Large USDC participation
• Result: Lower SP, lower leaderboard ranking

Scenario 3: High Accuracy, High USDC

• Player votes correctly 80% of the time
• USDC participation multiplies rewards
• Result: High SP, high ranking, multiplied rewards

The leaderboard reflects knowledge and accuracy, not wealth.

What Doesn't Earn SP

❌ Incorrect votes - Only correct predictions earn SP
❌ USDC alone - USDC doesn't earn SP, only multiplies rewards
❌ Capital - SP is not earned from wealth or capital

Leaderboard Integration

SP determines your position on leaderboards:

• Weekly leaderboard: SP earned in last 7 days
• Monthly leaderboard: SP earned in current month
• All-time leaderboard: Total SP since account creation

Leaderboards can be filtered by:

• Time period (weekly, monthly, all-time)
• Blockchain network (by chain)

Economy Design Principles

Rewarding Knowledge

• Correct predictions earn SP
• Accuracy is heavily rewarded
• Consistency builds SP over time

Rewarding Skill

• Quality predictions matter more than quantity
• Signal over volume
• Difficulty may factor into SP calculation

Fair Distribution

• SP is earned, not purchased
• No pay-to-win mechanics
• Based on actual prediction accuracy
• Knowledge and skill determine rankings

Optional Enhancement

• USDC participation is optional
• USDC multiplies rewards but doesn't change SP
• Everyone competes on equal footing
• Capital doesn't affect leaderboard rankings

SP and Referrals

Current Status: SP bonuses from referrals are planned but not yet implemented.

When implemented, referrers may earn:

• Bonus SP when referred users make accurate predictions
• SP multipliers for active referral networks
