Complete guide to
BuyCrypt tournaments.

Nearest free start and the schedule

The fastest way into your first tournament.

1. 1Nearest free start: the closest tournament with free entry, with its prize and a Join tour button.
2. 2Next in the schedule: upcoming and running tournaments with entry, prize and the scoring (PNL or PMC) on the right.

How the result is counted, and the rules

Scroll down for the scoring and the three rules that matter most.

1. 1The switch between PNL · in USDT and PMC · in % (step 03).
2. 2An example leaderboard for the chosen scoring.
3. 3Rules: only trades on the tournament pair, after the start count; 1 tournament at a time; a prize needs a result above zero.
4. 4Trader path: your road from the first trade to USDT prizes (step 11).

PMC: the percent, not the amount

In a PMC tournament a small account can beat a big one: the leaderboard compares percentages.

1. 1PMC · in % selected.
2. 2The example: the trader with a 250 USDT balance is first with +6.40%, ahead of a 4,800 USDT balance with +2.10%.

How PMC adds up

On a PMC leaderboard, the ? next to the score column opens this explanation.

1. 1Each closed position gets the percentage move of the price from entry to exit, in the direction of the trade: a short earns when the price falls.
2. 2The results of all closed positions are added up: +10% + 4.5% − 8.5% = +6%.

A tournament card

Tap the card or Leaderboard to look inside before you join.

1. 1Cover with the status: New, Ongoing, Ended or Awaiting result. Special categories carry a badge here, and some tournaments a minimum rating (for example Gold 1500+).
2. 2The coin that counts and the name with its number in the series.
3. 3Participants. Until the minimum is reached it is shown as joined/minimum.
4. 4Start date (a countdown in the last 24 hours, Waiting for participants if the minimum is not reached yet); Entry — Free, Tour Pass or BUYT; Rewards — the prize pool and its currency.
5. 5Leaderboard: prizes, description and participants (step 05).
6. 6Join tour: start joining (step 06). After you join it turns into You're in.
