# Rewards for Underdog Players

**Underdog Status and Reward System**

When playing against significantly stronger opponents due to matchmaking not finding other available players at that time, there will be an opportunity to be considered an "underdog." This status will be determined using a specific mathematical formula. If a player is deemed an underdog, they will have the chance to win additional rewards, calculated based on the fees spent during that match. The algorithm will operate as follows:

⚙️ **Algorithm Operation**

1. **Calculation of Spent Fees:**\
   The fees spent during the match are calculated. For example, if a player spends 1,000 tokens.
2. **Conversion of Fees to Dollars:**\
   The value of the fees is calculated in dollars. For example, 1,000 tokens are equivalent to 1 dollar.
3. **Determination of Rewards:**\
   The dollar value of the fees is compared with the rewards to be distributed using a 1:20 ratio. For example, if 1 dollar equals 1,000 chips, with a 1:20 ratio, the rewards will be 50 chips.
4. **Proportion Adjustment Based on Active Users:**\
   The initial proportion will be 1:100 until the threshold of 100 active users is exceeded. From that point onward, it will gradually decrease, following these bands:

   * From 100 to 500: proportion 1:125
   * From 500 to 1,000: proportion 1:200
   * From 1,000 to 5,000: proportion 1:350
   * From 5,000 to 10,000: proportion 1:600
   * From 10,000 to 50,000: proportion 1:800
   * From 50,000 to 100,000: proportion 1:1,400
   * Above 100,000: fixed proportion 1:2,000

   These initial thresholds can be adjusted based on data collected and the needs of the game.

🎁 **Type of Rewards**

The rewards distributed to underdog players will consist solely of in-game currencies (chips, marks, cores, shards), distributed randomly and in accordance with the algorithm explained above.

✅ **Challenge Acceptance**

Before starting a match, the player will be informed of the opponent they will face. Only if they consciously accept the challenge will they be able to compete against a stronger opponent. This ensures that players are always aware of the potential disadvantage and can make an informed decision before starting the match.
