Quickmatch Whitepaper

Quickmatch is a bot written to create events.
This allows for a series of perpetual events to run and be recreated as soon as an event is full.

How it works.

1. Quickmatch looks at the list of upcoming events and notes all the events it has.
2. If there is an event missing it will be created assuming there is enough tokens in the account to create it.
3. The events are created by longest time since last run first.
4. Each event is created with the run when full setting and set with the start date 1 month in the future.
5. If an event fails to fill up prior to the start date, the event will still run, but the bot will mark that event type as failed and that type will not run until the Warchest is full again. This is to prevent the bot from bleeding out all of its funds.

Fees and how they are spent.

Each event has a small amount of tokens that are not included in the prize pool

For DEC events there is 10DEC not included per player
For SPS events there is 1SPS not included per player

1DEC or 0.1SPS Per Player pays for future development and the costs of running the server.
9DEC or 0.9SPS Per Player goes into the Quickmatch Warchest for running events.

Both DEC and SPS will have the following events with an entry fee of 100DEC or 10SPS
Events may be added or removed over time depending on demand.

• Quick Match Novice Chaos Only NL - 8 Player
• Quick Match Bronze Chaos Only - 8 Player
• Quick Match Silver Chaos Only - 8 Player
• Quick Match Gold Chaos Only - 8 Player
• Quick Match Diamond Chaos Only - 8 Player

The SPS Required Stake will increase for each level

1. Novice = 10 SPS Staked Required
2. Bronze = 100 SPS Staked Required
3. Silver = 250 SPS Staked Required
4. Gold = 500 SPS Staked Required
5. Diamond = 1000 SPS Staked Required

If I can get the Average SPS staked per level I will use that instead

Warchest & Monthly Tournaments

The Warchest is the minimum amount of DEC and SPS needed to run the bot.
It is considered full when there are enough tokens to be able to each event run 4 times.
This is calculated by taking each upcoming and in progress event's prize pool + the total amount of tokens available.

Once a month on the 10th The Bot will take a look at the token pools.
If either token pool is greater than the warchest for that token a tournament will be created that will contain everything greater than the warchest in both prize pools.
If neither token pool has a full warchest there will be no tournament.

The tournament will be an unlimited seat event and will have an entry fee equal to the most played token and event for the month.
The tournament rank and ruleset will be the most played during that month.
The per player fee will be taken from the monthly tournament and the remaining excess if any will go back into the warchest.

Note: Quickmatch Bot is not run by Spinterlands it is run by a player @chaoscommander
