# Competitive mode : Eyes on the Prize

## Play with a stake, win and take the Vault home <a href="#dc35" id="dc35"></a>

Eyes on the Prize is a new mode where players have to purchase an entry ticket to play. The current ticket is set at a value of $1 USD and is payable in $ND token.

Players can either pay for their tickets with their rewards previously earned in-game, or by depositing an ND balance in their Nemesis Downfall account.

All the entry tickets from the game participants are gathered into a Vault, and the players now compete to win that vault.

**The top 3 players of the game then get to share the Vault with a 60% — 20% — 10% repartition**. 5% of the vault is taken aside as a participation to the project treasury, which is used to cover infrastructure costs, **and 5% participates to the burn effort through our reward & burn system.** As usual, that repartition is a first setup and might be adjusted later on based on community feedback and project needs.

The rules of the competitive games have been slightly adapted to match the stake better. **The win condition is now to be leading the score at the end of the allocated time period of 12 minutes.**

This patch will also introduce **anti self-kill** and **anti abandon** measure and **prevent the spectate exploit** to ensure fairness of the competitive games.

## Example <a href="#b162" id="b162"></a>

Player joins an Eyes on the Prize — Skirmish game on Military Base and adds his $1 worth of ND to the vault like all 29 other players.

The vault is now worth $30 of NDs of which $27 will be redistributed to players

After 12 minutes, Player leads the score and wins the game, taking home 60% of the Vault or $18 worth of NDs.

**In just 12 minutes, Player has x18 his money.**

## Going further <a href="#id-008b" id="id-008b"></a>

As you know, we are currently in a BETA phase and using this opportunity to test our features and new developments.

With this logic, we are launching the competitive games with a reasonably priced entry ticket, introducing a nice stake and a good return, with a limited risk.

Once the mode is sound and tested, we have plans to release different tiers of competitiveness with progressively higher stakes, and of course bigger opportunities to multiply earnings!
