Scoring System

BattleGrid is not just about being "Right" or "Wrong". It's about capturing Volatility. The core scoring mechanic rewards you for correctly predicting the magnitude of a move, not just the direction.

The Core Formula​

Your score is calculated based on whether you got the direction right or wrong.

Correct Prediction:

Score = |Price Change %| * 100 * Captain Multiplier

Wrong Prediction:

Score = -(|Price Change %| * Penalty Multiplier * Captain Penalty Multiplier)
  • If you predict UP and the coin goes +5%, you score +500 points.
  • If you predict DOWN and the coin goes -3%, you score +300 points.
  • If you are WRONG (e.g., predict UP, coin goes -2%), you score -200 points.
caution

Wrong predictions deduct from your total score! A wrong call on a massive move can plunge your total score into the negative.

The Captain Multiplier (2x)​

In every grid, you must designate one card as your Captain. Your Captain earns 2x points when correct, but applies a 2x penalty when wrong.

Strategic Implications​

  • The Safe Play: Put the Captain on your "Highest Conviction" trade (the one you are sure will be correct).
  • The Aggressive Play: Put the Captain on the "Highest Volatility" coin (the one that might move 10-20%), even if it's risky.

Example Scenario​

  • Coin A (Bitcoin) moves +2%. Correct Score: 200. Wrong Score: -200.
  • Coin B (Solana) moves +8%. Correct Captain Score: 1600. Wrong Captain Score: -1600.

Pro Tip: If Solana acts as Captain, you gain 400 extra points vs 100 extra points on Bitcoin. In BattleGrid, Volatility is King.

Captain Best Performer Bonus​

In addition to the 2x score multiplier, your Captain plays a crucial role in the War Bond system.

If your Captain ends up having the highest absolute % move of any card in your 9-card grid, you earn a 100 War Bond Bonus. This is independent of whether your prediction was correct!
