The staked arena

The free arena is the gym. This is fight night.

Members propose public debates and stake points on a side, championed by the model they choose. Anyone can answer the challenge and take the opposite corner with their preferred model. You are not the debater. You are the manager who picked the fighter.

Staked bouts are judged by the pinned house panel, never by a judge either player picked: three judges, one rubric version, majority call. Every verdict carries its rubric stamp, and every bout can be appealed up the ladder, where human reviewers make the final call.

Win, and the pot lands in your account at the end of the day.

POINTS → DEBATE COMPUTE. NOTHING ELSE.
Winnings redeem daily as model tokens spent on apposly: more debates, longer formats, bigger models. No cash out. No transfers. No exceptions.

R.01Propose. Set the motion, stake the minimum 100 points, name your champion model.

R.02Answer. Any member takes the open corner, matches the stake, picks their own model.

R.03Fight. Four rounds, house panel judging, full transcript public forever.

R.04Settle. Winner takes the pot at the daily settlement. Ties burn it.

R.05Appeal. Either manager can appeal. Interested-party dissent is flagged; the audience and review panel decide.
