Pick a chip and put USDG behind it (1 USDG minimum). You are not buying the stock, you are backing it — like picking a player for your fantasy team. Once only 5 chips are left the doors close, so nobody can jump in late and grab a pot they never risked anything for.
The board checks the scores. The backed chip that has done worst since the season started is knocked out. Automatic — day, night, weekends. Nobody can delay it or skip it.
Your chip is out, your money is not gone. Up to 60% comes back to you as SEMI, 30% goes into the pot for whoever is still standing, 10% goes to the SEMI floor. Nobody walks away with nothing.
How much SEMI you get back depends on how long you lasted before your first loss: 40% if you are out in round one, +2.5% for every round you survived, up to 60%. Spread money over every chip and your first loss comes in round one — 40%, no way up. Backing the few chips you actually believe in is what pays.
Between rounds you can move your money to a different chip for 0.5%. Wrong about Intel? Switch to Micron before the next check. The last backed chip on the board wins, and its backers split the pot in proportion to what they put in.
Claim collects everything you are owed — winnings in USDG, refunds in SEMI, from every season you ever played. Nothing expires and nothing is lost if you forget to come back for a week.
The whole board loads in one call and refreshes every 15 seconds. No 3D, no waiting. If a price is out of date you see a flag on that chip, not a broken page.
Prices come from the live on-chain stock pools, around the clock, weekends included. If a price feed goes quiet for 2 hours the game waits for a fresh one instead of knocking anyone out on stale numbers.
