# Lineups & Multipliers

### Lineups & Multipliers

Lineups are the core execution unit on Picks.\
They define both the structure of your prediction and the reward profile tied to it.

***

#### Lineups

A lineup is created by combining multiple independent Picks into a single entry.

Rules:

* minimum of **2 Picks**
* maximum of **6 Picks**

Each Pick contributes one binary outcome to the lineup.\
All Picks in a lineup must settle correctly for the lineup to qualify for full payout.

***

#### Difficulty and Risk

Lineups increase in difficulty as more Picks are added.

* Fewer Picks → lower difficulty
* More Picks → higher difficulty

Higher difficulty lineups have a lower probability of full success, but offer greater potential rewards.

This relationship between difficulty and reward is explicit and defined before execution.

***

#### Multipliers

Each lineup has a fixed multiplier that determines the potential payout.

Multipliers are based on:

* the number of Picks in the lineup
* the overall difficulty of the selected Picks

As Picks are added or adjusted, the multiplier updates to reflect the current lineup configuration.

Before confirmation, the multiplier is:

* fully visible
* final
* guaranteed not to change after submission

***

#### Fixed Payout Structure

Once a lineup is confirmed:

* the multiplier is locked
* the payout structure is fixed
* no adjustments are made during or after the events

There are no pools, no opponent matching, and no dynamic odds.

What you see at submission is exactly what applies at settlement.

***

#### Outcome Logic

Lineups settle strictly based on the results of their individual Picks.

* If all Picks are correct, the multiplier is applied to the allocated amount
* If one or more Picks are incorrect, settlement follows the predefined rules shown before confirmation

There is no partial interpretation and no discretionary adjustment.

***

#### Designed for Transparency

Multipliers on Picks are not promotional tools or dynamic incentives.\
They are structural components of the game, designed to reflect difficulty in a transparent and predictable way.

Risk and reward are always visible.\
Nothing is implied.\
Nothing changes after execution.

Difficulty tiers allow users to adjust risk within a lineup.\
