# Welcome to Picks

#### What Is Picks

Picks is a skill-based sports game built around player performance and fixed outcomes.\
Users express conviction by selecting **More or Less** on clearly defined player metrics and combining them into lineups.

The rules are explicit, the outcomes are objective, and the structure is known before execution.

***

#### Conviction Over Guessing

Picks is designed for players who trust research over randomness.

Every Pick is tied to:

* a single player
* a single performance metric
* a binary outcome

There is no subjective scoring and no interpretation after the event.\
If the metric is hit, it settles. If it is not, it doesn’t.

Execution decides the result.

***

#### Built Crypto-Native

Picks is designed Web3-first, not adapted later.

The system uses an onchain architecture that clearly separates:

* user balances
* active lineups
* settled rewards

This structure provides transparency around exposure and settlement at every stage.\
Wallets connect natively. Custody remains onchain.

Crypto is the foundation, not a layer on top.

***

#### Supported Sports

Picks currently supports player-based markets across major global sports, including:

* Football (Soccer)
* Basketball
* Cricket
* Tennis
* Formula 1
* MMA

Each sport is built around curated player metrics with measurable outcomes.\
Additional sports and formats will be introduced as the platform expands.

***

#### Why Picks Is Different

Picks removes unnecessary complexity and replaces it with structure.

* Fixed rules defined before execution
* Objective, data-based settlement
* No pools or head-to-head matchups
* Transparent onchain architecture

***

#### Getting Started

If you understand the sport and trust the metrics, Picks gives you a clean framework to act on that conviction.

No noise.\
No surprises.\
Just execution.
