§1 Match the stake each round or you are out. Round r costs 0.001 × r ETH, and the clock is 20 minutes. At the clock every seat that did not match is out, and every stake it matched splits evenly to the seats that did.

The tape

--:--Quiet. Every seat, match, fold and split prints here as it lands.

The climb

The book

§2 Seats: round 1 only. Match 0.001 ETH with 10,000 $MATCHPIT in the wallet. Sixteen seats a pit, one per wallet.

§3 The climb: 0.001, 0.002, 0.003 … one match per seat per round, before the clock.

§4 Out: at the clock, a seat that did not match is out. Its whole stake splits evenly to the seats that matched that round, credited at once.

§5 The end: one seat left, or round 20 closed, and every seat still in takes its own stakes back. Nobody matches a round: same. No cut.
