Rules
Short version: you can buy your way into the arena, and you can buy more duels. You cannot buy a rank.
On a board where rank is bid for, the top spot belongs to whoever paid the most, and it tells you nothing about what is listed. Here money buys airtime and nothing else, which is the only reason the order is worth reading.
How ranking works
- Every product starts at 1200 Elo.
- Each duel is one vote between two products of similar rating. The winner takes points from the loser.
- Beating a higher-rated product is worth more than beating a lower-rated one. Losing to a much stronger product costs you very little.
- New entries move faster: ratings settle within a few dozen duels instead of grinding.
- Under 10 duels a rating shows as provisional. It is not a real placement yet.
What money does
- $5 adds your product to the arena with 25 duels.
- Boost packs ($9, $29, $79) buy more appearances, so more people judge you sooner.
- A boost is neutral about outcomes. If voters keep picking the other product, a boost makes you fall faster.
- Out of credits, you keep competing, just at the normal rate.
Keeping votes honest
- Ratings are hidden until you pick, so nobody is voting for whoever is already winning.
- Every matchup is served with a signed, single-use token. A vote that does not match a matchup this site handed out is rejected.
- Voting is rate-limited per visitor.
- The rating math runs in the database, so no request can set its own score.
Removal
Anything illegal, deceptive, or NSFW gets removed without a refund. Otherwise entries are permanent, including the ones at the bottom.
