Season rules
Scoring
Every whole $1 buys 1 base point for your country. The minimum is $1, the default maximum is $10,000, and amounts are always whole dollars. Points are added only after your payment is verified. Failed, expired and canceled payments add zero points. Refunds reverse the matching points exactly once. A country score can never go below zero.
Seasons
Standard seasons last seven days. The launch season, the Founders Cup, lasts 72 hours and every valid supporter receives a permanent Founding Supporter collectible. When a season ends, new checkouts stop immediately, the leaderboard freezes, final rankings and achievements are recorded, and the winner joins the Hall of Champions. Contributions never carry over between seasons.
Events and bonuses
There is no hidden underdog multiplier. Temporary bonus events exist only when the rules are published in advance, the event is scheduled, the server calculates the bonus, and the exact rule is locked for 30 minutes when your checkout is created and stored with your contribution.
Ways to win
World Champion (most verified points), People's Champion (most unique supporters), Biggest Comeback (most places gained), Underdog Champion, Continental Champions and Rivalry Champions. Rank ties go to whichever country reached the score first.
Captains
The supporter with the highest total verified contribution for a country during the active season is its captain. Captaincy cannot be bought as a separate fee and comes only from legitimate verified contributions.
What this is not
BIDMAP is a game of national pride. There is no wagering, no investment, no ownership and no chance to win money. Cosmetics and the Supporter Pass never add points or improve any ranking.
