What is the Stox Cup?
The Stox Cup is our monthly tournament. This tournament is a fun way to increase your Ranking points and prediction strength against other players. To win real STX token prizes on the Stox Cup, you need to place in the top 150 places on our leaderboard. 

How does the Leaderboard work?
The leaderboard ranks users with the highest amount of profit generated from placing predictions. When you predict on a prediction correctly, STX are automatically converted to Ranking points in a 1:1 ratio of STX you staked (1STX=1RP). The Ranking points you win for predicting correctly contribute to your ranking on the Leaderboard. At the end of the current Stox Cup tournament, your ranking determines whether you'll be in the winning for real STX.  

What are Ranking points? Why don't I win STX tokens every time I predict correctly?
