Playing a match
The draft
In a Standard room, the two players build the card they will play before anyone calls a direction. Each side chooses markets, and one wildcard is drawn that neither player controls.
Who picks what
| Format | Host picks | Challenger picks | Wildcard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best of 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Best of 5 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
The split matters. You get to steer the match onto markets you know, your opponent gets the same, and the wildcard stops either of you from building a card only you can read.
Sprint rooms skip it
A Sprint has nothing to draft. Every round is the next 1-minute BTC candle, so once both players are ready the match goes straight to its first round.
