Season Zero is a community arena with no token gate. This is an unofficial public beta; live points and any podium payout remain provisional.

Season Zero Top 50

Reading the ledger

Win 3 points, draw 1, loss 0. Only eligible, server-completed Quick Matches count. Glicko-2 remains the skill signal for fair pairing; it does not decide podium order. Live standings stay provisional until identity and fair-play review finish. Exact ties share a rank and equally split combined affected prize positions; Arena IDs never break a sporting tie.

TOURNAMENT HALL PROTOCOL

Real players first.

01
Identify
Lock one username and receive a permanent Arena ID for your signed-in Arena account.
02
Pair
The mutual rating band widens with wait time; neither player is pulled outside their own band.
03
Play
Legal moves, clocks and the final result are recorded by the server.

Season Zero scoring and the organizer-funded prize commitment are announced for public beta. One signed-in account is not one-human proof, and no site can guarantee that an external chess engine was not used. Every point and podium place remains provisional; payout certification stays locked until age, residence, identity and fair-play review and the fixed private appeal process have closed.

FLORKE Arena is an unofficial, community-made experiment. It is not an official chess federation, token issuer, or StonkFun service.

TOURNAMENT PROTOCOL // 2026

One snapshot.
Then verification.

The live ladder remains provisional until the announced snapshot. Results are not final at the instant the clock reaches zero: the integrity review and published appeal window come first.

Rated scoring is active only inside the published window. Podium order: total points, then more wins, then fewer counted games, then the earlier completed final counted result. Glicko-2 rating is used for matchmaking only. The same pair can contribute at most 2 Quick Matches in a rolling 24-hour window.

01
Claim a FLORKE ID
Choose one immutable handle and receive a permanent, non-sequential FLK number shared by every connected FLORKE game.
02
Play Quick Match
Rated scoring opens 05 August 2026, 20:00 UTC. Only eligible, server-completed automatic pairings inside the window add competition points; Glicko-2 updates separately as a matchmaking skill signal.
03
Freeze the snapshot
Only Quick Matches completed before 20:00 UTC enter the snapshot. New rated searches close at the deadline; private tables remain unranked.
04
Review before results
Preliminary review runs through 04 September, the private appeal window closes 08 September, and final results publish by 11 September — all at 20:00 UTC.

ORGANIZER-FUNDED PRIZE COMMITMENT1st 5 SOL · 2nd 3 SOL · 3rd 1 SOL

Total: 9 SOL, stated by the community organizer as personally funded and not held in escrow. The advertised SOL amounts will not be reduced. Live points are provisional. Age, lawful-residence, identity and fair-play verification and the fixed appeal window must close before organizer certification. Unique certified places receive 5/3/1 SOL; exact podium ties equally split the combined affected positions. Final results publish by 11 September 2026, 20:00 UTC; certified payouts are due by 18 September 2026, 20:00 UTC. No purchase, token ownership, wallet connection, follow, repost or referral is required to play.

OTHER WAYS TO PLAY

Invite a friend or share one screen.

Open a private board and share its code. Invite results never change rating or standings, so arranged tables cannot farm the ladder.
