A full alpha call write-up isn’t necessary pre-trade, but should be made within 1 hour of the initial trade call being posted. * Coin trades are allowed, as long as they are called in the champions channel before trading * No whitelist mints are allowed. Any trades called must be able to be made by any wallet ### Disqualifications Any champions league competitor who commits one of the following infractions will be immediately disqualified from the season, forfeiting all prizes and being relegated to the Premier League: * Making a trade before calling it in the #champions-league channel * Minting a whitelist/allow-list/pre-sale mint that isn't available for all other competitors. * Exceptions: * Public raffle mint (must post about the raffle in the #champions-league channel prior to raffle closure) * WL earned from holding a certain NFT (e.g. if you buy an OOF pass after calling it, you can use that to mint an OOF drop pre-sale) - NO PERSONAL WALLET TRANSFERS * Using an auto-bid bot/tool that's not available for use by all competitors. If you buy a tool with the league wallet, you must call it beforehand in the league channel like any other trade. ### Bannable Offenses Competitors who commit one of the following offenses are subject to forfeiture of all prizes and expulsion from any future league participation. * Transferring ETH/NFTs/any other tokens to your league wallet from any other wallet, including your personal wallets. e.g. buying your own listing from your personal wallet, "airdropping" yourself NFTs, having a friend send you tokens, etc. * If you receive an airdrop, you are not allowed to sell it, unless you previously called it in the #champions-league channel as a benefit of a previous mint/purchase. * Using a friend/personal wallet to purchase your league wallet listings. Foul play of this kind will not be tolerated, and will result in a complete ban on any rewards or any future league participation. ## Questions/Feedback For any questions or suggestions: DM DTK or Than, or open a ticket in the Hive Discord - \ \ We may have some ideas for season 2 that involve teams :eyes: --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
