Monday Night Madness FAQ

Event basics

What is Monday Night Madness?

Monday Night Madness is a season of 13 weekly, one-hour Splinterlands Anytime tournaments. Players compete for prizes in each weekly event and earn points towards the final season leaderboard.

There is no separate final event. The season ends after the thirteenth weekly tournament, and the final leaderboard determines the season prize winners.

When does Season One take place?

Season One runs for 13 consecutive Mondays, beginning on 17 August 2026 and ending on 9 November 2026.

Every tournament starts at 19:30 UTC.

Who can enter?

Monday Night Madness is open to all Splinterlands players, regardless of their rating or current league.

How much does it cost to enter?

Entry costs 50 DEC for each weekly tournament.

How do I enter?

Register for the relevant tournament through the Splinterlands website. Registration closes automatically at the deadline displayed on that tournament's page.

No separate check-in is required.

Can I join after the season has started?

Yes. Players may join at any point during the 13-week season by registering for an available weekly tournament. Points earned from that point onwards will count towards their season total.

Can I enter using more than one account?

No. Monday Night Madness operates a strict one-account-per-person rule.

Tournament format

What format is used?

Every tournament uses the Modern Silver format. ~~Players compete using their own collections.

Owned, rented and delegated cards may be used, provided they are eligible for the Modern Silver format.~~

This event is now a Ghost Card event.

How does each weekly tournament work?

Each event consists of one round lasting one hour. The Splinterlands platform places players into groups of up to eight, and each player may face every other player in their group once. This produces a maximum of seven matches per player.

Matches must be completed within the one-hour tournament window.

Must I complete every assigned match to earn points?

No. A player who completes only some of their matches can still earn leaderboard points based on their final published placement. However, failing to play a match puts the player at a competitive disadvantage and may result in their opponent receiving the win under the standard Splinterlands tournament rules.

What happens if I register but do not play any matches?

A player who completes no matches receives zero leaderboard points for that week. Their 50 DEC entry fee is not refunded.

How many players are required for an event to go ahead?

A weekly tournament requires at least four registered players.

Once an event begins with at least four registered players, it remains valid even if one or more players do not complete any matches.

What happens if a tournament is cancelled?

If a weekly tournament is cancelled, entry fees will be refunded and no leaderboard points will be awarded for that week.

Weekly points and prizes

How are leaderboard points awarded?

Points are awarded according to each player's final published placement:

Weekly finish	Season points
1st	12
2nd	9
3rd-4th	7
5th-8th	4
9th-16th	2
Any other valid finish	1

A player receives only the points for their applicable finishing band. The bands are not cumulative within a single event.

Do all 13 results count?

Yes. Points earned across all 13 weekly tournaments count towards the final leaderboard. There are no dropped scores or best-result limits.

What are the weekly prizes?

The same prize schedule applies to all 13 weekly tournaments:

Weekly finish	Prize
1st	Escalation Pack + 962 DEC
2nd	Foundation Pack + 481 DEC
3rd	288 DEC
4th	192 DEC

When are weekly prizes delivered?

Results are subject to a 24-hour review period. Weekly prizes are delivered to the Splinterlands account used to enter the tournament, normally within 48 hours after the review period closes.

Final leaderboard

How is the final leaderboard decided?

Each player's points from all 13 weekly tournaments are added together. After the Week 13 review period closes, the final standings determine the season prize winners.

Weekly wins do not automatically guarantee a leaderboard prize. Consistent results throughout the season contribute to a player's final position.

What are the final leaderboard prizes?

The top eight leaderboard positions share a guaranteed 45,000 DEC prize pool:

Final position	Prize
1st	18,000 DEC
2nd	9,000 DEC
3rd	5,400 DEC
4th	3,375 DEC
5th	2,813 DEC
6th	2,475 DEC
7th	2,250 DEC
8th	1,687 DEC

What happens if players finish level on points?

Players who finish on the same number of season points share equally the combined prize money assigned to the leaderboard positions affected by their tie.

For example, if two players tie for second place, the second- and third-place prizes are combined. The players share 14,400 DEC equally and receive 7,200 DEC each.

If a tie crosses the eighth-place prize boundary, all players in that tie share the remaining affected prize money equally. For example, two players tied for eighth share the 1,687 DEC eighth-place prize and receive 843.5 DEC each.

When are the final leaderboard prizes delivered?

The final standings are subject to the same 24-hour review period. Leaderboard prizes will be delivered within 48 hours after that review period closes.

Where can I view the leaderboard?

The live leaderboard is available at the Phoenix Reborn Series HQ.

Updated standings will also be published every Tuesday on PeakD and X.

Broadcasts, support and rules

Do I have to watch the broadcast?

No. Watching PhoenixRebornTV's broadcast is optional and does not affect tournament entry or leaderboard points. Watching is recommended, however, because additional giveaways may be offered during broadcasts.

What happens if I disconnect or Splinterlands has a technical problem?

The standard Splinterlands tournament rules and information apply to disconnections, unfinished matches, platform outages and other technical issues.

How do I dispute a match result or report a problem?
