# Tournaments

Tournaments in **Taitiko ARENA** are your gateway to big prizes and exclusive digital rewards — all with a low entry cost. Compete in time-limited events, climb the leaderboards, and win valuable rewards like Honor, Chips, and unique digital assets.

### How It Works&#x20;

In the **Tournaments** section of the Arena, you'll find a list of all active and upcoming tournaments. Each tournament displays key details such as:

* Start time
* Duration
* End time
* Game being played
* Entry fee
* Maximum number of participants
* Entry currency (Honor or Chips)

### How to Enter

You can join a tournament using either **Honor** or **Chips**, depending on what's allowed for that event. Just pay the entry fee, and you’re in! You can register **before** the tournament begins or **while** it’s still running.

* **Late entries are allowed** — you can join right up until the last minute.
* From all your games, only your **best score will count**.
* The score is considered first, and then the time. In case of a tie, the player with the lower time will win.
* **Rebuy limit (if applicable)** — some tournaments allow you to rebuy a limited number of times if you're not happy with your performance. The number of allowed rebuys will be clearly displayed.
* If you enter during the final minute, you'll have **one extra minute** to hit **Play** and start your game.
* Once the tournament ends, we allow an **additional 15 minutes** for all ongoing matches to finish.

> ⚠️ If you don’t play before the tournament ends, your score will be set to 0 and your time will be registered as the maximum allowed.

### Rewards

Rewards are distributed shortly after the tournament ends — once the 15-minute grace period is over. Prizes include in-game currencies and sometimes rare or limited-edition digital collectibles.

_\*Rebuys do not count toward the prize pool._
