How skill is
intended to decide
PrizeRun is proposed to use materially equivalent, predetermined competition conditions so the fastest verified performance wins. No entrant would be randomly selected.
Pre-launch design draft · Final NSW legal review requiredThe proposed competition standard
What skill is intended to mean in PrizeRun
Performance is intended to turn on reaction, timing, memory, movement choice, route planning and consistent execution. Practice should improve expected performance. Every official entrant would need to compete on materially equivalent predetermined course settings and the same locked game version within a competition.
Random obstacle placement, hidden variable difficulty, device-dependent timing advantage and discretionary winner selection would not be permitted in the proposed official format. If materially equivalent conditions cannot be established, the competition would need to be paused or remedied rather than treated as valid.
How a result would be checked
Under the proposed Rules, the public leaderboard would remain provisional while PrizeRun checks server timing, event order, replay or input information, course and build identifiers, impossible movement, automation indicators, account ownership and winner eligibility. A suspicious signal would not automatically establish cheating; material flags would receive consistent manual review and a reasonable response process.
See the draft verification rules and Privacy Policy.
What is proposed for an exact tie?
Tied entrants would complete a maximum of two skill-only playoff rounds on materially equivalent predetermined settings—not a draw, coin toss or earliest-entry rule. If an exact tie remained after the second round, each remaining tied entrant would receive an equivalent advertised prize. The final Schedule must disclose the playoff timing and tie-prize outcome before entry.
Why the commercial model matters
The intended model uses a prize fixed in advance. Official attempt payments do not form a jackpot or prize pool, the prize does not vary with entrant numbers, and attempts cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred or resold.
Those features are design safeguards, not a substitute for legal advice. The actual checkout, attempt-consumption, prize-funding and gameplay systems must match the published rules.
NSW and Commonwealth framework
PrizeRun's final mechanics must be reviewed against applicable law, including the Unlawful Gambling Act 1998 (NSW), the Community Gaming Act 2018 (NSW), the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) and the Australian Consumer Law.
The proposed launch eligibility is limited to people aged 18+ who are ordinarily resident and physically present in New South Wales at the required entry and play checkpoints, unless a future Competition Schedule adds another separately reviewed jurisdiction. See the draft Eligibility Policy.
