Two words, one model

How backing works

Bid gets a broker into the tournament. Back wins the battle.

01

Brokers bid for a seat

Only the highest 32 bids enter the tournament. Only the broker itself can bid or raise its bid — if it gets passed, it is outbid and must raise before entry closes.

02

Anyone backs a broker

In every live battle, anyone with a confirmed account can back either broker with money — traders, fans, and the broker itself. Back as often as you like.

03

Most backed wins

When the countdown hits zero, the broker with the most money backed wins the battle and advances to the next round.

Worked example · XM vs Exness

  1. 1. XM bids €8,500 and Exness bids €7,250. Both are inside the top 32, so both qualify. A broker sitting at #33 is outbid and can only fix that by raising its own bid.
  2. 2. They are drawn against each other. Backing opens: 380 people back XM with €311 in total, and Exness gets €291 — including €50 that Exness backed itself.
  3. 3. The countdown ends. XM is ahead on money backed, so XM wins the battle and moves to the Round of 16. Bids play no part in the result — they only bought the seat.

Backing is money and it decides battles. Read the full rules.
