2. get excited
3. start trading immediately
4. figure out your odds of winning are close to 0 on day 6
5. realize you wasted time and money for nothing

What pro-rata vs fixed reward means and how it affects your payout
You enter a competition, you trade, you finish in the top 3 and the prize is lower than what you expected. And you're left wondering what happened.
Usually it comes down to two words: prize structure.
There are two ways competitions distribute prizes:
1. Fixed reward means the prizes are set before anyone registers.
For example: First place gets $500, second gets $300, third gets $150. Ten people enter or ten thousand, the number on the tin is the number you get.
2. Pro-rata is when the prize pool gets divided based on how everyone performed relative to each other.
How much you walk away with depends on who else is competing. A solid run in a packed competition pays out differently than the same run in a less crowded competition.
CompRadar looks at prize structure as part of every Opportunity Score. Because the number on the banner is not the whole story.

A $500k competition with 20,000 participants, high fees, prizes in random tokens and a heavily concentrated payout structure can have lower expected value than a $25k competition with 50 participants and flat rewards.
Yet most traders only see the headline.
Imagine evaluating a token using only its market cap.
No volume.
No liquidity.
No holders.
You'd never do it.
But that's exactly how most evaluate trading competitions. Based solely on the prize pool size.
That's why we built CompRadar.
We score competitions based on factors that decide whether they are really worth entering or not:
• Number of participants
• Reward distribution
• Trading fees and costs
• Market structure
• Exchange quality
• And dozens of other variables that affect real opportunity
The goal isn't to find the biggest competition.
The goal is to find the best risk/reward trade.
Because a competition is a trade in itself.
You're committing capital, time, attention and execution effort in exchange for a chance at rewards.
And just like any other trade, some setups are better than others.

You check the chart before you enter a trade: setup, volume, structure.
Competitions deserve the same attention.

Why prize pool size alone is a bad way to pick a competition
A $500K prize pool sounds great. Until you find out 55,000 traders are competing for it and only the top 1,500 win anything.
Your odds of winning something: less than 3%.
Prize pool size is the most misleading number in trading competitions.
So here's what the prize pool doesn't tell you:
1⃣ Number of winners vs number of participants.
A smaller competition with 200 traders and 50 winners gives you a 25% shot. That's a fundamentally different bet.
2⃣ What the reward is paid in.
$450K in a native token that drops 40% after the competition ends is not $450K.
3⃣ The fine print.
KYC requirements, minimum volume thresholds, geographic restrictions. Most traders find out after the fact.
The prize pool is the headline. Everything else is the real story.
CompRadar scores all of it so you don't have to.
