Official Rules

1 · Format

32 authors, single-elimination. Runs alongside the football World Cup knockouts — the Buzzberg Call Cup final lands Fri Jul 17, two days before the World Cup final.

By default, every author plays their Callfolio: a 10-ticker basket of their most-mentioned directional calls. Authors can also swap any or all 10 tickers during each transfer window before the next round.

At round's end, Buzzberg scores both Callfolios by round return — higher return advances.

2 · Roster Lock & Seeding

The leaderboard updates daily, so the field stays open until Friday. At Friday's close, the top 32 authors lock in as the Call Cup bracket.

Seeding runs by rank: #1 vs #32, #2 vs #31 … #16 vs #17.

3 · Transfer Windows

Want to change your squad? Post your next-round lineup and tag @buzzberg_ai, or DM us. Swap one, several, or all 10.

Otherwise, your current Callfolio rolls over automatically.
