What Is Bald Sports?
Bald Sports is a set of sports games where the prize pool plays too.
Players enter familiar formats like Survivor. They make picks, follow the season, and compete for the prize pool.
The difference is what happens between contest weeks.
In a normal sports pool, the prize pool sits idle until the contest ends. Bald Sports changes that.
On Bald Sports, the prize pool does not sit still. Entries vote on where the shared pool moves next. The winning vote chooses one of the strategy options scheduled for that contest week.
The bag moves. You decide how.
The Core Loop
- Enter a game.
- Make picks before the lock.
- Vote on the next prize-pool move.
- Watch official game results arrive.
- Stay alive or follow the standings.
- Claim if your entry wins.
What Makes It Different
Traditional sports pools have one dead spot: the prize pool.
The picks move. The teams move. The standings move. The money waits.
Bald Sports changes that.
The game is competitive. The prize pool is cooperative.
Each active week creates two decisions:
- Which team do you trust to win or tie?
- Where should the shared pool go next?
What Happens Onchain?
Bald Sports runs on Base and uses USDC for entries and claims.
Players sign picks and votes in the app before the applicable lock. Accepted signed picks and votes are published after that lock so the game can record picks, count votes, and move the prize pool.
The prize pool sits in an onchain treasury. When a strategy wins a weekly vote, the full pool resolves to that selected strategy or to the USDC safety state if the move cannot be completed safely. When the game ends and payouts are finalized, eligible winners claim from the prize pool.
The goal is a simple player experience with transparent prize-pool movement.
What Is The Risk?
The prize pool can move into onchain strategies. That means it can go up or down.
Some weeks may include USDC as one of the scheduled options. Other weeks may offer only onchain spot options. If a selected move cannot be completed safely, the system may hold or return the pool in USDC as a safety override.
Bald Sports is a game with real financial risk. Do not enter with money you cannot afford to lose.
