FLASH

🔸 Overview

In response to the growing needs of the gaming community for flexible, user-friendly competition formats, we are thrilled to introduce FLASH our 24/7 Open Sit-and-Play On-Demand Tournament. This innovative system allows players of all levels to participate in games whenever they want, without the need to adhere to rigid schedules.

🔸 The Sit-and-Play Concept "FLASH"

The essence of our sit-and-play format lies in its simplicity and accessibility. As the name suggests, a player simply "sits" (registers) to play a game, and when the lobby is filled with a pre-determined number of participants, the game "plays" or begins automatically. These tournaments are short and sweet, typically lasting less than an hour, which makes them perfect for players looking for quick, intense gaming sessions.

🔸 Cost-Effective and User-Friendly

One of the main attractions of our FLASH tournaments is their affordability. The entry cost is kept low, ensuring that the tournament remains accessible to all gamers regardless of their budget. Furthermore, the platform is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for both novice and veteran players to sign up and participate.

🔸 24/7 Open Tournament

The FLASH tournament system operates 24/7, providing players with the freedom to play whenever they desire. There are no fixed schedules or deadlines to worry about. Instead, players can log in at any time and join a tournament that suits their preference and skill level.

🔸 Real-Time On-Demand Gaming

This tournament system revolves around real-time on-demand gaming. As soon as the required number of players has gathered in the lobby, the game begins. This eliminates the need for players to wait around for long periods before the start of a game, ensuring a seamless and efficient gaming experience.

Functionality of FLASH Protocol

The FLASH protocol facilitates decentralized gaming tournaments, utilizing blockchain technology for enhanced transparency, security, and user autonomy. It integrates the use of Ethereum (ETH), a leading blockchain-based platform, as a mode of transaction.

Here's an outline of how FLASH operates:

1. Participant Onboarding: Before the tournament commences, interested players must pay an entry fee in Ethereum (ETH). This not only ensures participation but also contributes to the prize pool. The fee acts as an ante, mirroring traditional gaming tournament structures.

2. Tournament Initialization: Once the required number of participants (or 'flash') has filled, the tournament officially begins. This is an automated process triggered by achieving the participant quota.

3. Conduct of Tournament: The tournament is conducted as per the predefined rules. Depending on the nature of the tournament, this could involve single games or a series of games leading to a final.

4. Winner Declaration and Payout: At the end of the tournament, the winners are determined according to the tournament rules. The FLASH protocol automatically triggers the payout to these winners. The blockchain contract inherent in the system autonomously transfers the ETH from the prize pool to the winners' wallets.

The entire process, from entry to payout, is facilitated by smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. These contracts automate the transactions and ensure the unbiased, tamper-proof, and prompt transfer of rewards to the winners.

By leveraging blockchain technology, FLASH eliminates the need for an intermediary, ensuring direct and fair transactions between participants. This decentralized approach empowers players and ensures a transparent and robust gaming experience.
