All live traders auto-enrolled
If Mayospell ever launches Arena, eligibility and opt-out rules should be explicit; no live-seat auto-enrollment exists today.
Arena
Arena is a planned simulated leaderboard, not a live-capital contest.
The research format combines monthly rankings, published bonus tiers, trade-quality review, and event-risk context. It remains a planned surface and is not part of the current paid program.
Monthly Net PnL only
The leaderboard ignores old balance and focuses on the new month's performance. That keeps the race fresh without erasing the underlying live account.
Alias and opt-out support
Alias and opt-out controls should protect privacy if public ranking is ever introduced.
Risk team still rules
Competition never suspends real desk discipline. DLL, Risk Lock-In, and live review still outrank leaderboard ambition.
Competition snapshot
Mayospell gives the live leaderboard a specific, reviewable shape.
The Arena plan combines monthly rankings, published bonus tiers, and options-quality review so the live layer stays motivating without becoming reckless.
Mayospell live-competition snapshot: July 6, 2026. Planned Arena concept only. Mayospell does not currently operate live brokerage accounts, monthly competition awards, or a public live leaderboard.

Bonus tiers
The top 100 payout map should be public before a trader ever reaches live.
That turns the live layer into something a trader can imagine wanting, not just a vague upgrade badge.

Monthly flow
01
Month opens
Every live seat starts the ranking month at a virtual $0 while the actual live balance remains untouched underneath.
02
Live month unfolds
Leaderboard updates in real time off monthly Net PnL while Risk Lock-In, DLL expansion, and reserve rules still operate in parallel.
03
Month closes
Only net-positive traders can collect a bonus, and the final ranking decides which payout tier actually lands.
04
Bonus lands next month
Any future award would need a documented settlement process; Mayospell does not currently add Arena bonuses to live balances.
Guardrails
The arena should add energy without turning live into reckless content bait.
This is where the options version has to stay serious.
A smaller account should be able to place well when process quality is strong; size should not be presented as a guarantee.
Tie handling, awards, and eligibility would need a written Mayospell policy before Arena opens.
Opt-out should stay available for live traders who do not want public ranking pressure or community visibility.
Arena status should never change reserve unlock math, DLL expansion, or live oversight; it sits on top of live, not above it.
