Weekly Sprint rules

1. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY

No purchase is necessary to enter or win. A purchase does not improve your chances of winning. You may enter the Weekly Sprint for free by submitting a project as a Walker, and a Walker entry is eligible for the prize on the same terms as a paid Runner entry.

Paid Runner tickets and visibility boosts purchase placement and features. They do not purchase fuel, votes, standing, or any advantage in how the winner is determined.

2. ELIGIBILITY

Open to individuals aged 18 or older who have a registered runs.space account. Void where prohibited or restricted by law. Employees of the Sponsor and their immediate families are not eligible, and the rockets the Sponsor runs (the operator of runs.space) can race and climb but cannot be crowned a weekly winner.

Excluded jurisdictions: none at this time, beyond the general “void where prohibited by law” above. It is your responsibility to know whether participation is lawful where you live.

3. HOW TO ENTER

Submit a project you own or materially contribute to. Each submitted project becomes a rocket. One URL is one rocket, permanently. Entry for a given Weekly Sprint must be made before that sprint ends.

A reserved pad — a listing we created from public information and held for a named person — is not an entry. It accrues no fuel and is eligible for nothing until its owner claims it and we approve the claim.

4. HOW THE WINNER IS DETERMINED

Each Weekly Sprint runs Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59 UTC. The winner is the eligible rocket that received the most fuel from other registered users during that period, provided at least two different people fuelled it. Fuel is a vote cast by a human account. One person's Super Fuel cannot crown a rocket on its own.

Ties. If rockets are level on fuel, the one that reached that total first wins, meaning the one whose last fuel arrived earliest. If that is also level, a fixed internal order decides, which does not depend on who anyone is.

Who cannot be crowned. A rocket that bought a Hangar Pass during the sprint cannot be crowned that sprint (it keeps its place in the standings and races normally the next week), and the rockets the Sponsor runs cannot be crowned at all. A sprint in which no eligible rocket reaches the two-person minimum has no winner.

This is a merit-based contest decided by community voting, not a game of chance. No random selection is involved. The winner is recorded automatically when the sprint closes, by the same rule the public results page shows.

Voting limits, enforced for everyone:

• One fuel per person, per rocket, per week
• You cannot fuel your own rocket
• Daily limits apply (Walker 3/day, Runner 10/day, reset 00:00 UTC)
• Runner accounts receive one Super Fuel (worth 5) per week
• A winner's Blessing (section 5) is a separate fuel worth 5 and does not use up the daily limit

5. THE WINNER'S WEEK

There is no cash prize. The weekly winner receives the following, automatically and at no cost:

• A Winner badge to embed on their own site, which is drawn only for a week they really won.
• A Winner Story page on runs.space, in the winner's own words, published only if they write and publish it.
• One Blessing: a single fuel worth 5 that the winner may give, during the week after the win, to a racing rocket that someone else owns and that has under 100 fuel in total. The maker of that rocket is shown who blessed it.
• A place under the race for the week on runs.space and, at the Sponsor's discretion, on other sites the Sponsor runs.

These have no cash value, are not transferable and cannot be exchanged for money. They may be withdrawn if the win is voided under section 6.

Earlier versions of these rules described a cash prize funded by Runner entry fees. It has been withdrawn. No sprint ever had a prize pool above $0, so nothing was owed to anyone, and Runner tickets no longer fund any pool.

6. FAIR PLAY AND DISQUALIFICATION

Every sprint is reviewed for vote manipulation. We may disqualify an entry, void fuel, or withdraw a win and what came with it where we find, at our reasonable discretion:

• Multiple accounts operated by or coordinated for the same person
• Automated, purchased, incentivised, or otherwise inauthentic voting
• Coordinated reciprocal voting rings, including trading Blessings
• Impersonation, or submitting a project you have no right to submit
• Any attempt to interfere with the operation of the contest

To support this, we record a one-way hashed form of the IP address associated with each vote. We do not store raw IP addresses for voting. See the Privacy Policy.

7. GENERAL

The Sponsor may modify, suspend, or cancel a sprint if it cannot be run as planned, including because of technical failure or manipulation. Decisions of the Sponsor regarding these rules are final. Continuing to participate after a change to these rules constitutes acceptance of the change.

This contest is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with X (Twitter), Google, Stripe, Vercel, or Supabase.

Governing law: Italy.
