Tournament creator sets up the tournament and the prize pool target size. Creating a tournament requires having XVION staked. Gamers have to put up a XVION prize pool (that can be delegated) effectively depositing a fixed minimum contribution or a higher one. The amount contributed will define one's pro-rata allocation shall he or she be eligible (by e.g. winning the tournament). \~85% of the total prize pool is distributed back across the winning players.
