# Season Structure

Each Season lasts approximately 5–6 months. At the end of every season, *EtherForge* distributes an Airdrop Reward Pool based on:

* Player Rank
* Total Battle Volume
* Win Rate & Activity Score

## Ranking System (**ELO** Tiers)

|       Rank      | ELO Range |
| :-------------: | :-------: |
|    **Bronze**   |   0–999   |
|    **Silver**   | 1000–1499 |
|     **Gold**    | 1500–1999 |
|   **Platinum**  | 2000–2499 |
|   **Diamond**   | 2500–2999 |
|    **Master**   | 3000–3499 |
| **Grandmaster** | 3500–3999 |
|    **Mythic**   |   4000+   |

## ELO Score Adjustment

When two players of similar **ELO** face off, their points gained or lost are based on rank:
