Open
The first Field Sponsor in a category holds it for the edition.
Our commitments to sponsors
What a name on this page means
Sponsorship of a first edition is a bet on people, not on an audience number we can prove. These are the terms we hold ourselves to in return.
32% of income goes to the purse
Prize money is the first line in the budget, published in the governance policy and audited after the championship.
Category exclusivity is real
One company per category per tier. We turn down money rather than break it.
No influence over judging
Sponsorship buys visibility, never a call, a draw or a protest outcome. Any attempt ends the agreement.
Founding credit in perpetuity
Founding-edition partners are named on this page and in the Hall of Founders for as long as the championship runs.
Honest numbers
We publish attendance, viewership and spend as measured, not as projected, within ninety days.
Open positions
Every tier is still open, including the title
One Presenting Sponsor, two Bracket, eight Lane and an open number of Field positions. Each tier is exclusive to one category — the first company in a category holds it for the edition.
