Inside Outcome

Three surfaces and one connective economy. The collegiate program organizes the competition; 1v1 Showdown is the match format that powers it; Solo Live Markets keeps solo streamers in the mix. Read what each does, how a session actually plays out, and how the wallet ties everything together.

Format 01 · The competition

Collegiate Esports Program

Organized 1v1 competition for college players. Brackets, conference play, cross-school challenges, and a live broadcast for every match — with markets that follow the action from the first round to the final call.

What it is

The Collegiate Esports Program is where the competition lives. College players enter as themselves — under their school affiliation and their handle — and get matched into brackets organized around the competitive titles you already play.

Every match is a 1v1 Showdown. Every match is broadcast live. Every match has a market that follows the round-by-round action. Standings, seasons, and cross-school results roll up into a program view fans can follow all semester.

How a season plays out

  1. Register as a college player. Verify your school affiliation once; you're then eligible for the program's brackets.
  2. Enter open brackets. Weekly ladders, conference nights, cross-school challenges — whatever's on the calendar.
  3. Matches get paired and go live. The matchmaker seeds you against your opponent; the companion streams your PC into the broadcast.
  4. Fans follow and predict. Every round is a live market. Fans watching from their phones call the moments as they happen.
  5. Results roll into standings. Individual wins, school points, season standings — the program keeps score.

Who it's for

Players in accredited colleges and universities. Fans and alumni can watch, follow schools, and engage with markets without being in the program.

Format 02 · The match

1v1 Showdown

The match format under every competition. Two players, one outcome. Matchmaker pairs them, the match goes live, and fans call the winner before the timer runs out.

What it is

A Showdown pits two players against each other in a head-to-head match. It's the atomic unit that every competition on Outcome is built from — collegiate program brackets, open ladders, and private invites all resolve into 1v1 Showdown matches.

Showdowns range from short fighting-game sets to longer competitive-shooter ladders to bespoke player-versus-player challenges. Whatever the format, the structure is the same: two sides, one winner, a window for fans to call it.

How a Showdown plays out

  1. Match is matched. The two players are paired — through the collegiate matchmaker, an open bracket, or a direct challenge — and a Showdown is announced.
  2. Pre-match window opens. Markets go live. Fans see both sides, recent form, and current standings.
  3. Match goes live. The companion streams each player's PC into the iOS broadcast.
  4. Markets move with the action. Round-by-round formats settle on individual rounds; best-of-N formats settle on the overall result.
  5. Settlement. Once the match ends, markets settle automatically and results land in fans' portfolios.

Where to find it

Showdowns surface in the Live feed when a match is going up, and under Showdowns in the iOS app. Past matches and your call history live in Portfolio.

Format 03 · The solo surface

Solo Live Markets

For players streaming outside the bracket. Go live solo, and fans watching from their phones get markets built around what you're doing — survive the round, finish the run, beat the personal best.

What it is

Where 1v1 Showdown is about who wins, Solo Live is about what happens next. Markets are built around the moments in a stream — winning the round, hitting a milestone, surviving a stretch, finishing a challenge.

The streamer goes live with the companion bridging their PC to Outcome. Fans watching from their iPhone see live markets alongside the stream and call them in real time. Solo Live is open to any paired player, competitive or otherwise.

How a Solo Live session plays out

  1. Player goes live. The companion pairs with their iPhone and streams into Outcome.
  2. Markets generate from stream context. What game is being played, what mode, what the streamer is going for.
  3. Fans call them in-stream. Tap a market on your phone while watching — no friction, no app switching.
  4. Settlement happens as moments resolve. Round won, run finished, milestone hit. Markets close, results post.

Where to find it

Solo Live sessions surface in the home feed when creators you follow go live, and in Live across the rest of the platform. Your own creator dashboard lives in Dashboard once you've paired the companion.

Economy

Wallet & diamonds

Diamonds are the in-app currency that power participation across every match and every stream. A wallet ties them to your account and lets you manage them on your own terms.

Diamonds — the in-app currency

Diamonds are how participation works inside Outcome. Earn them through activity in the app and through events; spend them inside markets, on gifts to players, and on profile customization.

Diamonds are the everyday unit of activity. You don't need to think about them as anything more than a balance — they show up in your wallet header and move with you across every match, bracket, and solo stream.

Send a tip, support a player

When you're in a live broadcast — Showdown or Solo Live — diamonds let you send gifts to the players you're watching. Gifts show up live in the stream and on the player's dashboard. It's the simplest way to back the school, the player, or the creator you're following.

Bring your own wallet

For users who want to manage their balance outside the app, Outcome supports connecting an existing wallet. Link it once — you choose when and how to interact with it. If you only want to use Outcome inside the app, you never have to think about the wallet at all.

Wallet connection is optional. Most fans will never need it. It's there for users who want it.

Where to find it

Your wallet lives in Wallet in the iOS app. The diamond balance is visible from any market or live screen. Gifting surfaces inside the live stream itself.

Quick questions

Feature-specific FAQ

Five fast answers about the formats above. The full FAQ lives at /faq.

Do I have to be in college to play?
The collegiate program is scoped to accredited-college players. Anyone can watch, follow schools, and engage with markets. Any paired player — student or not — can also go live with Solo Live Markets outside the program.
What's the difference between the collegiate program and a 1v1 Showdown?
The collegiate program is the organized league — brackets, conferences, seasons, standings. A 1v1 Showdown is the match format that powers every entry in the program. You can think of Showdowns as the atom; the program is the calendar and structure that groups them.
How are markets settled?
Settlement happens automatically once the underlying event resolves — a round ends, a match finishes, a milestone is hit. For collegiate matches, the official bracket result is the source of truth. Edge cases route to manual review and are disclosed when they happen.
Do I need a crypto wallet to use Outcome?
No. The wallet is optional. Most fans will use the app without ever connecting one. Wallet connection is for users who specifically want to manage their balance outside the app.
Can I tip or gift players?
Yes, with diamonds, while you're watching a live match or stream. Gifts show up live for the player and on their dashboard.
