Prizes and payouts
A funded round with eligible entries pays its pot to one winning entry's payout address. Skipped rounds pay nothing. Payout progress is shown on the round record under Winners.
The pot
When entries close, the round's pot is reserved from the Prizepool and assigned to the selected entry. A skipped round leaves the pot in the Prizepool for a later round.
