Instructions on How to Participate in a Battle

Let's start with the fact that in the Battles app, there are 2 types of events:
- Battles themselves;
- Votings.

Let's begin with definitions:
Battle - is a mini-game based on users' skills to predict the outcome of an event, created by users of the Battles platform.

Votings - is also a mini-game based on users' opinions to predict an outcome, created by users of the Battles platform. However, in Votings, the answer is automatically selected a few minutes after it ends.

Votings are displayed in the same feed as Battles.

Here's the difference between Battles and Voting:
Voting: Voting events do not include a commission for the creator, unlike Battles.
In Voting, the correct result is automatically determined a few minutes after the voting ends.
The winning option is the one that received the most votes from participants.
Voting does not display individual votes or FNZ pools for each option.
Only the total number of participants and the total FNZ amount in the Voting event are available.
Battles: In Battles, creators need to set two deadlines and manually select the correct answer.
Battles may involve a commission for the creator.

How do you actually participate in a battle?
1.Open the Battles application in Telegram
(see here https://teletype.in/@fanzee_battles_guide/enter_battles_en.)
2. In the application interface, find the button shaped like a "Funnel" and confidently press it.

3. A drop-down menu will appear.
In it, select "Only Battles," then press the "Save Changes" button.

In the same section, the following filters are available:
1. Deadline for FNZ submissions (earlier first, later first)
2. Outcome (earlier first, later first)
3. Participants (from more to fewer or vice versa from fewer to more)
4. FNZ in Battle/Voting (from more to fewer or vice versa from fewer to more)

You can use these filters to customize what you want to see in the final search results.

4. After setting the filter, proceed to selecting a category.
In the app, the following categories are available:
1. My Choice (customized based on your preferences in the Personal Account)
2. Crypto/TON
3. Sports
4. Esports
5. Economy
6. Politics
7. Pop Culture
8. Other
Choose a category, for example, Sports, and battles available for selection will be displayed.

Choose, for example, "Who will win Conn Smythe Trophy in 2024?".

You will have access to the full description of the battle, the deadline for FNZ submissions, the deadline for the battle's outcome, the answer options to the main battle question, the FNZ amount, and the number of participants who have chosen each option.

"IMPORTANT!"

Next, we choose one of the options that seems more likely to us.

We specify an FNZ amount not lower than the minimum corresponding to your belt level. My minimum amount is 250 FNZ, and I believe that Aleksander Barkov or another player wins trophy in this year, so I enter 250 FNZ in the respective field.
The "+ Battle!" button turns blue instead of gray, indicating readiness, and I click on it.

That's it! Congratulations! You have participated in the battle!

After that, you will see a screen like this in the app:

Now we wait for the result, and if we win, we collect our winnings!
