These rules define how duel outcomes are determined on the platform and what standards must be followed by both admins and users.
For a duel to be correctly resolved, it must contain:
When creating a duel, users can choose whether it will be resolved by the Duel Duck or by the creator (self-resolve).
If platform resolve is selected the admin reviews duel question, deadline, source of truth and resolves the duel by selecting Yes / No based on duel original conditions.
Platform-resolved duels are typically resolved within up to 48 hours after the outcome is determinable (deadline reached or event outcome is known).
If self resolve is selected, the creator must follow the same rules as the admin.
The creator undertakes to:
⚠️ Self resolve does not give freedom to interpret the result arbitrarily. The same core rule applies: every duel is resolved strictly based on its original conditions and the provided source of truth.
If a self-resolve duel is not resolved by the creator within 30 days after the deadline, the admin will resolve it based on the available source of truth.
Self-resolved duels may be reported by participants and reviewed by admins strictly against the original conditions and the provided source of truth. Any confirmed incorrect resolution will result in penalties.
Each duel can only be counted as a single violation, even if multiple reports are submitted for the same case.
Users who lose access to self-resolve must first restore their reputation to regain the ability to create self-resolved duels again.
If a user creates a self-resolve duel but loses access to self-resolve before the duel is resolved (or before the deadline), such a duel will be automatically refunded.
