Two kinds, not one
Rewards in this league are entirely symbolic: no money, no privileges, no paid placement. They are images deposited in a company's profile, awarded automatically from the round log — never handed out or taken back by hand.
They come in two kinds that differ fundamentally: podium medals are won by finishing ahead of others, while achievement badges are earned by meeting an absolute condition, even if everyone meets it.
One: podium medals
Awarded when a period closes, to the top three in each keyword separately. Ranking is by total points, not by the last standing — so a site that held the top all period beats one that surged in the final round.
Weekly championship
A week is seven full days from the league's first round — exactly 252 rounds — not a calendar Sunday.
| Rank | Medals | |
|---|---|---|
 |
First place | Finished first on points in Weekly top 10 when the period closed |
 |
Second place | Finished second on points in Weekly top 10 when the period closed |
 |
Third place | Finished third on points in Weekly top 10 when the period closed |
Monthly championship
A full calendar month in UTC.
| Rank | Medals | |
|---|---|---|
 |
First place | Finished first on points in Monthly top 10 when the period closed |
 |
Second place | Finished second on points in Monthly top 10 when the period closed |
 |
Third place | Finished third on points in Monthly top 10 when the period closed |
Each close distributes 12 medals (three places × 4 keywords). The most a single company can take in one week is 4 — one per keyword, since each keyword has only one podium.
Two: achievement badges
These have nothing to do with beating anyone. Whoever meets the condition earns it, even if ten do so on the same day. They are also the harder half: four of them require never dropping to second place, not once, for the whole period.
| Medals | Attempt | Scope | Max cards | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Dominant | A full calendar month at position one — every single round of it, never once dropping to second | Keyword | 4 |
 |
Total Domination | Champion of all four keywords in the same week, on points | League | 1 |
 |
Ruler | 252 of 252 rounds at position one — a whole week without dropping to second even once | Keyword | 4 |
 |
Century | 100 consecutive rounds at position one, unbroken | Keyword | 4 |
 |
Clean Sweep | Position one in all four keywords in the same round | League | 1 |
 |
Full Day at #1 | 36 of 36 rounds at position one — a full day without dropping to second | Keyword | 4 |
 |
Record Holder | Holds at least one all-time league record | Record type × keyword | 14 |
 |
Crowned Champion | Has won at least one weekly or monthly championship | League | 1 |
Card and counter
What repeats across keywords earns a card per keyword: a Century in two keywords is two separate achievements, not one.
What repeats across rounds earns a single card with a counter on its corner. A Clean Sweep can occur 13,140 times a year, and showing that many identical images would drown the page while saying no more than one number does.
So the card count is fixed and the achievement is not: a company can gather at most 33 badge cards however long it plays, while its counters keep climbing without a ceiling.
The totals
| Kind | Per period | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly championships | 12 | 208 |
| Monthly championships | 12 | 48 |
| Achievement badges | — | 33 cards |
Medals alone have no cumulative ceiling — they multiply with every week and every month. They are what will separate companies after a year, not the badges that everyone eventually reaches.
Shown but not deposited
Two medals appear in tables and never enter a profile: the season standings medal and the all-time top 10 medal. Both are a live position, not a title, because the season never ends and so has no moment of coronation; whoever leads today may lose the lead tomorrow.
The rule: what ends is crowned and deposited; what never ends is displayed and refreshed.
The constraint that protects credibility
A running period is never crowned. No medal and no title before the final whistle — which is why the current week or month carries a “live” marker.
The same holds for Ruler and Dominant: a site can sit at position one for 251 rounds out of 252 and lose the badge in the final round. Nothing is awarded on a trend or a forecast, only on a completed, dated event that anyone can verify from the raw data.
