Sprint Rules.
Phase goals, limits, activity, risk, review, and terms before payment.
The core rules are simple.
Reach the phase goal, manage risk, stay active, and avoid rule breaches. Use the details below when you need to review a specific rule.
Performance
Each phase uses the same advancement standard so results stay comparable.
Reach 8% net profit on the phase's starting balance.
The largest winning pick cannot account for more than 40% of total phase profit.
Risk limits
Risk limits protect the process and stop one oversized pick from defining the result.
The account must not breach the 4% daily drawdown limit during the phase.
The account must not breach the 8% maximum drawdown limit during the phase.
Each pick must risk at least 0.5% of the virtual balance.
Each pick can risk at most 2% of the virtual balance.
Activity requirements
The phase needs enough activity to show repeatable decision-making.
Complete at least 10 valid picks before phase review.
Each phase allows a maximum of 15 valid picks.
Spread valid picks across at least 2 separate calendar days.
Each phase must be completed within 30 calendar days.
Sprint uses a 30-day inactivity period.
Each parlay can include one pick so review stays clean and comparable.
Review and rewards
Milestone rewards depend on phase completion and reward review.
The upgrade threshold matches the phase profit target.
Once all phase objectives are met, the upgrade review is delayed by 24 hours.
Milestones progress by phase: 0.5x, 1x, 2x, and 5x the challenge fee.
Rules for a simulated sports prop firm challenge.

Standard for sports prop firm searches
The +8% goal, loss limits, and pick amount rules give structure to users comparing funded sports prop firms.
No funded sportsbook account
The rules govern a virtual balance. They do not create a funded sports betting account or betting wallet.
Review before each milestone
Every milestone depends on completing the phase, following the written brief, and passing review.

Drawdown limits
Daily and maximum drawdown caps are measured against the phase's starting balance. Breaching either limit fails the phase.
Picking days
A phase needs valid picks across separate calendar days, so passing cannot come from one short burst.
Pick amount range
Each pick must stay inside the published amount range, keeping position size comparable across users.
Consistency
The largest winning pick cannot exceed 40% of total phase profit, so one outsized result cannot carry the phase.
More than picks. A challenge worth climbing.
Our rules are built around disciplined prediction, separating systematic consistency from high-drawdown volatility.
