Rules

One opening cue, one rolling last-7-days window, and one prize: this week's opening slot.

1. Currency. Whole US dollars only.
2. Minimum. First paid bid on a listing in a week is $5.
3. Rank = bid. Sort paid bids in the rolling last 7 days descending. #1 is the opening slot.
4. Ties. Same bid amount: the listing placed first keeps the higher rank.
5. Raise = difference. If a listing is at $40 and the founder bids $55, the original payer is charged $15, not $55. The public bid becomes $55.
6. Below #1 is allowed. A $5 bid still lists, at the rank that amount buys.
7. Same listing inside seven days. A raise updates the current listing instead of creating a duplicate. A founder who paid Sunday can still raise on Monday while that placement is active. After seven days, the same pitch requires a new full bid.
8. Rolling window. Paid bids expire seven days after placement. The board does not reset for everyone at Monday midnight, and it remains empty when no active paid bids exist.
9. No retract. A paid bid is not refundable because someone else raised.

You cannot buy the show. The remaining pitch slots, hosting, multiweek pinning, and hiding other listings are not for sale.

A bid becomes current only after a successful payment. Unpaid checkout sessions do not change rank.
