How it works

1 · Bid

Pick your flag, put your handle on it. Highest backer holds the country’s name slot — live, clickable, seen by everyone.

2 · Climb

Every bid raises your country’s pot. Weekly top-10 chart pays championship points, F1 style.

3 · Unlock

First bid on any unclaimed country triggers a $100 house pledge to the charity fund for that flag.

4 · Win

Most points by 31 Dec takes the crown. The full charity fund goes to a registered charity serving the winning country.
