Matchmaking, Strategic Gameplay and Retirement

How does matchmaking work?

Matchmaking is done in rounds where each horse completes one race per round. Horses are matched into races based on their MM leaderboard ranking, in descending (last horses scheduled first) order. After each round, horses move up or down the leaderboard, determining the matchups for the next round.

The Matchmaking leaderboard ranks all horses in the racing pool based on points. Each horse starts with 1000 points and gains or loses points depending on their race finish positions. Points are awarded from first to eighth place.

Leaderboard-based matchmaking in each round ensures the best horses compete with the best – and a pathway exists to rise up the ranks.

What is the matchmaking leaderboard?

Matchmaking is done in rounds where each horse completes one race per round. Horses are matched into races based on their MM leaderboard ranking, with the lowest 8 horses in race 1, the next 8 in race 2, and so on. After each round, horses move up or down the leaderboard, determining the matchups for the next round.

Strategic Gameplay

While the racing loop will be automated, ZEDx is still a game of skill. If you love your deep data dives, there are still plenty of pre-race decisions around augment choice and balance analysis horse owners can make that will inform the trajectory for your horse.

Racehorse Retirement

You can retire your racehorse strategically after maximising its potential or it will automatically get retired if the balance drops too low.
