The first Main Match is...

Fruit Stand.



This is the Main Match used in Season 3, Episode 1. In Fruit Stand, you will be cooperating and competing with others to sell fruit for the biggest bargain in an attempt to get the most money.


Fruit Stand will be played in four rounds. Each round will last a total of 20 minutes.



At the start of the game, each player will be randomly assigned two fruits that they will sell throughout the game. There will be four instances of players selling Bananas, Tangerines, and Grapes. Five players will be selling Pineapples and Watermelons. Six players will be selling Cherries.



In each round, you will offer up a price for each of your fruits. You can offer a minimum of one dollar, and a maximum of five dollars.



Each player will offer up prices for their two fruits at the end of each round. In the event that someone has two of the same fruits, they will offer a single price point.



After each round ends, the offers for each fruit will be publicly revealed, and players will make money depending on who offered the lowest price point.



In the event that a single player offers the lowest price, they alone will take all of the fruits and sell them for the price point offered, making all the money.



In the events that multiple players offered the lowest price, they will split the money between themselves.



This means that, in the event that each player offers five dollars, every player individually will earn that much as they sell their own fruit.



In addition, each player has the option to use a single powerup - either Secret or Change.



When using a Secret, you can make the results of a single fruit completely anonymous. This means that the players won’t know what it was offered for, nor who made the money. Secrets can be used when offering prices at the end of each round.



A Change allows you to change one of your fruits to another fruit. You can do this at any time during any of the rounds, with any of your fruits, by informing the dealer. When you change, the information will be posted publicly in announcements, making everyone aware of the swap.



At the end of the game, the player who earned the most money throughout the four rounds will be crowned the winner, and earn two Tokens of Life. In the event of a tie, each tied player will receive one Token of Life. The losing player will be whoever has the least money. In the event of a losing tie, the winner(s) of the Main Match will select one to be the sole candidate.



In addition, you will gain one garnet if you earned $35 or more. You will gain two if you made $45 or more.



The scrimmage Main Match is…


Fruit Stand.



In Fruit Stand, players will be attempting to sell fruit for the highest price possible, cooperating (or competing against) those selling the same fruit.


Fruit Stand will be played throughout two rounds. Each round will last a total of 25 minutes.



At the start of the game, each player will be randomly assigned three fruits that they will sell throughout this game.



There will be six instances of grapes being sold. There will be five instances of apples, pears, and lemons being sold. There will be four instances of blueberries, strawberries, and tangerines being sold. And there will be only three instances of tomatoes, avocadoes, and chili peppers being sold. It is possible for a player to have multiple instances of the same fruit.



In each round, players will offer up a price for each of their fruits. They can offer a minimum of one dollar, and a maximum of five dollars. Each player will offer up prices for all of their fruits, separately, at the end of each round. In the event that someone has multiple of the same fruit, they will offer a single price point for said fruit.



After each round ends, the offers for each fruit will be publicly revealed, and players will make money depending on who offered the lowest price point. In the event that a single player offered the lowest price, they alone will take all of the fruits and sell them for the point offered, making all the money.



In the event that multiple players offer the lowest price, they will split the product and the money between themselves. This means that, if each player offers five dollars, every player will individually earn five dollars.



In addition, each player has the option to use a Change powerup throughout this game. This will allow a player to change any one of their fruits to another one. They may do this during any of the rounds by informing a dealer. When a player makes a change, the information will be posted publicly in announcements, making everyone aware of the swap.



At the end of the game, the player who earned the most money throughout the two rounds will be crowned the winner. Additionally, all fourteen players will earn one garnet as a reward for completing the scrimmage match.
