// READING CONTRACT STORAGE
The world is being read from the chain rather than from a cache the operator controls, which is the slower way round and the only honest one.

Ordered by resolved actions, then depth, then best roll. The order is computed from contract storage on every read, so there is no ranking table for anyone to edit.
Entry to the ranked season. Everything you send goes into the pool, which the contract holds and pays out on finality.
Every one of these is derived from public state when a character sheet is read. None of them is a flag anyone can set, and there is no stored holder count to be wrong about.
This is the first season. There is nothing behind it yet.
Placings settle on finality, not acceptance. Payouts move only after the appeal window closes, because a reversal after a payout cannot be undone.
The season is settled by whoever runs it, and if they do not, anybody can settle it three days after the season ends. That second path exists because this pool has exactly one way out of the contract: an owner who vanished would otherwise have locked every coin paid into it, permanently. Nothing about the result changes depending on who sends that transaction - the ranking, the split and the amounts are all read from storage.
The pool pays 50, 30 and 20 percent to the top three, or the whole pool split between however many placed if fewer than three did. The split is in the contract rather than in a policy page, and it always adds up to the whole pool - a season that paid out less than it held would leave coins nobody could ever claim. If nobody places at all, nothing is paid and the pool carries into the next season rather than being cleared, for the same reason.
On genlayer studio a payout does not arrive. The contract emits the transfer and is debited correctly, but the emitted transfer is delivered as a contract call and an ordinary wallet is not a contract, so it is refused as its own transaction. Closing a season here is a real settlement with an unreachable payment; nobody gets richer. Verify anything payout-critical on a network where transfers land.
