The Grand Stand is a seasonal ranked competition based on verified leaderboard performance. Only eligible leaderboard records achieved during the active season period will be considered for rewards.

At the conclusion of each season, the top three eligible players will receive a percentage of Eligible Net Revenue generated by DEATH STANDING during that season's revenue period.

• 1st place: 5% of Eligible Net Revenue
• 2nd place: 3% of Eligible Net Revenue
• 3rd place: 2% of Eligible Net Revenue

Eligible Net Revenue means the revenue actually received by the developer from Steam sales after Steam platform fees, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, payment processing adjustments, currency conversion adjustments, and any other required deductions.

Only records achieved in the official Calmmaxxing Mode — Singleplayer leaderboard are eligible for The Grand Stand consideration. Records achieved through other modes, unofficial versions, modifications, or external tools are not eligible.

To qualify for season rewards, players must finish within the top 200 positions of the official leaderboard at the end of the season. Players outside the top 200 will not be considered for revenue-share rewards.

Any record submitted for The Grand Stand consideration must be accompanied by a continuous, unedited recording of the complete attempt from start to finish. The recording must clearly demonstrate:

• The game running in an unmodified state
• The complete leaderboard-record attempt, including the final result
• The player's hand physically touching the mouse throughout the attempt
• The use of a physical mouse as the input device (touchpads, simulated mouse inputs, or other alternative input methods are not permitted)
• No use of unauthorized software, automation, macros, scripts, or external assistance

The recording must show the game window and the player's hand/mouse interaction at the same time. The camera angle must allow verification that the player's physical contact with the mouse is maintained for the duration of the attempt. Recordings with missing footage, cuts, edits, or unclear mouse interaction may be rejected.

Players have seven (7) days after the official end of a season to submit verification materials for their qualifying record. Failure to submit required verification within this period may result in the record being excluded from reward consideration.

Players must compete using legitimate gameplay methods. The following may result in disqualification:

• Automation, macros, scripts, bots, or artificial input methods
• Modified game files or unauthorized software
• Leaderboard manipulation or fraudulent submissions
• Misrepresentation of another player's performance

Revenue-share payments will be calculated after the developer receives the applicable Steam revenue payout for the relevant season period. Payments will generally be issued within ninety (90) days after the developer receives the applicable Steam payout, subject to verification, payment processing, legal requirements, and collection of required tax information. The developer reserves the right to delay payment while investigating eligibility, disputes, suspected fraud, or violations of these rules.

The developer reserves the right to review records, request additional verification, disqualify invalid submissions, correct leaderboard errors, and modify competition rules for future seasons. Participation in the The Grand Stand does not create an employment relationship, partnership, agency relationship, or ownership interest in the game or its revenue.

Rules may be updated between seasons. The rules applicable to a season are the rules published at the start of that season unless otherwise required for fairness, security, or legal reasons.
