Scoring System

How Points Are
Calculated

StoxPlay uses a transparent, fair scoring system based purely on real stock market performance. Here's everything you need to know.

01

Core Point Formula

The Formula
% Change × 10 = Fantasy Points
where % Change = (Close − Open) ÷ Open × 100
+1%
Stock Gain
+10 Points
0%
No Change
0 Points
-1%
Stock Loss
-10 Points
Quick Examples
Stock moves +2.5%+25 pts
Stock moves +7.8%+78 pts
Stock moves -1.2%-12 pts
Stock moves -4.6%-46 pts

No caps: There's no maximum or minimum on points. A stock gaining 10% earns 100 pts; a stock losing 5% loses 50 pts.

02

Captain & Vice-Captain Multipliers

Assign Captain and Vice-Captain roles to your best picks to multiply their fantasy points. This is your biggest strategic lever.

Strategy tip: Choose your Captain wisely — the multiplier works both ways. A 5% gaining Captain earns 100 pts, but a 5% losing one costs 100 pts.
