How FounderDuel works

A duel is a head-to-head challenge around a goal — for example “Get 100 new signups” or “Ship 3 launches.” You and your opponent both work toward the goal; whoever hits it first (and proves it) wins.

A 1v1 duel is between exactly two people. A group duel can include up to 10 participants competing for the same goal.

Go to Create and fill in a title, an optional description, and your goal. Pick a goal category (Users, Revenue, Launches, Downloads, or Custom), optionally set a numeric target and a deadline, then create. You earn XP just for starting a duel.

Open (public) duels appear on the Explore page, where anyone can join until it’s full. For a 1v1 duel you can instead make it private and share the invite link directly — only people with the link can join.

A 1v1 duel becomes active as soon as the second person joins. A group duel starts when it fills up, or when the creator starts it manually once enough people have joined.

Submit proof on the duel page. Proof can be a screenshot (image upload), a link, or a short text note. Submitting proof earns a little XP, too.

Uploaded proof files are private. Only the participants and the creator of that duel can open them — they’re not public.

When you’ve hit the goal, press Claim win. Your opponent then has 48 hours to dispute it. If no one disputes within that window, the claim is automatically accepted and you win. (We send the opponent a reminder if the window is running out.)

Any other participant can dispute a claim before the 48-hour timer runs out. A dispute pauses the auto-accept. The duel creator then resolves it and decides who the winner is.

Yes — the creator can cancel a duel any time before it’s completed. Cancelled duels don’t affect anyone’s win/loss record.

• Create a duel — +50 XP
• Join a duel — +50 XP
• Submit proof — +25 XP
• Win a duel — +200 XP
• Lose a duel — +25 XP (showing up still counts)
• Win streak bonus — +50 XP per win once you’re on a roll

Your level is based on total XP, and each level costs a little more than the last — level n requires (n − 1)² × 100 XP. So you reach level 2 at 100 XP, level 3 at 400 XP, level 4 at 900 XP, and so on. You level up automatically as you earn XP.

A streak counts your consecutive wins. The more you win in a row, the better — and you get a bonus XP reward for keeping it going. A loss resets your current streak to zero, but your best streak is remembered for the leaderboard.
