Tournament Format Mechanics
Strategic Alliances Among Formal Competitors
In a Life Capital tournament, each 6-person team disperses across separate tables. At every single table, six teenage strangers — representing rival schools and regions — must negotiate, form joint investment syndicates, and trade capital assets.
The table is won by the player who builds the fastest alliances and still keeps their own liquidity intact.
Every table is presided over by a certified Master Trainer and an official Central Banker, ensuring complete adherence to simulation invariants and accurate portfolio audits.
Players and clubs in Europe
The European stages
The European stages are run by the Ukrainian rights holder of the methodology — the NGO Business Club Partner, Kharkiv. An enquiry from Europe is passed to that network with your city, your language and the number of players in it.
Both routes are open to anyone reading a Canadian schedule from Europe.
