-----------------------------------

#### Brawls:
* Team is currently working on SPS rewards for Brawls
    * Backend code is complete, remaining focus is on the UI elements
    * SPS Brawl rewards will be given out as Staked SPS, not liquid (like Ranked rewards)
    * There will be a fixed amount of SPS available for each Brawl Tier
        * There will be a total of 2.5M SPS/month
        * This amount will be split out between the five tiers
        * On average, there are about 6 brawl cycles per month
    * Empty tiers will not have any SPS rewarded 
        * Currently Tiers 4 & 5 have zero guilds participating in them

-----------------------------------

#### SPS Governance Proposals:
* First version of SPS Governance Proposals goes live tomorrow!
    * Only the Splinterland team will be able to make Governance Proposals starting off
    * Anyone that has SPS staked will be able to vote on every proposal
    * The amount of staked SPS you have determines the weight of your vote
    * This allows the community to help make decisions rather than only the Splinterlands company
* Future iterations will allow community members to create proposals as well
* Example proposals:
    * Brawl Fray changes (less Gold foil frays, higher level frays, etc...)
    * More or less rewards for certain tournaments?

## <center> ⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️ </center>

#### SPS Ranked Rewards:
* Leaderboard rewards will be SPS, not DEC
* SPS rewards will be given out in staked SPS
    * This concept was adopted by HIVE
    * SPS Staking is going to be critical in earning rewards so earning staked SPS will be a good start to prepare for that
* SPS rewards will be gauged by how much SPS you have staked in the near-future
    * Before this can be released, the team wants to get SPS Delegations out first

-----------------------------------

#### Training Grounds:
* Team has always wanted a Training Grounds that lets players customize Challenges/Practice Mode
* Players could pick specific rule sets and mana caps
* Could probably allow Ghost Card formats as well so new players can practice with cards before knowing what to buy/rent

-----------------------------------

#### Jacek - CL Fire Legendary Summoner Airdrop:
* Currently selling around 10k CL packs per day
    * Only around 291k packs left before the Jacek airdrop

-----------------------------------

#### Riftwatchers:
* Presale will last until the limited amount of packs are purchased
* Plan seems to be still only 3M total RW packs
* Official information should all be announced in the RW whitepaper
* Aggy thinks at least 20% of the RW packs will require vouchers
* There are multiple new abilities being introduced with the Riftwatchers set

-----------------------------------

#### SPL Arcade - Tower Defense Game:
* Towers will be separate NFTs in the game
    * However, you may be able to stake SPL cards on the towers to power them up
