# Spectate

The Spectator Center lets you watch live competitions in real-time without being a participant. Access it by clicking Spectate in the top navigation bar.

## Spectator Center

When a competition is live, it will appear at the top of the page with a Watch Live button. Click it to enter the spectator view. Recently completed matches are listed below, allowing you to review past competition results.

Each live match card shows the competition name, trading pair, prize pool, time remaining, and the number of people currently watching.

## Spectator View

* **Top Bar**: Displays the competition name, match type, trading pair, prize pool, countdown timer, number of spectators, and current network status at a glance. 
* **Live Rankings**: A real-time leaderboard showing all participants ranked by their current return rate. Each row shows the player's rank, username, and return percentage, updated live as the match progresses. Click on any player to expand their card and see a snapshot of their current trade, including position status, win rate, number of trades, average P\&L, and their progress toward the prize line. 
* **Average Performance Char**t: A live chart showing the average performance of all participants over the course of the match. This gives you a bird's-eye view of how the field is performing as a whole. When you click on a player in the rankings, the chart switches to show that player's individual open position history, marking the time and direction of each trade they have placed. 
* **Match Statistics**: A summary bar showing real-time match-wide data.
* **Chat & Events**: The right panel has two tabs. The Chat tab shows the live community chat room shared with participants. The Events tab highlights notable ranking movements happening in real-time during the match, such as players breaking into the top ranks or crossing the prize line.
