THE QUESTIONS
WE EXPECT FIRST.
Plain-language answers for entrants, agencies, partners, judges, media and the people watching.
Is VIRON League just a marketing campaign for VIRON?
No. The League can create commercial value for VIRON, but a business cannot be required to buy VIRON services to enter, score, advance or win.
Does VIRON have to build my website?
No. Websites built by other agencies, internal teams, freelancers or the business itself can compete.
How many businesses are in Season 01?
The current Season 01 architecture is 100 accepted businesses across six divisions, with 64 advancing to the elimination bracket.
What is the Founding Ten?
The first ten privately invited businesses establish the first Season 01 field. Their numbered Founding status is permanent, but it gives no score advantage.
Is there an entry fee?
The current Founding Ten concept includes complimentary Season 01 entry. The final public-entry commercial policy must be frozen before launch and cannot create pay-to-win scoring.
Can a sponsor influence results?
No. Partners can buy attention, media inventory, event presence and hospitality. They cannot buy score, advancement, votes or judge authority.
How is League Score calculated?
35% real-user blind testing, 25% technical benchmark, 25% independent expert panel and 15% verified public vote under the current methodology.
Why is the public vote only 15%?
It creates participation without allowing the business with the largest following to automatically defeat stronger evidence.
Can a VIRON client win?
Yes, if it earns the score. VIRON client status cannot add points or change treatment.
What if VIRON improves a competitor during the season?
Commercial work must be separated from competition operations. Material website changes can require a re-test under the published freeze rules.
Can agencies enter work on behalf of clients?
Only with authorization from the business and subject to the final entry policy.
What happens if votes look fraudulent?
Suspicious votes can be challenged, rejected or removed under the anti-abuse system. Serious manipulation can lead to disqualification.
Will raw scores be public?
The League intends to publish enough information for results to be credible while protecting operational security and active anti-abuse controls.
Where is Season 01 happening?
British Columbia is the launch market. A future live final is envisioned for Metro Vancouver once traction and funding justify it.
Can I become a judge?
Potential experts can express interest, but panel selection happens against the published judge standard and conflict policy.
Can I sponsor the League now?
Partner conversations can start during pre-launch, but large sponsorship asks should be backed by real Founding Ten and audience traction.
Is this legally finalized?
No. The current site is a private operating draft. Public launch requires final legal, privacy, contest/competition, media-consent and commercial review.
