Listed, not drawn
Everyone else
Nothing is below the cut. Every company that has paid for a spot is drawn on the board right now, so this is a list of nobody — which is the state it is meant to be in.

01 — The mechanic
Why a company is listed but not drawn
A company past the cut loses nothing but the square. Its total stands, its rank is real, and its profile page stays online at its own address — which is where every link to that company already points.
That is arithmetic rather than judgement. The board has 502 spots, so once more companies are listed than that, the smallest spot comes here. It is how everyone past the cut keeps a rank, a listing and a link instead of getting nothing for their money.
Nor is it permanent. Rank follows total contribution, so the cut moves every time anyone pays, in both directions.

What it takes to be on the board
- Companies listed
- 16
- Drawn on the board
- 16
- Listed here
- 0
- Total that gets you drawn
- $1
The board is not full. There are spots nobody has bought, so the minimum of $1 is enough to be drawn today, and everything above it buys area rather than entry.
To add to a listing that already exists, open its own profile page and pay again. Everything here is keyed to the domain, so the amount stacks onto the listing you have; it never creates a second one. A company that is not listed at all starts from the board itself.
