Benchmark-aware scoring, not raw return

Stopping "I bought one hot pocket of the market" from looking like skill

The benchmark-aware league should not reward passive market drift or obvious sector drift.

Each participant chooses an approved benchmark at registration. Their score is then measured against:

• the best simple directional opportunity in that benchmark over the scoring window, adjusted for their realized exposure level, and
• a passive sector-matched shadow portfolio built from their own realized sector allocation.

This is how you stop "I bought one hot pocket of the market" from looking like genuine active skill.
