Is there a limit to the amount of my action I can make available to backers?

Action is sold in 1% increments. Players can sell any amount of their action between 1% and 100%

How do you calculate the total purchase amount when staking the action of a player?

First, you would have to calculate the Total Buy-in as follows:
Buy-in + Fee + Bounty (if applicable) = Total Buy-in
Then you would input the Total Buy-in into the following formula as follows:
(Total Buy-in / 100) * Markup * Share % = Total Purchase Amount of Stake
For example:
Total Buy-in = $23.75 Buy-in + $1.25 Fee = $25
Markup = 1.4
Let's say you bought 10% out of 45% of a particular player's shares.

Then the calculation will be as follows:

Total Purchase Amount of Stake = (25 / 100) * 1.4 * 10 = $3.50

Can I watch the tournaments unfold that my backed players compete in?

Yes, players can spectate any public table.

How do I buy player action?

Check the tournament lobby to see which players are selling their action. Players looking to buy action can also check the performance records of other players by viewing their staking profile before they purchase any action.
