Add prize bundles to the competition

After you use the Leaderboards and Tournaments Console or the Admin API to create prizes, use the Leaderboards and Tournaments Console to add prize bundles to the competition.

A prize bundle specifies the rank (or range of ranks) of the players that are eligible to win this prize bundle. The prize bundle also defines the prize or prizes that the eligible players will win.

To create a prize bundle, enter the following fields:

  • Rank From - the highest rank in the leaderboard that is eligible for this prize bundle
  • Rank To - the lowest rank in the leaderboard that is eligible
  • Bundle Title - enter a title for this prize bundle.
  • Prize Type - select In-App Prizes
  • Prizes - select one or more of the prizes from the list, and click Add Prize.
Add prizes

The Leaderboards and Tournaments Console displays a list of prize bundles below the Add Prize form. Optionally, you can add an image URL or a description for each prize bundle. These fields are included in the prize information that the Game API sends to the game.

Advanced Options

Note: Some configuration options are currently not available in the Leaderboards and Tournaments Console. For example, you need to use the Admin API to define Requirement Groups. After that, you can use the Leaderboards and Tournaments Console to filter the competition player lists using Requirement Groups.

    • Image URL: URL for an icon or image that the game will display.
    • Metadata: Additional text, such as rules or disclaimers.

Set entry and visibility requirements

Use the Admin API to create requirement lists. After that, your requirement lists will be available in the Leaderboards and Tournaments Console. Use your requirement lists to filter the players that can enter (and/or view) your competition.

This option allows you to review the leaderboard before releasing prizes.
