How to create a contest
Go to Contests > New.
Add a contest title, description (optional) and choose the contest type. Click Continue.
Choose a contest theme and click Continue.
Select a contest formula. This will be the KPI your contest will get measured by.
(Optional) Add a contest target. You can add either type in a target value or use another formula as the target.
Add your Players or Teams. For Teams, you can either choose existing teams or create custom teams. You can also choose custom targets. Click Continue.
Set the contest duration. Choose the Start and End dates and time.
If there's no end date, the contest will end as soon as the first player or team has reached the target.
If no target is added, the end date is mandatory.
If both the target and end date are added, the contest will be active until the time runs out, and all participants can outperform the targets.
Add the prizes. There can be up to 10 winners, and you can award either a custom prize or Plecto coins that can later be redeemed in the Reward Store. Click Continue.
Decide if you want to show the countdown clock and prize on the contest screen.
Once ready, click Create contest.
How to add contests to a slideshow
If you want to see your contests on TVs just like dashboards, you need to add them to a slideshow.
Go to Slideshows and create new or open an existing contest.
Click Add contest slide and select your contest.
(Optional) Drag the sides to adjust the slide's timeline or choose a custom slide duration (in seconds).
Click Save to finish.
