Step 5: Tournament/Competition rewards

Step 5, Rewards lets you trigger rewards for players, based on their leaderboard rank. Rewards can only be created within a Contest. Setting a Reward is optional, and you can create multiple rewards in a Contest. 

To create a Reward, click Add and fill out the rewards information, as in the screenshot example. 

To create a Reward that will be issued to a player, you need to fill in the Name and Description, which they will see when they receive the reward. Enter information like Rank, Value, Expires in, etc. to configure the Reward.
