The players' gameplay performance is captured and analyzed, and coaches can view this data to identify areas that need improvement, manage and balance their lineups, and create scouting reports that will control the players' interaction in the game.

Can I WIN more than once?

1. In each Challenge, you can only win one prize. If you finish in more than one place that wins a prize, you will receive the highest level prize. 2. You cannot win a prize in CONSECUTIVE challenges. So if you won a prize in a challenge, you cannot win a prize in the following posted Challenge.

Is it possible to WIN if my name doesn't end up within the top of the leaderboard?

YES! It is possible that one player could hold multiple positions on the leaderboard (ex. Player 'A' holds 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 10th place), but they will only win with their highest place. SO, even if your place is lower than the stated winners (ex. you are in 7th place but prizes are for top 3), you could possibly still be a Winner if you are in the top # of UNIQUE players in the contest! So don't stop working up the board just because you see high scores that are hard to beat!
