Tournaments & Top Scores
Having a profile for every user allows you to organize tournaments and show top scores. It doesn’t just involve more players but also helps create newsworthy marketing events.
Receiving Scores
Any data that content can pass out of the game session (for player IDs, instance number of kills, deaths, shooting accuracy, etc.) is received by the Location Server and than transferred to the Global Server.
Here the data stored and used to calculate scores. For all players registered with a phone number or an e-mail the platform has a rating in each tournament game they participated.
Handling Scores
Admin Panel provides the Tournaments section where the manager can create a new tournament, list participating players and see active, finished and upcoming tournaments with:
- Tournament name
- Start date
- End date
- Game involved
- Rating system (Top 5 scores / Highest score / Last score)
With the Panel’s output the manager receives:
- Tournament’s Rating Page with full list of players (name & phone or email) and their scores
- Unique link to the Tournament’s rating API (with login & password provided) for website integration
- Unique link to the tournament table (Olympic system) for displaying on the screens if Finals will be held (WIP: release on 1Q 2019)
- Tournament table page for filling the table during the finals (WIP: release on 1Q 2019)
- Blacklist field for banning players from the Tournament Participation
The manager can create a new tournament for their location choosing:
- one of the tournament-ready games
- rating calculation formula (set a new one or choose one of the existing)
- tournaments data
- which types of session participated in the tournament (on-site purchased / online-booked / promo)
New tournament settings
When the tournament created the manager can see the scores in the Panel and is able to exclude (ban) any of the players.
Showing Scores
All the tournament data is stored in Global Server while Local Serves ask it via API to show top lists of players and their scores for tournament active on the location (one location can host only one tournament per each game).
The scoring data available via API or embeddable widgets, as well as it’s available in the content itself via content integration).
Thus we can show the score table and display tournament data wherever we want: on the web sites, in mobile apps or on location TV screens. Usually we show last game scores and top-scores rating.
