Created Competition

A created Competition is always put in the Ready state sub menu that you can find in the CompetitionLabs platform as shown in the example below.

What can you do with a created Competition?

Navigate to Competitions → Ready and press on the created Competitions Id. Inspecting the competition shows you information about the competition.

1. Competition state
  • Ready –  a competition has not started yet. When a contest is created in a Ready competition the time of the contest start and end dates are identical to the competition.
  • Active – a competition is live and running. A competition can be Active even without a contest inside.
  • Cancelled – a cancelled competition is almost the same as delete – all our information is archived so a cancelled state has also its own field and folder.
  • Finished – when a competition ran for its duration and it finished successfully.
2. Competition manual state change active action buttons
It is possible to manually Start or Cancel a competition.
  • Start – a competition can be started before the auto start time. So the container duration extends for example if a competition has to start 12:00 and and at 13:00 and you manually started it 11:45 that means the competition will run from 11:45 to 13:00 (competition duration 1 hour 15 minutes)
  • Cancel – a competition can be canceled at any state.
When a competition is Cancelled it cannot become Ready, Active or Finished
3. Contest preview screen
It is a list of rounds and contests in it. You can preview all the contests that are created.
4. Entrants preview screen

5. Translations preview screen
Within translations you can see the details that were translated within the competition.
6. Metadata preview screen

7. Competition leaderboard

8. Contest creation action button
