Event ranking is a way to win additional rewards in the event. You take part in the event leaderboard as soon as you have made any progress towards the Grand Prize. The event ranking can be accessed directly in the event window, through the ranking button:
Use the button to enter the ranking. The event ranking is split into 5 leagues: Hobby, Amateur, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. You will be placed in one of them, depending on the number of Event Progress (total obtained progress points towards the Grand Prize, across the entire event). In the example below, the player is placed in the Hobby league:
⚠ The number of progress points required to be placed in a given league increases over the course of the event. As players make more and more progress over the course of the event, the required points will increase, so you can be relegated to a lower league if you don't keep up. The Hobby league requires only 1 progress point.
Depending on your league at the end of the event, you will receive the rewards assigned to the league you end up in.
