Can a User Appear in the Same Leaderboard With Multiple Entries?
Overview
Yes, it is possible for a user to appear in the same leaderboard multiple times using different entries. This scenario may occur when users submit multiple entries that end up in the same leaderboard category. Below, we outline key considerations and tips to avoid unintentionally competing against yourself.
Guidelines to Avoid Competing Entries
Space Out Entry Submissions To reduce the possibility of appearing in the leaderboard with different entries, you can stagger the times at which you place your entries. This helps to naturally distribute your submissions across groups or leaderboards.
Vary the Number of Picks Adjusting the number of picks for each of your entries is another effective way to avoid overlap. By submitting entries with different configurations, you can decrease the likelihood of them being placed in the same leaderboard.
Actions to Take
If you find multiple entries you’ve submitted appearing together in the same leaderboard, rest assured that all entries will still be evaluated fairly, and payout calculations remain unaffected. However, you can adopt the above practices for better participation strategies in future submissions.
