GameZBoost Tournament Formats: Engaging Ways to Compete and Win

At GameZBoost, tournaments aren’t just about competing, they’re about creating fun, fair, and engaging experiences that keep players coming back for more. Our platform offers a wide range of tournament formats to suit every type of player, from competitive high-scorers to casual gamers who just want a fair chance to win.

Here’s a breakdown of the different formats available:

Eliminator Tournament (E)

  • Players compete in rounds.
  • Only the highest-scoring player in each round advances.
  • If you don’t achieve the top score when time runs out, you’re eliminated.

Playoff Tournament (PO)

  • Works like a grand finale.
  • Players qualify through earlier rounds and gain access to the playoff stage.
  • The playoff determines the main prize winner.

High Score Tournament (HS)

  • Winners are determined by leaderboard rankings.
  • In the event of a tie, the most recent highest score recorded is deemed the winner.
  • The user(s) with the highest scores when the tournament ends win prizes from the prize pool.

Random Winner Tournament (RW)

  • Every player has an equal chance of winning, regardless of score.
  • The system randomly selects a winner, making it a “fair draw.”
  • ⚠️ Note: This format may fall under Sweepstakes/Gaming Laws depending on your country. Always check local regulations before implementing.

Play Time Limit Tournament (PTL)

  • A time limit is set for each user’s playtime.
  • Ensures fairness by capping how long each player can participate.
  • Can be applied to any tournament format.

Dark Leaderboard Tournament (DL)

  • The leaderboard is hidden during gameplay.
  • Prevents players from adjusting strategies based on others’ scores.
  • Can be revealed later at a set date/time for suspense and fairness.

Progressive Prize Tournament

  • A percentage (x%) of each player’s entry fee contributes to a growing prize pot.
  • Winner takes all when the tournament ends.
