# Community Contests

### Overview

We’re excited to introduce **Trading Contests** to **Crommunities**, giving community managers a powerful way to **engage traders and reward participation**. With a brand-new UI and an innovative **Rolling Average Approach**, these contests encourage consistent trading activity while preventing last-minute manipulation.

### Key Features

#### ✅ **Easy Contest Creation**

* Community managers can **set start & end dates**, **define prizes**, and more.
* **Creating a contest is free**, and community managers are responsible for distributing rewards once the contest ends.

#### 📊 **Enhanced UI & Leaderboards**

* **Global & daily leaderboards** to track top traders.
* **Granular reporting tools** help managers monitor contest performance.
* **CSV export** available for contest reports.

#### 🎯 **Rolling Average Scoring System**

Unlike traditional ranking methods that only count total volume, our **Rolling Average Approach** ensures a **fair and balanced competition**:

**How It Works**

1. **Daily Points Calculation** – Each day, traders earn points based on their **buy/sell activity**.
2. **Average Calculation** – A trader’s total points are divided by the number of days in the contest.
3. **Ranking** – Traders are ranked based on their **daily average score**, not just total points.
4. **Zero-Activity Days Impact** – Days with no activity **count as zero points**, lowering the overall score.

**Benefits of Rolling Average Ranking**

* **Rewards Consistency** – Encourages traders to stay active throughout the contest.
* **More Fair Than Daily Caps** – No arbitrary limits; traders can have exceptional days while still needing steady participation.
* **Harder to Game** – Last-minute traders can’t suddenly overtake active participants.
* **Smooths Out Market Volatility** – Balances out fluctuations in trading activity.

#### 🚀 **Boosted Points for Buys**

* **Buys receive a 30% point boost**, making contests more engaging and incentivizing **long-term holding**.
