Group prizes

Group prizes are awarded to the members of the top-ranking group on a group leaderboard, rather than to individual participants.

When to use group prizes

Group prizes work well for:

• Corporate competitions where departments or teams compete
• Franchise networks where regional offices are pitted against each other
• Any competition where you want to incentivise collective performance

A group prize creates team dynamics: members encourage each other to tip, because their individual performance affects the group’s standing.

Setting up group prizes

1. Go to Admin → Groups → [Group] → Prizes (or Admin → Competitions → [Competition] → Prizes → Group prizes)
2. Click Add group prize
3. Set:
   • Ranking basis: how groups are ranked (average score, total score, or % of members who tipped)
   • Prize position: which rank wins (1st place group, top 3 groups, etc.)
   • Prize name and description
4. Save

Ranking methods

Method	Description	Best for
Average score (recommended)	Group’s average points per member	Groups of different sizes
Total score	Sum of all group members’ points	Groups of equal size
Participation rate	% of group members who tipped each round	Driving submission rate

Average score is recommended when groups have different sizes. It prevents large groups from having an inherent advantage.

Announcing group winners

When the competition ends, Fanzava identifies the winning group and can:

• Send a congratulations email to all members of the winning group
• Post an announcement on the Banter Board
• Show a banner on the competition results page

Configure in Admin → Competitions → [Competition] → Prizes → Group prizes → Announcement settings.

Note

Group prizes and individual prizes are independent. A participant can win both an individual prize (for their personal leaderboard position) and a group prize (for their group’s collective performance) simultaneously.
