How to use the Points Per Field Feature

These features available on All Plans

Overview

The Points Per Field feature allows you to assign a point value to each form field, rewarding entrants based on how many fields they complete. These points can act as extra entries or additional chances to win. You can assign point values to any field on your form.

How It Works

Imagine a contest with four fields on your form: Email Address, Name, Age, and Photo. Entrants can choose to complete one field or all four.

You assign the following point values:

• Email Address: 8 points
• Name: 4 points
• Age: 1 point
• Photo: 7 points

Point Calculation Example

• A user who completes all four fields earns 20 points.
• A user who only submits Email Address and Name earns 12 points.

The first entrant has a better chance of winning since they provided more information and earned more points.
