**The Teams Leaderboard will be the first iteration of a gameplay feature designed to engage players in creating chess teams that compete on a specific leaderboard, where the accrued points result from multiple team efforts.

Although the main driver in gaining points will be the game of chess, we want to reward team-promotion activities such as social communication and player growth through referrals.

As a closed feature alpha, selected players will have the opportunity to compete on the first iteration of the Team Leaderboard and help us define the rules and the rewards to start growing a healthy team ecosystem and develop further iterations on a teamplay that is engaging, fun, and rewarding for all of the Immortal Game community.**

THE TEAMS

Each team will consist of a team leader and up to 9 teammates and could be captained by a notable Ambassador or community figure. Each player will contribute differently to rank their team on a specific team leaderboard hosted off-platform to test and iterate on this mechanic in a separate environment.

Team creation

Candidate team leaders can sign up on a dedicated web form (currently available in Google Forms version). To have the best feedback on this first iteration of the feature, we have selected Ambassadors, sponsors, and community figures as team leaders based on their motivation, projects, and history with Immortal Game.

THE CHALLENGES

Leaderboard point gain will be based on the following metrics. Please be aware that all the challenges and tasks mentioned below are tentative, and the scope of this alpha will be to understand how to best tweak the existing rules and which new challenges we should implement based on your feedback.

The Team Leaderboard and the challenges will be updated every week, and rewards will also be allocated weekly to each team, according to player and team ranking on the leaderboard.

Please be aware that all the challenges mentioned below are tentative, and we are counting on your feedback during this closed Alpha to improve the existing challenges and add new ones.

1) Leaderboard Performance

2) Activity

Every team will also receive points according to specific actions on social networks aimed at promoting the team, onboarding new players, and spreading the word about Immortal Game initiatives.
