### Why Add Leaderboard Points?

- **Boost Engagement**: Leaderboard points incentivize participants to engage more actively with your event, increasing overall interaction.
- **Gamification**: Adding points introduces an element of gamification, making the event more fun and motivating for attendees.
- **Healthy Competition**: It encourages friendly competition among participants, driving them to explore more activities and make the most out of your event.

### Tips for Managing Leaderboard Points:

- **Set Clear Criteria**: Make sure the actions that earn points are clear to your participants. This will motivate them to participate actively and understand how to earn points.
- **Balance the Points**: Avoid overwhelming participants by assigning too many points for simple actions. Try to balance the points so they reward meaningful participation while maintaining a fair competition.
- **Monitor the Leaderboard**: Regularly check the leaderboard to ensure everything is running smoothly, and that points are being assigned correctly.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to easily add leaderboard points and foster a more interactive, competitive environment for your event. This small addition can have a big impact on attendee participation, making your event more engaging and fun.
