Hidden credit number

In some gameplay competitions there is a hidden credit number. This will be clearly stated in the competiton details. In this case, a special prize is handed out to the user in the competition who's credits gained in the competition are closest to the hidden number. The hidden credits number will always be between one (1) and the maximum number of credits available in the competition game when the competition started. For example: A competition is held in Civ 5. There are at the start of the competition 12870 credits available in that game. A random number between 1 and 12870 is selected (using www.random.org). Let's say that number is 1341. The player who comes closest to 1341 during the competition wins the prize.

In case of a tie, the winner is the one with the lowest recorded game time from first to last achievement.

Achievement multipliers

In some gameplay competitions the credit value for achievements are multiplied during the competition. The multiplying factor is clearly stated in the competiton details. Note that the extra credits are handed out after the competition when the results have been verified.
