# Seasons & Leaderboards

Seasons are 10-day recurring events that track in-game actions and award points to Players. Points are equivalent to raffle tickets—at the end of each Season, prizes are drawn and distributed to winners, the points are reset, and a new Season begins.

The Leaderboard page tracks these points and provide information on the current Season.

## Earning points / tickets

Points are earned by completing in-game actions.

### Points for making [Games](/gameplay/games.md)

* Earn `0.5` points for every 3 hour game created
* Earn `1.0` point for every 6 hour game created
* Earn `2.0` points for every 12 hour game created
* Earn `4.0` points for every 24 hour game created

Essentially, 0.5 points per 3 hours spent making games. We will refer to this ratio if the game length options ever change.

The Best Game of the Day in both the Solo and Small [Reward Pools](/economics/game-rewards/reward-pools.md) will earn `5.0` points towards the Season Leaderboard.

### Points for completing [Research and Development](/gameplay/research-and-development.md)

* Earn `0.5` points for researching Mark 1 technology
* Earn `1.0` point for researching Mark 2 technology
* Earn `2.0` points for researching Mark 3 or above technology

### Points for [Training](/gameplay/training.md)

Earn `0.5` points per Training session.

### Points for "Best Game of the Day"

Every day one game is selected as the Best  of the Day for each [Project Categories](/gameplay/games/project-categories.md). The "Best of the Day" award is worth `5.0` points.

### Points for referring users

You earn `10.0` points if someone joins Rise of the Pixels using your referral code AND purchases a [Game Dev Studio](/gameplay/game-dev-studio.md) License.

## Prizing

Prizes will vary from Season to Season. Typically, some kind of NFT, openable pack, and/or $PXL tokens can be expected as prizes.

**Winners are unique:** once a name is drawn it is removed from the raffle.
