The main parts of a contest are:

List

The list screen shows contests waiting to start, contests which are in progress and recently completed contests. You will only see public contests or private ones which you’ve been invited to.

View

If you select “Details” next to a contest on the “List” screen, you’ll be taken to the contest view screen.

This screen shows various pieces of information about a contest, such as the host, start time, duration. It also shows the participants who have join and their current number of level points.

As a guest to a contest, you have the option to join the contest, this will require you to pay the wager if there is one. You can also then leave the contest and have your full wager refunded. You can only join or leave a contest up to 5 minutes before it starts, after this time you will no longer be able to join or leave.

As the host of a contest, you have the option to invite a member (if the contest is private) or close the contest. You cannot invite new members or close a contest if there is less than 15 minutes until it begins. If you close the contest, your bonus prize will be refunded and all participant wagers will be refunded.
