<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A Sumdog competition lets your students compete with each other while playing Sumdog's games. Competitions can be based on effort - how many questions are answered - as well as proficiency, so they don't have to be elitist. As the competition runs, you can check your students' progress live, and - if you wish - show them a leaderboard.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #cc6611; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Sumdog challenges
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A challenge is a specific goal for your students, together with a dealine for achieving it: for example, "get 100 questions right", or "win 10 Sumdog games". You can set up several challenges at once - even creating different ones for students in the same class. == <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #d65600; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 20px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Create a competition == <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To create a competition, go to the Dashboard and click "Create a competition or a challenge". You can also navigate to a class page by clicking the class name anywhere in the teacher portal. From here, you can view and edit information on current activities, as well as creating new ones. When creating a competition, you can customise student settings such as:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Name and message to students
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How they will participate (in teams or as individuals)
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How the results will be calculated
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What games and topics they will play
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How the leaderboard is displayed

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">You can then choose which students you want to assign the competition to. Throughout the teacher portal, competitions are identified with an award icon.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Unlike competitions, challenges are effort-based activities which students participate in singly. To create a challenge, go to the Dashboard and click "Create a competition or a challenge". You can also navigate to a class page by clicking the class name anywhere in the teacher portal. From here, you can view and edit information on current activities, as well as creating new ones. When creating a challenge, you can customise student settings such as:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Name and message to students

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #404041; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">You can then choose which students you want to assign the challenge to. Throughout the teacher portal, challenges are identified with a clock icon.
