# Challenges & Leaderboards

Community goals and competitions

Community goals and competitions

## What are Challenges?

Challenges are community goals and competitions: set sprints, budget decks, pull contests, and collective targets. Join a challenge, submit entries to contribute, and climb the leaderboard. Some challenges are individual, others are collective community goals.

## Types of challenges

* **Set sprints:** Complete a set within a time limit.
* **Budget decks:** Build a deck under a price cap.
* **Pull contests:** Best pull of a specific set or rarity.
* **Community goals:** Collective targets the whole community works toward.

## Joining a challenge

1. Go to the Challenges page to browse active challenges.
2. Open a challenge to see the rules, prize, and current entries.
3. Click Join to opt in.
4. Submit entries as instructed by the challenge type.

## Submitting entries

Depending on the challenge, you submit entries like a completed set, a deck list, or a pull post. Entries are validated against the challenge rules. Some challenges require manual opt-in before you can submit.

## Leaderboards

Each challenge with a leaderboard shows rankings at /challenges/:challengeId/leaderboard. Climb the board by submitting qualifying entries. Top performers earn community recognition and sometimes badges.
