While leaderboards order the participants in a game by points, the winners functionality is a feature that allows game organizers to specify who the final winner is when there are multiple participants with the same number of points or achievements. The winners are determined by the rules of the specific game (for example a ruffle). This functionality allows you to mark the winners and describe the process of winner selection.
Consider the following example: You have a Match Quiz game with a big reward. There are 5 people with the same number of points on 1st position. According to your game rules, if this happens you are supposed to make a ruffle and announce the winner. You make the ruffle however you choose (offline, online, etc) and then announce that user X is the winner of the reward. The winners functionality allows you to do just that - announce to the world who won and how.
You can select the game winners through both our widgets or API (using a client staff token with sufficient permissions). Only game participants can be selected.
