# Raiding competitions

> Admins start a timed leaderboard on the influencer feed with fixed templates or a hashtag.

Competitions score members who raid **influencer-feed tweets** (not TikTok/Instagram/Reddit target raids). The feed must be **on**.

## Start (admins)

```
/startcomp 7 days
```

Also accepted: `1d 7h`, `2 days 5 hours 10 minutes`. **Minimum 30 minutes. Maximum 5 days** (free) or **30 days** ([All-Access](https://raid.stormbots.io/docs/all-access.md)).

Delay of the influencer feed must be **shorter** than the competition length.

The bot needs **admin + delete messages**.

Then pick a mode:

* **Flexible** — members must include a **#hashtag** or **\$cashtag** you set; other copy can vary.
* **Fixed** — replies must match your [templates](https://raid.stormbots.io/docs/features/influencer-raids.md). Set templates first.

Optional prize text (any token name you type, for display only — the bot does not pay out).

The start message is pinned and updates with a short board. `/leaderboard` for the full list. `/endcomp` to stop early.

## How members score

See [How to participate](https://raid.stormbots.io/docs/features/competitions-join.md). Admins can review tweets. Auto-check uses the linked X account, template/hashtag rules, and the reply URL posted in the group.
