How Bricqs automates competitions end-to-end
Four capabilities that handle the full contest lifecycle.
Lifecycle management
The ContestLifecycleWorker automates state transitions — draft to scheduled to active to scoring to completed. Time windows, entry limits, and budget caps are enforced automatically.
Real-time scoring
ContestScoringService processes qualifying facts as they arrive. Composite scores combine points with timestamp-based tie-breaking. Redis sorted sets provide instant leaderboard queries.
Automated prize allocation
When contests end, the lifecycle worker rebuilds final scores from source events, ranks participants, and allocates prizes by tier. Budget caps prevent overspend.
Built-in fraud detection
Velocity checks per minute, hour, and day detect abnormal scoring patterns. Suspicious rank jumps trigger automatic flagging or disqualification. Budget controls cap total liability.
How contests work
Three steps from contest creation to automated prize distribution.
Design the Contest
Choose a template or build from scratch. Set scoring rules, entry requirements, time windows, and prize tiers. Five system templates cover common patterns.
Launch & Score
Publish to activate. The engine scores every qualifying action in real time — quiz answers, game scores, referrals, check-ins. Leaderboards update instantly.
Allocate Prizes
When the contest ends, the lifecycle worker finalizes scores, ranks participants, and allocates prizes by tier. Reward codes are claimed automatically.
Why teams don't rebuild this twice
Under the hood, Bricqs runs a production-grade engagement infrastructure — so you don't have to build it.

Idempotent scoring, fraud detection, and auditable prize allocation for high-stakes competitions.
Every score event, rank change, and prize allocation is logged with source fact IDs, timestamps, and rule versions — providing full dispute resolution capability.
Contest performance analytics
