The tutorial is designed to help players master the mechanics of the game and is always available for players to access during the challenge. - #MOVEMORE Free Play Mode:
Players can practice Easy and Medium levels across all fighting styles a maximum of twenty times (twenty play credits). Once the twenty Free Play credits have been used up, Free Play mode will lock, and players will only have access to the Tutorial and Challenge modes. - #MOVEMORE Challenge mode:
Players have a maximum of twelve credits (they can play twelve times) to obtain the highest score in each fighting style within Challenge mode.
FIGHTING STYLES
Four fighting styles will be available in the challenge:

CHALLENGE SCORING
- Using Credits
Competitors can use all of their credits in one sitting, or they may wish to strategically play game-by-game and see how the leaderboards evolve across the duration of the challenge.
Unused credits will be lost on the last day of the tournament.
- Challenge scoring
Players with the highest in-game score for each fighting style will be awarded a total of 100 tournament points.
Every other participant will be awarded tournament points according to their score as a percentage of the highest score of each fighting style.
Example:
– A leader in Swordplay who earns 4519 in-game points will be awarded 100 tournament points.
– A player in second place who earns 3204 in-game points will be awarded 70.9 tournament points (3204 divided by the high score of 4519 and then multiplied by 100).
– And so on…
