# A sales contest rules template for the nine formats

A sales contest rules template names the format, who can enter, and the logged metric the score reads. Knockdesk is field sales software with nine formats on Compete. Eligibility can require finished onboarding. Onboarding does not block knocks. No email is required.

## How to fill the sales contest rules template

Write one row for the format you will actually run. Territory War stays with admins. A sales manager can start the other eight. Onboarding does not block knocks, even when eligibility requires finished onboarding for the game.

1. Pick one format. Do not call every game a Sprint.
2. Say who can start it. Territory War is admin only.
3. Say whether eligibility requires finished onboarding. That rule is for the game, not a lock on the door.
4. Name a metric already logged. Do not prize a knock that was not at the door.
5. Save a draft, then make it live. A draft stays off the field.

## Eligibility is not a lock on the knock

A sales contest rules template can require finished onboarding before someone is on the board. That person can still knock. Onboarding does not block knocks.

**The game.** Eligibility can require finished onboarding. Head to head stays invite only.

**The door.** Onboarding does not block knocks. The crew can still work the turf.

**Unverified knocks.** A knock not at the door is unverified. Do not make that the metric you prize.

## The board reads the metric you named

Compete ranks the format you saved. Territory War stays with admins. Full desk is on the pricing page. A free trial is not open.
