This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. How S-C-O-Rs, Invitational, Event Changing Gaming Airdrops and What It Means for Players, by Ashan Pondy. Score is rolling out the score invitational on August 29th, 2025. It is a pre-token event that asks players to commit the gems they have earned inside Scorestelegram mini-app. The new score center is the place where players convert GEMSTO dollar score at token generation, climb weekly leaderboards and earn multipliers that apply at TGE. This changes an airdrop from a one-day claim into a multi-week competition. Access starts in Telegram at at score underscore games underscore bot app, which is where

score already runs its games and tasks. The flow is simple. Keep a three-day streak, connect eight on wallet, invite a friend and clear score milestones in the sports mini-games. Once eligible, you decide whether to lock gems early for weekly boosts or hold. gems to keep pushing scores, then commit later. Tom M-I-Z-O-N-E, CEO of Sweet, explains, greater than, the score invitational takes airdrops beyond passive giveaways and turns them greater than into an active competition. By committing gems now, early players have the greater than opportunity

to secure larger allocations of dollar score at T-G-E, while the score greater than center establishes the destination for ongoing conversion and rewards. Air drops in gaming, from passive claim to competitive gaming. The Airdrop Playbook in gaming has been clear for a year. Telegram mini apps scale fast, then convert points to tokens at or after TGE. Notcoin turned tap torrent points into an exchange listed token after months of simple play inside Telegram. Hamster Combat showed how daily streaks, referral loops, and quick tasks can drive huge funnels. Wired reported Hamster Combat crossing 300 million players which shows the scale that mini apps can reach when the loop is simple and the reward story is clear. Score uses the same rails with a sports arcade layer and a

conversion system that rewards early locks and weekly rank. The Invitational pushes this pattern towards season-based play. Instead of a form that tallies past actions, the game turns conversion itself into a competition. In practice, that means players weigh short-term leaderboard boosts against long-term power-ups from more play. It also means viewers can follow a clear narrative of who is leading and why, which is closer to how sports seasons work than how most airdrops have worked so far. The games that feed the invitational SCOR's catalog is built for quick sessions that fit a telegram chat. SkySlam-e-a basketball-themed arcade jumper that rolled out in May. Flappy racquet-de-launched during Wimbledon with winners alliance and features licensed

tennis talent. Sixer Smash is aimed at cricket fans and carries the same gem to token loop. These titles already track scores, streaks and referrals, which is why a leaderboard-based conversion model is a natural next step for score. For newcomers, the idea is straightforward. You play short sports games to earn gems, you keep daily streaks, you invite friends, and you connect a wallet. At token generation, gems map to dollar score. The Invitational adds a strategic choice. Lock now for boosts or keep playing to improve your position before committing. Why Telegram mini apps matter for game distribution. Telegram mini apps do not need a separate install. They live inside chats that people already open many times a day. This is why Tun-based mini apps have become a mainstream on

ramp for crypto-style game economies. Notcoin started in late 2023 as a Telegram mini app and later converted tap balances into a live token. Projects across Tun now use similar mechanics, which lowers the friction for first time players who do not want to set up seed phrases on day one. S-C-O-R's choice of a telegram mini-ab is in line with that distribution logic. The official entry point is at score underscore games underscore bot app and the invitational lives inside that same flow, which keeps onboarding short and focuses attention on streaks, scores, and conversion decisions without asking players to switch apps. Tokenomics, what to watch. Score describes a community first split for tokens tied to on platform purchases. One-third routes to a public community rewards

wallet for achievements and engagement. One-third is burned, which removes tokens from circulation totight and supply. One-third funds platform growth. Burns and reward pools are common in-game tokens, but they only build trust if the addresses and flows a revisible on-chain and if the team publishes regular reports that players can verify. What to watch after TGE, a public burn address, a public-reward wallet, a published vesting schedule, and periodic distribution reports. Those led competitive players and casual players check whether the leaderboard and the conversion multipliers actually map to the allocations that land in wallets. How this might change gaming airdrops, from static snapshot to live season, traditional airdrops often reward early beta tasks and referrals,

then end with a claim page. Score makes conversion itself a game with a scoreboard and weekly boosts. That creates watchable arcs and repeatable engagement, which other mini-app games can adapt for their own themes. From volume only to volume plus skill, tap to earn systems reward raw time Andre Farrell networks, a leaderboard that sits on top of skill-based mini-games adds a performance factor. That can make allocations feel more like a ranked season, which aligns with how many gamers already think about ladders and tiers. From dumps to retention if the loop is right, Many airdrop economies see selling pressure at launch. If SCOR's reward wallet, burn policy, and weekly boosts keep players in the loop after TGE,

there is a chance to retain users rather than watch them exit. That will depend on the quality of post-TGEE challenges and on how visible the on-chain flows are. Final outlook, turning airdrops into a season is the right move for gaming. Players understand ladders, streaks, and end-of-season multipliers. SCOR's invitational fits that mental model. and gives casual fans a clear path to compete with short sports games that already run inside telegram. The test will be on transparency and pacing. If score publishes the burn address, the rewards wallet, and a simple conversion formula, the competitive layer will feel fair. If new challenges

and licensed sports content keep the loop fresh after TGE, the system can avoid the common post-airdrop drop off. The idea e-sound and the channel is proven. Execution at TGE and the weeks that follow will decide whether this becomes a template that other gaming teams adopt. Don't forget to like and share the story.
