We need to also reiterate the fact that we are playing splat goo. i do think its a good idea of putting a video of HOW to do everything on mobile version vs doing screenshots. instead of audio we could do captions.

maybe addign a contact button under the steps in case anyone has trouble. you and i can use the feedback email for a shared in box so that we can try to answer people as soon as possible. maybe if they have trouble uploading we can have an option for them to wsend to us if they are having issues. just in case.

i also added a message on the bottom of rewards becasue gamers are VERY specific on how points are counted and if there is a tie how is that handled. I also think its importatnt to see how ranking is handled based on frequency for example if someone joins the last day of the irb is there any way that person could win ?
