Competition structure affects player engagement through tournament formats, game schedules, and team dynamics. Different structures, like round-robin or knockout formats, impact how frequently teams play and the stakes involved in each match. Frequent, meaningful competition fosters a higher level of engagement and motivation among players. Additionally, the prospect of winning or progressing can enhance commitment. Conversely, structures that appear unfair or overly complex can lead to disengagement. Aligning competition structure with player interests and goals ensures higher levels of engagement and satisfaction.
