Abstract
Systems and methods for incentivizing user participation in gameplay events that take place in an online game are presented herein.

The time intervals may be associated with incentivizing one or more actions and/or activities by the users during the intervals.

The awards associated with time interval performance may impact awards distributed based on final ranking in the gameplay event.
