#1 Trending
Mrs Universe Jamaica Pageant
The most important variables in the contest are supporter registrations and upgrades. If a user signs up to support a candidate, that registration accounts for 35% of the trending model. If a supporter upgrades, that upgrade accounts for 25% of the trending model.
The remaining 40% is divided across votes, views, tracked activity, shares, and media completion. This encourages contestants to tell their fans to sign up, support them, vote, share, and upgrade their accounts to increase the contestant’s chance of winning.
Payment-based upgrade tracking uses confirmed callback records when available. Because the callback table stores contest_id, user_id, purchase_type, amount, currency, and status — but not entry_id directly — upgrades are attributed to a contestant when the paying user also has tracked support activity for that contestant.
