# Competition Mode

> Running in Competition Mode

## Overview

This mode is **REQUIRED** to show up on the Unverified leaderboard and forces the following behavior.

* Environments must be interacted with via the API
* Scoring is against all available environments, even if you choose not to interact with them
* Only *Level Resets* are premitted, *Game Resets* are not allowed and become *Level Resets*
* Can only interact (call `make`) a single time for each environment
* Can only open a single Scorecard
* Cannot get scoring of an inflight scorecard, `get_scorecard` does not work

**Note:** The Kaggle Compeition is forced into this mode.

### Example

```
from arc_agi import Arcade, OperationMode

arc = Arcade(operation_mode=OperationMode.COMPETITION)
```

You can also set the ENVVAR of `OPERATION_MODE=COMPETITION`.
