Understanding Championships and Stages
A complete guide to how championships are structured and how to progress through stages.
Last updated February 20, 2026
Championship Structure
Each championship on AcademyChamp is organized into stages, which are sequential phases of the competition.
How Stages Work
Stages contain two types of content:
- Lessons - Educational content including videos, articles, and interactive materials
- Assessments - Quizzes and tests that evaluate your understanding
Progression
You must complete each stage before moving to the next. Completion requires meeting the minimum passing score, which is a combination of your lesson and assessment performance.
Scoring
Each stage has configurable weights for lessons and assessments. For example, a stage might weigh lessons at 30% and assessments at 70%. Your weighted score determines whether you pass and advance.
Leaderboards
Your scores contribute to the overall championship leaderboard. Top performers earn recognition, certificates, and prizes.
