# Award event ranks and publish results (leadership only)

> Leaders set ranks to award an event. Setting ranks also publishes the results on the Events tab and in Discord, so there is no separate publish step.

<Info>
  This page is for leadership. Only leaders (R4 and above) can award ranks.
</Info>

When an event ends, you put the players in order and award their ranks. Awarding the ranks also publishes the results. You no longer need a separate publish step.

## Award ranks in the app

1. Open the event's dashboard.
2. In the **Ranks** section, drag players into order. The note next to each rank is that player's point cap.
3. Select **Set ranks**.

The results now show on the [**Events**](/events/events-home) tab and in the Discord `/events` menu. Players see their new rank right away.

To change the order later, select **Edit ranks**. The published results update at once.

<Note>
  The publish button under **Tell the alliance** was removed. You can still use **Tell the alliance** to send your own results mail or a ready check.
</Note>

## Award ranks on Discord

1. Type `/events-admin` in your kingdom's Discord server.
2. Select **Award ranks**.
3. Pick the event. A form opens.
4. Enter the players in rank order and submit the form.

The bot confirms the award. The event closes and its results show to members right away.

## Post the results on the bulletin board or mail the alliance

Awarding ranks shows the results to members, but it does not send any mail. To share the list more widely, use **Results mail**:

1. Type `/events-admin` in your kingdom's Discord server.
2. Select **Results mail**.
3. Pick the event. The bot shows a preview of the mail first.
4. Choose where to send it:
   * Set **publish** to true to post the list on the bulletin board.
   * Set **mail** to true to send it to the alliance as alliance mail.

You can turn on one or both.

## Where players see results

* The **Results** card on the [**Events**](/events/events-home) tab lists every event that has ranks, newest first.
* On Discord, players see the same list in the `/events` menu.

Setting ranks does not post anything to the bulletin board. To do that, use the results mail.

Players you [removed from the event](/leadership/remove-player-from-event) are not ranked and do not appear in the results.

## Ranks without a cap

When you rank an event, you can give each rank a cap. If a rank has no cap, results lists end after the player's name. For example: `1. kat (#42)`. Earlier versions showed "cap not set" instead.

This applies to the results mail, the copied mail template, the events home page, and Discord results.
