Question Set start date for points

Hi, I'm wondering does this product, Lite or Pro allow you to set a start date for activity points? So like if I want to use it for competitions can I set a date, for example 01/01/2013 for the points all to be set at 0 and count until the end of the competition?

Actually i've just seen in the manual there's Activity Contests which gives you a start and end date option which is ideal.

However, it says "Note: Up to vBActivity 3.0.0, Activity Contests award the prizes in order of who achieves them first and not necessarily who scores the most points."

What is the situation now? I would like it to calculate the winner with the highest points at the end of the contest.

You can choose the contest type when creating the contest
