When fans participate in Trivia Mania without creating custom usernames, the system auto-generates display names using a customizable prefix (up to 8 characters) followed by a unique number. For example, you can configure the prefix to display names like 'User12345', 'FAN1234', or 'PLAYER5678'. This approach maintains privacy while still enabling the competitive leaderboard experience. The leaderboard displays the top ten participants along with their scores and ranks. Each individual fan sees their own rank and score highlighted at the bottom of their screen. While auto-generated names are less personally meaningful than custom usernames, the configurable prefix helps make it clear that viewers are looking at anonymized participant identifiers rather than random numbers.
