Pirates participated by being aboard ships which defeated brigands and barbarians while on a pillage. After winning a battle, each pirate on the ship would win a toy part (which appeared as stackables in the "miscellaneous" section of the booty panel). Parts from three different toys could be won, and each toy had three parts.

If a pirate had collected all three parts from a single toy, they could earn extra points for their team, and win trophies, by assembling the parts into one toy - toy assembly also counts as participation in the competition.

The standings for each team were regularly tallied and updated on a special "Competition!" tab of the notice board.
