I want to give a free game via add_credit if the players score is the highest score for the machine.
I have been looking through the documentation and reading log entries. I am looking for the event that is thrown on the highest score. I will then use an event_player to add the credit.
2 Questions:
1) What event am I listening for in the high_score mode?
2) Does this approach sound valid?
Thank you.

Here is the log entry that I am investigating:
2018-06-07 19:01:31,996 : INFO : Mode.high_score : New high score. Player: <Player 1>, award_label: GRAND CHAMPION, Value: 27000

This looks like the event I am looking for?
2018-06-07 19:01:33,948 : INFO : EventManager : Event: ======'grand champion_award_display'====== Args={'value': 27000, 'player_name': 'AAA', 'award': 'GRAND CHAMPION'}

I think this is the obvious place to listen and apply the credit for a high score game
credits:
max_credits: 12
free_play: False
service_credits_switch: s_service_coin
events:
- event: high_score_award
type: award
credits: 1
- event: add_credit
type: award
credits: 1
- event: match_has_match
type: award
credits: winnersStill investigation the proper event to listen for

Looks good in general. I would avoid spaces in events. You probably need the queue_relay_player for other reasons than the credits right? Otherwise you probably could get rid of it too.

The space in the event is what is showing, I am not sure how to change that.
You are right, I do not need the queue relay player at this point.

That is probably the award name. Will have a look later. Created a bug to track it: https://github.com/missionpinball/mpf/issues/1189.

Here is my naive implementation. It might be a good documentation point or cookbook point.
I currently have a credit added callout that I wanted to retain and on a free game provide an additional one
/config/config.yaml
credits:
max_credits: 12
free_play: False
service_credits_switch: s_service_coin
events:
- event: add_credit
type: award
credits: 1
- event: match_has_match
type: award
credits: winners
- event: champion_award
type: award
credits: 2
switches:
- switch: s_coin_left
type: money
value: .25
- switch: s_coin_right
type: money
value: .25
pricing_tiers:
- price: .25
credits: 1
- price: 1
credits: 5
fractional_credit_expiration_time: 15m
credit_expiration_time: 2h
persist_credits_while_off_time: 1h
free_play_string: FREE PLAY
credits_string: CREDITS/modes/high_score/config/high_score.yaml
queue_event_player:
"grand champion_award_display":
queue_event: champion_award_event
events_when_finished: champion_award
queue_relay_player:

this works but if multiple players beat the high score, they all win 2 awards.
Shouldn't it be that the award is given out only once / game?
