bb kindly look into my prize for experts global mocks and give me that as that’s what I had chosen pks

Hi Everyone again - here is the official selection of prizes based on the choices made and based on the prizes that were available. As a reminder, the first 3 players of the winning team had the first pick of prizes and then the top 3 players of other winning teams and only after that the rest of the players based on the points. Some people may have had more points but were #4 on the team, and had to yield the choice to the top 3. It is complicated business which is the reason I am posting this for 24 hours in case someone spots a mistake in my data insights skills (one had happened before so I am waiting for 24 hrs now). Congrats rishikavats17 - Kinshook donated your prizes back into the pool.

Hi. Sorry about the confusion but I think i got it right. I just checked and the award is correct as per the choices submitted. You can consult the email confirmation for both of your submission on Jan 2nd.

The mocks was your 3rd choice and the discount was the first choice.
I am afraid at this point, this is your choice and it stays. We are not making any changes after the assignments are done. I am sorry

bb : Hello! Just wanted to understand, do we have to mail the third party (in my case, experts global) to activate the account? What should be our next steps? (I apologize if my question is amongst the ones that are cumbersome)
