Around the World in 80 Questions - GMAT Competition Jul 17-28, 2023

The proposal was made not just for allowing getting more rewards. As it was a team game, only probably the top-25 people participated wholeheartedly in the losing teams. I for one who attempted only timed questions for the first 5 days was able to increase my rank from 50 to 16 in the next 5 days clearly tells the laggards after 2nd or 3rd day stopped trying altogether and maybe focussed only on timed questions probably realizing there is no way to reach the top 10's level of points.

A chance of the top-15% getting a reward will breed to Intra-Team competition as well, which may allow much better participation and will keep most of the team participants engaged throughout the 10 days.

The results aren't out yet?
When will the winning team get the access to club tests?

likely around 10 AM Pacific.
Access to the GMAT Club Tests and Forum Quiz are expected to kick in for the winning team around that time as well.

Hi bb, bit of a typo mistake. Around the World in 80 Questions seems right.
Thanks.

Thank you! I blame you Freud and Jules Verne.

Hey bb Bunuel, I am a little confused about how the 26 individual prizes are awarded.
The PM that you sent says that "you will be provided with a prize that's available by the time I get to you. E.g. If you are #15 and all of xyz courses are gone, you will get whatever prize you choose next in your preference that is still available. "
- Does this mean if I am is 7th over all, you will consider me 7th in priority? which makes sense
or
going by what is mentioned in the google form you give priority to top 3 of the winning team, then top 3 of the other teams then the rest...
in that case if even I am #7, my priority would be 13
which among the 2 criteria will you be following? first case seems to be fair but I may be biased lol

PS: Awesome competition guys! thank you for hosting it. Missing the daily adrenaline already

what a 'Normal' distribution the ranks are.

I have a rank of 16 within the Lara Croft team, and have an overall rank of 64. Spooky.

So out of top 100 contributors, only maybe 47 people ( 32 from Indiana-jones +15 from Losing teams in top 26) got any prizes despite being top 5% contributors.

I was #7 in lara croft. 29 overall. Maybe lara croft is spooky HAHA

Not 32 from indiana jones

Iam 18 in indiana jones but not got any prizes other than gmat test and quizes
I think top 10 from each teams got some prizes

Hi Everyone. Did not mean to keep it mysterious. There were 26 prizes (if you count) so 26 people who scored at the top 26 got prizes. We distribute everything that's offered. Wish we had more things to give away... there is a GMAC giveaway that's happening if you want to check that out by the way:

Thank you,
BB

Any comment on the priority confusion or you want to keep that a mystery?

Hey BB. before start of the competition, it was mentioned that prizes will be distributed that no one gets 2 prizes. Now that Indiana Jones team is getting forum quiz and gmat club tests, isn't the rest 26 to be distributed among those who don't get awarded anything? Please clarify my confusion.

Are you suggesting that the winning team should only win quizzes and tests and forfeit courses and other prizes? That’s a pretty novel idea and an interesting way to treat the winners… you have many friends left? 😂

well, that is not going to happen.

Think about it as individual prizes and team prizes. The statement about prizes only refers to individual prizes because otherwise, they already have received quizzes and tests, and we already broke that rule 😱
