Hey bb

Under topic Which Team am I on?

I guess the hyperlinks for Team Ronaldo & Team Mbappe have been interchanged, which might create a bit of a confusion so kindly check that out.

Thanks!



I am guessing you probably know already but if not, here is a tip ;-)

So in a major reversal:

1. The points are indeed calculated from midnight to midnight PST time
2. The points are calculated and post at noon (this originally confused the developers it seems) so here is the official rules/statement and I will update my earlier post. So the screenshot you posted is correct and the original post is correct.

Thx.
BB.

Thank you for posting that. Let me ask the same question again. Sometimes people confuse a.m. with p.m. so let’s see

1. Answered above.
2. Yes, you can take any timers of any questions
3. I just checked and the 30-timer reset happens at noon PST so it is within those 24 hours. This competition is not related to rewards so there should not be time connection though I can see how one would logically go there but not on the GMAT - that's too far of an inference ;-)
4. You want to be within the 6 mins and 6 seconds so that your attempts count. Again, this has nothing to do with rewards and is a different system/process. It is not really a competition if you are "solving" a question within 6 seconds - that's not reasonable and it is also not reasonable to take more than 6 mins.
5. Anyone can join to participate including Tutors and Moderators to support the competition but they won't accrue points. Why would we keep them out is my question back to you.... anyone can support their team and be a part of the competition but not everyone can earn points for fairness.

My 3rd and 4th queries raised due to the highlighted thing mentioned in attached screenshot. Please rectify those things in the original post if that's not the case as you said above.

Understood, thanks. Can you please elaborate what does the second sentence in the quotations mean "Please note that you have to take a timer for at least 6 seconds for it to count in the competition and no more than 6 minutes. That's actually how the timer is setup to track performance on our end, and not anything specific to the competition."- This is the basis of my 4th query- Timer limit is for this competition-specific as it has nothing to do with reward points system as per your reply. However, this second sentence seems to say otherwise.

Hi. It means exactly what it says - it is specific and seems clear. We have had that language for the last three years and it has been sufficient so far 😇

Ok. Maybe I misinterpreted it. I now think it means that timer is setup to track performance of all such kind of competitions held previously in the time range manner, and not specific to this year's competition. I may have wrongly confused it with reward point system. Thanks anyways for clarification.

Have a suggestion that question should be visible only after the timer is "on" and pause functionality of timer should be freezed for the competition. Only then the range of 6 seconds and 6 minutes makes sense.

If we take full-length GMAT Club Test on competition day, will that be counted for 30 timers?
And what about timers taken through Forum Quiz?

Just to be sure, 30 timers need not all be necessarily correct answers for 50-point bonus, right?

Further, how can we see the list of team members?

Vatsal7794 - the system has updated and cache has cleared (takes a bit of time for both) and it seems like the points have been posting for those who got kudos pre-8 AM.
If you posted late and got Kudos after 8 AM, your points will be awarded a bit later. :angel:
