Team and Individual points earned will be reflected on this page below in your Dashboard.


What Do You Mean "Team-Based"?
This competition is team-based, which means one of the 4 teams will win and all winning team members will receive prizes.


What Prizes are Available?
Big thanks to our sponsors (see the full list of sponsors below) we have lots of prizes for both the winning team and also the Top 3 players in each team.

GMAT Club Tests (2-week access) - $20 each | 500 licenses available for the winning team | Total Value: $10,000.
- GMAT Club tests are some of the best and well-known practice tests for those looking to improve their quant score. These tests were written by moderators such as Bunuel and others to help prepare you for the unexpected. These questions do not force you to do excruciating calculations or needlessly waste your time. GMAT Club tests focus on combining multiple concepts and present you with questions you have not seen before, just like the hard quant questions on the GMAT - forcing you to find a solution to a question you have never seen before.
- Your access will start on July 26th, right after the competition ends.




Math Revolution | 50 Courses available | Total Value: $10,000
- You can be the lucky winner of one of the 50 Math Revolution VIP courses. Your access will be valid for 3 months with access to over 2,100 challenging quant questions developed by some of the best minds at Math Revolution!

Will Everyone Win Prizes?

• Everyone on the winning team will!
• The team that gets the most points at the end of the competition, will win. Every member on the winning team will receive access to the GMAT Club Tests for 2 weeks.
• The top 3 players on each of the 4 teams will have a choice of the top prizes (the winning team's 3 top users will have the first pick), and then the next 9 will choose their prizes based on the point ranking
• The remaining prizes will be distributed among the users based on the points earned. Each user is limited to 1 prize. We have a lot of prizes and expect over 500+ people getting something (Full disclosure: the majority of those, will be getting GMAT Club tests for the winning team). In other words, 9 people from non-winning teams will also win prizes based on the above.
