Important: You will need to mark which prize you wish you receive and in the order of priorities. If the prize is available by the time I reach you, you will get it. Your priority level/ranking has no bearing on your chances of getting a prize - it is only a preference. Prizes will be awarded in the following order: Overall winner. Top 3 of the winning team, then Top 3 of the other teams, and then everyone else based on the points down to 36 people. I will be sending a link to you via a PM in the next 24 hours or so. Then there will be a 48 hour period for filling out the spreadsheet and then I will be assigning the prizes based on your preference/priority and availability and you can expect that list to be finalized on Monday next week and prize distribution to start on Tuesday September 7th (Monday is a Holiday) Let me know if any questions. BB. How do I Participate? First, you need to register.

How do I access these questions? I keep getting a banner every time I open a new page and when I click on "Get me new questions" it does nothing. Can there be a daily email reminder for those who registered, guiding us straight to these questions instead of an annoying banner in every page?

Here are the links to the questions: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-club-ol ... l#p2833724.

Click X button on the banner to close it.

Hi bb,

I have a question regarding posting an explanation. Do we need to post the explanation within 2 hours to get kudos or can we post later also but will miss the 10 point bonus?

Sorry about the banner - it was actually a pop up that is supposed to go away after you click one of the links... but it did not so I disabled it for now. It should be fixed in time for tomorrow's questions.

It’s interesting to see how different years have produced different questions. This question has never come up about the 30 timers. Maybe that is because people have read the rules? 😂

If you look in the main topic, the first post of this discussion, you will see the time when we will post the questions. It’s only once per day at 8 AM Pacific daylight Time. We are only posting questions once a day. Currently we post 8 questions daily. We may change that later….

The 30 timers refers to all timers taken during the day and that includes both questions we Post for the competition and other questions.

Hi bb.. Thank you for organizing another amazing event!
Quick question. I posted explanations for the 2 SC questions within the 2 hour limit and 2 CR questions post that but I don't see these updated on my stats table which still says 0 explanations. Not sure of the reason.
I don't see the stats updated for correct timers and timers bonuses as well even though the instructions say that these get updated within 5 mins.
Sorry if this is too basic.. This is the first time that I am attempting such a quiz.

Same for me Archit3110 & uc26 but if you see BB's post above he mentions that the quiz started at 8. But as per IST, it was 8.30. I saw that my posts after 10 didn't get counted. Not sure, if it has to do something with the time zones. Anyway, good luck

Thank you for your question. Let me check. Explanations should be counted within a few minutes but I wonder if we may have to change some thing. I’ll post an update shortly.

as per my understanding restriction of time is only on timer i.e. attempt question within '120 mins' of posting time , but the same does not imply on explanation.
