Hey bb and Amazing Bunuel and BottomJee,

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks for the super cool contest. I joined in a bit late after 4 days, but once I started, it was like a daily adventure. Every day at 7:30 pm, it was like opening a surprise gift, trying to figure out the puzzles you threw at us.

Bunuel, you're like the math boss with those tricky problems, but it was fun trying to solve them. It felt like a game show, and I was the contestant figuring out the answers.

Now that it's over, I feel a bit sad, but also happy I got to play. It was like a math party every day! So, bb and Bunuel, thanks for the fun times with numbers. Can't wait for the next one.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the contest. Typically, we host two major events each year: the Summer Games and the 12 Days of Christmas. This year marks our 4th Annual Winter Competition. We're excited to see you at our next event in the summer of 2024!

Congratulations to the Winning team!

&
Best of luck to those, who didn't win this time, for the subsequent competitions

I have been on the losing side numerous times before winning just once. The biggest takeaway should be the learnings from the mistakes you made, maybe there were a few careless mistakes or maybe some conceptual gaps. Identify and fix them as soon as possible to achieve your dream scores.

All the best everyone for their GMAT journey

Thanks ! Congratulations to you as well for 100^2 + points

P.S. - I am a huge fan of your explanations especially the questions pertaining to quant

bb / Bunuel - Thank you for this great competition. Just a recommendation - can we make one of the two competitions, either the summer competition or the winter competition, individual based instead of team based. I think that would also give everyone a fair chance to win based on their level of preparation. What say ?

Next, I will be reaching out to the top 32 players who are eligible for a prize and for you to submit your prize preferences. That should be coming in the next 24 hrs along with me posting the official Top 100 list.

My last step is working on the Top 10 certificates (this will take the longest perhaps but I will get them to you by end of the week). If you are within the top 10, you will get one around the 31st of Dec.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I got a number of questions from people about Tests and quizzes, let me clarify.
If you already have GMAT Club test access/subscription, your access will be extended. E.g you had it until Jan 1, and now with 2 more weeks you will be good until Jan 15. So your access is extended.

Thank you.

Hi. The competition was over on Friday (technically the last points were awarded on Sat morning) so it is too late to get points.
You could get points for Sat and Sun timers about 10 days ago. However, I don't even see that you have joined the competition - there is no team name next to your username, indicating that you have not signed up for a team.

Congratulations again Team Grinch on Winning the competition. It appears this may be the first time ever Grinches have won... and they have worked hard and together! This is where perseverance and numbers beat out talent. There is not a single Grinch in the Top 5 but they still did it! Awesome!

Below is the top 100 participants ranked by points. We will be distributing the prizes to the winners based on the predefined arrangement mentioned in the first post (the highest-ranked member is actually not the one who gets the first pick

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.

When are you reaching out bb Bunuel ??

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.

OK. The prize choice is closed and I will be assigning prizes based on availability and preferences. Thank you. More to come

Kinshook - it was very generous of you to recuse yourself from the prizes and allowing others to step up in line. Thank you

I am also working on those Top 10 certificates - they are manual and I have given them a bit of a lower priority for sometime this weekend to spend an hour making

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.

FYI - timeframe for awarding prizes - I will start notifying prize providers over the weekend and you should have all of your prizes activated sometime next week (depends on the responsiveness of the test prep companies).

Thank you for your patience and appreciate your understanding for the process.
