Hi. Yes. The Top 3 players from the winning team will be the first ones and then top 3 players from the other teams and then everyone else will be in line for prizes.
I will be posting the final list later today with a bit of a rehash (but the details are in the first post already)

Congratulations everyone who participated - I hope you have enjoyed this competition. A lot of planning and preparation goes into these things and I appreciate your kind understanding if sometimes things don't go perfectly. We started preparing for this competition in October - collecting and writing questions as well as soliciting prizes.

First of all, I want to thank Bunuel, hr1212 and miag! It is great to have finalists from the past competitions help judge and contribute to this one. Also, thank you to all the sponsors - Manhattan Prep, Experts Global, Target Test Prep, Magoosh, Admissionado, MyAdmitCoach, mbaMission, Avanti Prep, Aringo, Personal MBA Coach, and Experts Global Admissions consulting team for your generous contributions - without your help, we would not have been able to get all the wonderful rewards and prizes. Thank you!

I know many of you have been waiting on prizes, so let me get to that:

1. Team Santa - a clear winner with 29.5% of the points. Great job! Your GMAT Club Tests Pro (2 weeks) and 1 month of forum quiz have been activated yesterday and your access will be valid until January 13th.

2. Prizes for the Top players (there are 66 prizes - I think this is more than we have ever had, so 66 players will win something special). I will be reaching out to the Top 66 folks in 2026 (really just tomorrow)

Note that we have 66 prizes (if my math is correct) and the way we will distribute them will be as follows (66 people will get a chance to pick something or rather submit your preferences) and then the choices will be provided on your highest preference rank based on the remaining items. The way it works, the first the top 3 players of the winning team, then the rest of the top 3 players based on points and then everyone else. So if you are #20, you will be choosing from what remains out of the available prizes after 19 people ranked higher than you picked, same exact way we have used in the past 5 competition.

3. Top 10 certificates - you will also get a message from me within a year (definitely sometime in 2026).

Here is the Top 100 Competitors list:
Congratulations chasing725 on the win of the competition with highest overall points! Good to see you again!
Congratulations redandme21 and Kinshook for being the top 3.
Congratulations Reon topgmat25 and ManifestDreamMBA on finishing top 3 for Team Rudolph!
Congratulations geocircle, sitrem, Archit3110 on being the top 3 for Team Elves
Congratulations firefox300, sanjitscorps18, and Dereno on being the top 3 players in my favorite Team Grinch!

Thanks bb Bunuel hr1212 miag, sponsors and all team members for organising this great competition !

Let me reiterate, "It's not the winning but the taking part that counts"? a phrase echoed by the founder of the Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who said "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well."

I congratulate Team Santa for winning the competition. I also congratulate all those who won and those who fought and participated well in the competition and enjoyed their Christmas holidays as well !
