Medal Criteria

• At LEAST 20 games total and at least a 40% win rate.
• You will receive a BRONZE or SILVER token upon game start and a GOLD token for each win.
• The number of Gold tokens divided by the number of Bronze and Silver tokens is your win percentage.
  For example 30 games and 12 wins will get you a 40% win rate.
• If a tie score occurs, the player who has more wins will be the winner (15 wins in 30 games will be better than 10 wins in 20 Games). If there is still a tie, whomever reached the challenge goal first, will be the winner.

FAQs:

Who can play a Challenge?
Challenges are open to everyone!

How do I join?
No signups required. Join and/or create games that meet the given parameters for this month as found in the OP. Only public games count towards the challenge unless otherwise explicitly stated in the challenge OP. There is also a "join games" link in the OP to provide an easy list of qualifying games.

What are the prizes?
All players who meet or exceed the minimum number of required points for the month will earn a Challenge Achievement Medal. The point requirements change every month as we aim to provide a vast assortment of challenges which includes a varying level of difficulty.

When do I get my prize?

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending a PM to groovysmurf and chanakam2020. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.

Tiebreakers?
Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first, unless indicated otherwise.

A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do?
PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.

What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge?
Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send us a PM and we will get it added for the month. Remember that games that do not complete by the allotted time, will not drop tokens!

Suggestions and Requests
Go here and post if you have any ideas or special requests for future events.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. NO inviting opponents! (this includes rematch invites) More details can be viewed here.
3. Wins by round limit will drop tokens.
4. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year.

I'll bet i know they answer but

1) do we need to win but a silver and a bronze game ?

2)if player A has a uniquely highest qualifying percentage and Player B has the highest win total then player A wins the tournment, correct?

1. You need only one type. You can play 20 poly games or 20 quad games to qualify. But if you like you can play some amount of poly games & some amount of quad to make required minimum 20 games.

2. The player with highest win percentage will win. But if there is a tie say player A & B both have 50% but A won 10 out of 20 and B won 50 out of 100 then B goes up.
