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.
Image

Site Event Medals are awarded to the top three finishers on the challenge scoreboard.
1st: Image
2nd: Image
3rd: Image


In addition to the medals, the first place finisher receives: 1 Green Conquer Star
Image
And the 2nd-5th place finishers receive: 1 Blue Conquer Star
Image

When do I get my prize?
My goal is always to award prizes during the week following the completion of the event.

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending me a PM. I will periodically do a random check however I cannot monitor every game. 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.

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 me a PM and we will get it added for the month.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. Wins by round limit will drop tokens.
3. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year.
4. Bot games do not drop tokens.
5. Any unforeseen abuse is still abuse. Don't take advantage of the system.

If you have any further questions or issues not covered here please either post in the active challenge thread or PM CatchersMitt14.

Your win percentage will show once you've collected enough tokens for the 140 point CA medal requirement. Until you reach 140 points your win percentage will show as '0.'

Thats not the question I asked. Yesterday I appeared on the score board with 3 bronze tokens. Now I have 4 plus 1 gold yet my name is no longer there but people with only 1 or 2 bronze are on the score board. So Ill ask again. What determines who shows on the current board

It doesn’t matter. The computer reads you as 0%, same as everyone else regardless of what tokens you have. It doesn’t distinguish between someone with 100 tokens and 0% win and someone with 10 tokens and a 0% win. I don’t know how it is the computer sorts all the 0% scores but this happens in every event. You always see youself in a different place when tied at 0. It constantly shifts, always has. You have your tokens, your’re fine. Nothing to worry about until you hit 140 points.

Can you explain exactly what your definition of this rule means
EXAMPLE :
Does a Win by Round Limit effect your Win Percentage on the Scoreboard ?

It doesn’t not affect your percentage. Just means a win is a win, whether by clearing the board or from a round limit. Still counts the same. It’s just clarification as there are some TOs who count round limit wins differently than outright wins.

The system needs them in order to calculate win percentage.

Someone should make a participation ribbon. Then Bronze tokens could mean something again.

Games with Random Map do not drop Bronze Tokens, or (I am assuming) any other tokens

Just wondering why the Scoreboard does not use the Number of BRONZE TOKENS obtained during the Month
As a source for scoring until Players have earned the required Points and the Win Percentage is included

Example :
Player X has 13 BRONZE TOKENS in the Lead
Player Z has 11 BRONZE TOKENS in 2nd Place
Continue down the list in that order

Does it take a while for a token to show up in your inventory? I just won a Polymorph game on trench and I coulda swore it said I just won silver token and there is no gold token in my inventory.
