I am in 50 of these things and there is no dog-named way this will be over before the end of this year.
Several players milk the number of games and SIT
so, to heck with it....if it is unlimited games --i might as well join the crowd and let February Challenge 2017 end in 2019

Can you limit a person to say joining maybe 100 games maximum..
might make it more fair for the working person, not just those that sit around all day and join 500 + games (cough, cough, confederate, cough cough cough)
Maximizing gives all the same opportunity to compete--even the freebies
all in all, great idea, but it needs a tweek (for the tweekers)

Challenge games usually need to finish within 1 month of the challenge month (so by end of March here) to count towards the score.

For the scenario challenges, no. This is running how it was intended. A "spam it up" month for those who want to play countless games.
In general, sure, we will absolutely have months with the split level scoreboard making it much more conducive for those who play less games to win the challenge.
My overall goal for these challenges is variety. Some will appeal to you much more than others, and that is okay.

according to what I read, if a game is started within the window, game on--so to speak

- Games must start between CC Time: 2017-02-01 00:00:00 and CC Time: 2017-02-28 23:59:59 to be considered for the challenge.
- Wins will count until CC Time: 2017-03-31 23:59:59
- Any issues will be solved by me, CatchersMitt14, and my word is final.

ok thanks for the prompt and thoughtful response. I am just aksing to win a medal, how about making it fair under the same scenario....give players a maximum amount of games; for this one, agreed--your agenda is what it is, and it is a success. But for players trying to win a prize or a medal under these parameters, it is not exactly fair. My two paws

Tokens are for WINS only.
ONE WIN is required for a CA Medal (any token).

It is completely fair - everyone is bound by the same rules in order to play this challenge. In terms of the February 2017 CA Medal, are you maybe missing the part where you only need one win to earn it?CatchersMitt14 wrote:MEDAL CRITERIA

As an aside, I do not see limiting games as fair at all. Play as many as you would like or not. Again, we will absolutely have months with the split scoring system - play X number or fewer games and wins are worth more than if you exceed X number of games. Those are not the rules for this month. When they are the rules, we will still not be putting a cap on the number of games an individual can play for the challenge, it will be each player's choice as to which scoring rubric they would like to use.

Unless of course we get a higher bid
