VIEW CONTEST STATS

Entry:

Each week is a different contest and each week you must earn 50 points or more to qualify, it's that simple! You can see how many points you have and how many more you need on the contest stats page.
You can gain points by participating on GameGrep. For more information on obtaining points please refer to the GameGrep Points FAQ which will give you details on the many ways you can gain points!

How this works:

Each week we have a prize, and we have a goal. The goals are site wide goals this means a site achievement for that week needs to be met before the prize is "unlocked". Once a goal has been achieved and the prize is unlocked, if you have 50 points or more you will have a chance to win that weeks prize! However, if the weeks goal is not met the prize for that week is ADDED to next weeks prize! BUT the goal for the next week is raised to a higher requirement. At the end of the contest if none of the weeks challenges are met the prizes will be put into the GG Safe (which is under strict surveillance by Neocat) and used for another contest in the near future. If this contest turns out to be successful we can do this style of give-a-way more frequently with potentially better prizes!

Examples:

Example 1: Week 1's goal is for 6500 total points given out to everyone over the entire week. If by the end of the week only 6000 points have been reached the goal has been failed and Week 2's prize is now $100 rather than $50 and Week 2's goal has gone from 150 total news articles to 200 total news articles! A higher prize comes with a higher challenge!

Example 2: Goals for Week 1 and Week 2 have not been met, Week 3's prize is now worth $200 and the goal has gone up from 1000 comments to 1500 comments

Example 3: Goals for Week 2 and Week 3 have been successfully accomplished and winners are picked with prizes of $50 (Week 2) and $100 (Week 3), Week 4's prize is still at $200 because the previous goals have been met

Winning:

• Past GameGrep monthly contest winners are eligible in this contest
• You can win more than once (one person could win all 4 weeks worth of prizes!)
• You can only win if that weeks prize is unlocked!
• Winners picked based on the "weighted system" (see below)

The weighted system explained:
The weighted contest is based on the theory of 1 point = 1 ticket. The more tickets you have, the greater your chance of winning. However, it's all still based on luck of the draw so even if you have 50 points, you could still win!
