Anyone on the events team want to chime in? I'm just asking for 1st and 2nd place badges although the community event badge would be nice too.

Gotta be careful with first time events. I would definitely support a front page post and the community event badge, but most events probably won't see the competition badges until they have been proven successful. (See: Buffet 1, Skyline 1, EGG 1) For instance, since Michigan and Pennsylvania have 8 participants and would currently have to battle for three months to determine a winner, how is that fair to a state that only has to compete for one month to see a winner? What if the sparse states are combined by region so that everyone has the same length of competition?

If this is the case how did the lucky number get medals then?

See the red bold print above?

That, and you can basically look at the Lucky Number challenge as having been an annexed portion of the official events team.

Some member of the team had a hand in the creation and implementation of the event from the very early stages.

You can post them here. I am confident the appropriate parties (futiles/fafhrrd) will find them.

Any chance of getting medal status for the 2012-2013 champions league I know that normally first time challenge don't get medal status usually but this is actually the second running of the event the first running ended this morning to a successful conclusion it was a test event but still had a quarter of the total field and ran for a third of the actual events time .

The actual event will have 64 entrants put into two person teams and will run for 10 plus weeks every team will get at least six weeks worth of event time after that it becomes a knock out full details are on the challenges thread.

We have 12 but in it's defense I haven't really started advertising yet this was kind of my first movement in that department also I wanted to see how the test event played out and I do believe most of the entrants in that will join the event proper knocking us up to around 25 still with a long way to go but as well the shear length of time people have to challenge should make it worth the first 6 weeks are split into a round every two weeks so Monday to Friday one week next week brake like that for the group stage then knockout rounds half teams play one week other half play the next then the return legs of the fixtures one weeks between knockout round ends up making the fight for the title like 5 months so the winner will have earned that medal.

Rogue - Just from my own experiences, it is way easier to get support and participation for an event that you want to run if you first spend time volunteering and helping run some of the other events first. There are always opportunities to help out with other big events on the site.

The EGG event that I ran last fall was a great example. I couldn't do it without the help of volunteers who helped me tally the results daily so that I could format them on the official scoring site. If those volunteers wanted to step up and run a brand new event they would get lots of support because they would have:
A) Got to know lots of the players from helping in the previous events
B) Shown they can start something and stick with it over a long period of time

Before I even dreamed of setting up the EGG event I spent last year helping Lausdomini run the first Skyline event. I met lots of the regulars while updating the scoreboard every single day for that event over a 4 month period. They all knew that if I started a brand new event I would see it through to the end.

Score points. But not too many points. Unless you want to bonus down. Stay up late on Saturday nights. Fail simple math additions. It's the return of the STEI! Details to come, including differences from the original.
