How it works (V1 – 9 Dec 2019 V2 – 05 April 2020)

  • Prizes are awarded monthly, and the terms of the prize will be announced monthly when the prizes for the previous month are released
  • Prizes are based on participation in that month
  • Prizes are awarded to the top three participants based on monthly reward
  • There will always be a winner. Tie-break rules: in case of ties, participation metrics will be applied to the tie-break, e.g. number of claims, number of unique comments, number of up-votes
  • If tie-break rules are applied, the metrics used to determine winners will be announced
  • Winners will only be named by their platform avatar name (i.e. they will remain anonymous)
  • A list of winners each month will be published on repliCATS website [link to website], and posted to the platform community page
  • The first time you win, you will be awarded a “cat-as-trophy” badge which will appear on your profile in the community page
