Challenge results, voting and rewards

Every challenge sets out in advance how it's evaluated and what you can win. Results and rewards only come once the team finalises the challenge. Only entries whose proof was accepted are counted.

The three evaluation types

• Rubric scoring: the team scores every accepted proof per criterion. The sum gives a result from 0 to 100.

• Community vote: the community votes on the entries. The entry with the most votes comes first.

• Measured value: a measured value is scored. Whether the higher or the lower value wins is stated in the rules.

How to vote

1. Open the challenge while voting is open. Entries in the vote shows the description and links of the submitted entries. Proof files stay private.

2. Click Vote on the entry of your choice.

3. If you change your mind, you can move your vote to another entry with Move my vote here until voting ends.

• Accounts with a confirmed email address can vote. If a challenge requires a minimum account age, its page says so.

• Each account has one vote per challenge. You can't vote for your own entry or for your own crew.

• Vote counts are only published after finalisation.

• If an entry breaks the rules, report it with Report. The moderation team reviews your report confidentially.

In case of a tie

How a tie is resolved is stated on the challenge page in advance. Either the team decides by a published criterion, never at random, or the tied entries share the place.

Results

Once the challenge is finalised, the placements appear on its page and you're notified. You see your result there under Your result and in My challenges. Entries without an accepted proof are shown as “Not qualified”. If your profile is private, you appear in the results as “Private profile”. The top three places are recorded in the Hall of Fame.

Rewards

The Rewards section on the challenge page shows what's on offer. This can be XP, Season Points and Wanted Tokens for every qualified entry, extra for certain places and, in crew challenges, crew points too. Rewards are granted once, at finalisation, and within the weekly limits. In crew challenges, every member on the roster receives the rewards. You can see your credits under Level & XP, Season Pass and WT history.

Real prizes

Some challenges also award real prizes, meaning cash or physical prizes. They are separate prize objects, not Wanted Tokens, and are never converted into WT. If you win one, it appears in My challenges under My prizes. There you confirm it with Confirm prize, and the team then gets in touch about the handling. The team handles prizes manually; the status shows where things stand, for example Confirmed or Shipped.

• Cash prizes and 18+ physical prizes require a confirmed age of 18 or over. As long as no age verification is available, there are no challenges with such prizes. Only the result of the check is stored, not a copy of your ID or your date of birth.

• “Recorded as paid” is an administrative record after a manual check, not a bank transfer by WANTED SIX.

• If a challenge is cancelled, there are no rewards and no prizes. Everyone registered is notified, and the reason is shown on the challenge page.

How to sign up and submit your proof is explained in Take part in challenges. Questions about a decision are covered in Event and challenge problems.
