[abacon]

Excited to participate this year!

[Erin]

@Carolyn we started our own little race competition too early! Oh well, I guess we can redo some things and hopefully earn some more highly coveted badges!!! Our nerdom knows no bounds......(speaking for myself at least 😅)

[Carolyn]

@Erin - Dang it! I'll probably use this as motivation to get through the last few Interactive Lessons that I have. 

[lwolfie]

I just caught up on all the weekly challenges......I guess I'll have to start looking at the cloud challenges for the points.

[alexnajm]

What place are we in after Day 1? 😊

[Carolyn]

@alexnajm - I just did a bunch of interactive lessons so I bet I'm ahead of you <menacing stare>

[alexnajm]

Oh it's on @Carolyn ! 

[EGoncalves]

Sounds exciting!!!

[EGoncalves]

Where do you see the points?

[PuffinPanic]

I have lots of cloud quests and weekly challenges to do :) 

How do we know how many points we've got?

[Carolyn]

From what I remember from last year, there wasn't a way to see the points during the competition and we would just get sporadic announcements of the points.

[AlteryxMatt]

Hi all!

I've been seeing the comments about those curious about their current standings. Please feel free to PM me, and we can chat about what your points value is looking like! 

[pilsworth-bulien-com]

Forgot this started again this week... time to get after it if I want to earn another gold!

Count me in!  Let's race!

[EKasminsky]

Is there a way to see our current score towards the Summer Cup?

[MistyLea]

@AlteryxMatt - several of my team members and I attended a live training taught by John Nadasky today entitled: Gather Insights from PDFs with Computer Vision

Is there any chance we would receive Summer Cup points for this? It was a company-specific training, so I understand it would be a manual process to award the points. 😬

Thank you!

[AlteryxMatt]

Hi @MistyLea!

Unfortunately, we cannot award points, even if they are Altexy-related. In the future, it seems like this could potentially be a consideration, so we will put it in our back pocket for next year, perhaps!

[BS_THE_ANALYST]

@AlteryxMatt  hmmm, the top 5 scoring weighting is interesting. For the top 5 finishers, 3 are level 3 and 1 is level 4 🤔.

All the best,
BS

[AlteryxMatt]

@BS_THE_ANALYST Lots and lots (and lots) of Interactive Lessons will definitely land you high up on the list like these users. Think 60+ Interactive Lessons each!
