BADGE QUEST BOUNTY

• Each month, for every* new badge earned by all SFI affiliates–companywide–SFI will put 2 Rewardicals** into the Bounty pot, with a guaranteed minimum of 100,000 Rewardicals.
• At the end of the month, we will draw 40 winners, who will each receive an equal share of the bounty pot.
  

*Excludes SFI rank badge, which is awarded automatically to all affiliates.

**SFI reserves the right to adjust the ratio of Rewardicals per badges earned if necessary.

Q & A

Q: Are collecting badges important...and do they help me build my SFI business?
Because most of our badges are specifically designed as recognition of the activities that create a successful business in SFI...yes, and yes! To learn more about why badges are important and can help you build a great team in SFI, please review this LaunchPad lesson.

Q: How many badges are available?
There are currently dozens of SFI badges available...and more are being added regularly.

Q: Does Badge Quest only use SFI badges?
Badge Quest includes all SFI badges. For rules and information about using your TripleClicks badges in the TripleClicks Badge Quest contest, see this support page.

Q: Where can I find out what my current level is in Badge Quest and what I need to advance to the next level?
This information is provided for you in your Achievements Building Block at the Affiliate Center.

Q: Are the prizes awarded retroactively?  For example, if I am qualified today as a Badge Quest Pro, do I get the Rising Star and Pro prizes?
Sorry, no.  The program is designed specifically to award achievement going forward from the debut date of the game, not for things you've already achieved.  This of course also makes it feasible for us to award bigger prizes. 

Q: If I drop back a level in Badge Quest, do I get the prizes when I requalify again at my former level?
No. Prizes will be awarded only once per level.  Special Note: Once you achieve the level of Rising Star, Pro, or Master, you cannot be "demoted." 

Q: When are Rewardicals awarded?
Rewardicals for the first three levels are awarded upon achieving a new level (within 24 hours).  For the Grand Master and Grand Master Elite levels, leaderboard positions are finalized at 11:59:59 pm CT on the last day of the month and Rewardicals are awarded the following day (first day of each month).

Q: What about badges that new affiliates cannot attain because they represent obsolete programs or are otherwise unavailable now?
They will still count for the first three levels (Rising Star, Pro, and Master), but these badges have no point value for Grand Master and Grand Master Elite, as it be would be unfair to new affiliates who would be unable to collect those badges.

Q: Where can I see how many points each badge is worth for the the Grand Master and Grand Master Elite levels?
Click HERE to view the badges, then click a badge for a popup showing the points value for that badge. Important Note: For badges that have the trim options, you'll earn 2x the badge's base value if your badge has the bronze trim, 3x the badge's base value for silver trim, and 4x the badge's base value for gold trim.

Q: Achieving the top 200, and especially achieving the top 20, could be a very challenging task.  Might those numbers be increased?
We want the Grand Master and Grand Master Elite levels to truly be elite.  However, as SFI grows and more people begin participating in Badge Quest, we definitely will look at increasing the numbers to reflect a larger pool of players.

Q: For Grand Master and Grand Master Elite, can I lose my title if other players overtake me in points?
Yes.  To retain your elite title, you must maintain your position in the top 200 for Grand Master or top 20 for Grand Master Elite each month. See the Badge Quest leaderboard to determine exactly where you are currently positioned.

Q: Should I encourage my team members to participate in Badge Quest?
Definitely!  By competing in the game, they'll be learning all about SFI and participating in many valuable business-building activities. Badge Quest makes building a business more fun, too!

Q: Is there any way to know when my team members do well in Badge Quest?
Yes, for all affiliates in your group who you are the sponsor or co-sponsor of, you'll be immediately notified whenever they achieve a new Badge Quest level so that you may congratulate them and help them advance even higher. One of the best and easiest ways is to send an E-Card. See the Badge Quest category for a variety of cards designed just for congratulating advancements in Badge Quest.
