XP Bonuses
At the end of the event, I will reward XP to everyone for the amount of points they earn from this event, which will be done with a calculation of "Points x 20 = XP Amount", so for example, 18 points would be worth 360XP.

XP earn rates are also doubled for the duration of Summer Meltdown 2024, which means posting during the event will get you more XP than usual!

Rules and Regulations
As usual, we have a couple of rules and regulations in place for this event:

• Any evident signs of cheating or manipulation by any user during this event may result in immediate disqualification and forfeit of any prize you may have been eligible for.
  
• Staff may compete and earn points, but are not eligible for cash prizes. In the event a staff member attains first place, the cash prize shall be delegated down to the first non-staff member in the second or third place position.
  
• You must have at least 25 posts to redeem the cash prize. Keep in mind that posts in our Fun & Games area do not increase your post count and thus are not included in meeting this requirement.
