Class Rankings

Should we determine, at our sole discretion, that any students on a team have collaborated in playing or that any student(s) on a team have otherwise cheated or violated the Budget Challenge rules, that team will be removed from the rankings and shall not be eligible for any contest prizes. Transfers of students into or out of a class are not prohibited per se; however, classes that appear to have gained a class rank advantage resulting from transfers will be reviewed and possibly removed from the class rankings at our sole discretion.

Contest Rules

 

If your class is participating in Budget Challenge through a Contest presented by one of our official sponsors on their own website, you consent to the terms of the Contest Rules posted on that site, which are hereby incorporated into these Terms.
