It was only a few months ago when Cyndy Davis was crowned our 2018 SourceCon Grandmaster Champion. She will keep her title for a few more months, but it’s time to begin round one of our 2019 Grandmaster Challenge. The Challenge will begin Monday, September 10th at 10:00 AM Central U.S. time. Anyone from around the globe can participate; all you need is a computer, one hour, and some serious sourcing skills.

We are keeping the rules consistent from last year with a few of our famous Grandmasters working behind the scene to build this year’s Challenge. No matter what your experience level is, you have just as much of a chance to win as anyone else.

Here is how it works:

  1. The site will officially launch September 10th at 10:00 AM CDT.
  2. You will have 60 minutes to complete 13 questions.
  3. Your progress will be tracked and recorded.
  4. The top 10 finalists will be decided by the number of correct responses, time completed and date submitted.
  5. The clock never stops. Well, it will after 60 minutes, and we disabled the ability to pause the game, so don’t start until you’re ready.
  6. You may skip and return to a question at any point.
  7. The competition will automatically self-destruct after 60 minutes, and your progress will be recorded.
  8. Yes, you can take this challenge with a friend, or a purple squirrel. Just don’t use a robot, they don’t always win.
  9. Since you can phone a friend, or ping a teammate, we will only accept two finalists from a company.
  10. The finalists will be announced live during the 2018 Fall SourceCon Conference in Atlanta.
  11. The competition will officially close on September 17th.
  12. Questions – ping your editor, Shannon@ere.net

Good luck!
