All competitors start at the qualifying level in their team. All members must self vote at least 2 days during the week in order to advance to the team level. You will have 3 weeks to qualify after which you will be disqualified from the competition and you can rejoin again.

At the team level, every competitor must self votes at least 2 days during the week failing which they wont advance even if they have a winning score. The top 2 winning scores who have self voted required number of days will advance to our Semi Finals. Failing to self vote minimum 2 days will make your site go back to Qualifying Level.

At the Semi Final level, during normal weeks (when we have more than 2 competitors) the top 2 winning scores who have self voted ALL DAYS during the week will advance to the Final Level. During weeks when we have only 2 competitors, only the top score will advance. All other sites go back to their Team Level.

At the Final Level, the site winning 3 weeks in a row will retire for our Site of the Year. Of course you need to self vote ALL DAYS during the week. If a site has won 3 times in a row during a week, then the 2nd placed site in the last week will stay and try again in the subsequent week. Losing sites go back to their Team Level to try again.
