    Hi Shyamali,

    Thanks for reaching out to GILD. We have looked into this issue, however we have no record that you are a winner in one of our competitions. Could you please provide a few more details? What competitions you won, the date you were notified and who notified you?

    Kind regards,
    Blaine

    Hi Shyamali,

    Thank you for your patience with this. We double checked our records and found no congratulation messages sent to your GILD account. If you don't mind, could you kindly send me a screen shot of the messages sent to your account?

    Also, the teams that you mentioned were not winners in the competitions and based on your account you do not have any teams that qualify to participate in competitions.

    Do you happen to have another account on GILD that you used to participate in competitions?

    Kind regards,
    Blaine

    Hi Honey,

    Thats a great question.

    econd, being a "Top Performer" does not mean you've been selected the winner. In our competitions there are many users who's performance are considered by our system to be "statistically equivalent" and considered to be the best. All of those we identify as "the best" are awarded the "Top Performer". A winner is then selected from the "Top Performers" at random.

    To elaborate a bit, if you completed a competition and answered 90% of the questions correctly in 230 seconds and another person answered 90% correctly in 210 seconds, we consider the two equavalent even though the scores might be different. Internet speeds and other factors could impact the times and therefor the scores.

    Anyway, we have a system which awards points based on a sophisticated algorithm. After the competition is complete, we identify the best performers and those are toe "top performers". This is usually the top 1%-2%. From that list a winner is selected.

    So being a "top performer" means you've performed well enough to win. From this point it's pretty much random and you'll be notified soon if that the case.

    I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

    Best,
    Blaine

    Thanks Blaine for such useful information.
    But is that mean that I've to wait for getting selected randomly and wait for award.In that case how can I know I've been selected or not.

    And, for how many days approx. I've to wait for a particular award and selection process to be completed for a particular test?

    selecting a winner at random?? That doesnt sound very right. It is, in fact, disappointing...
