Errors and omissions may be accepted at the Promoter's discretion. Failure by the Promoter to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights. Incomplete or indecipherable entries or entries not completed in accordance with these Conditions will be deemed invalid.

The Promoter has no control over communications networks and is not liable for any problems associated with them due to traffic congestion, technical malfunction or otherwise. The Promoter is not liable for any consequences of user error including (without limitation) costs incurred.

How winners are determined

Valid entries (as determined by the Promoter) will be judged based on the competition scores attained by the entrants. The twenty entrants with the highest completion score will each win a prize.

Believe it or not the leading scorer in this comp has scored 7134 points in 20 seconds. 

Looks like the prizes will go to the techno whizz kids who can manipulate the scores - again!

[settowin]

I messages Lenovo to ask how the scores are calculated and they said they weren't sure but offered this response-

"We think it's a combination of skill and Lenovo loyalty! Keep going and good luck! 😊"

That didn't make it any clearer for me..

[Indiorose]

130 points here. Perhaps it's time to retire from the game?
