Competitours First Round Coming Up

March 15th is the first round of the Competitours and it’s going to be exciting to see how it starts.

Flyertalk.com has a couple teams competiting. They were actually sponsored by FlyerTalk.com!! How awesome is that. Just goes to show that this is something people are really interested in.

The 24 teams competiting are hoping for a chance at some really sweet grand prizes (remember that each trip length has different prizes, this is for the budget trip):

First Place

• 20 Hotel Nights
• 2 Airline Tickets
• $3000 Cash Prize

Second Place

• 15 Hotel Nights
• 2 Airline Tickets
• $4000 Cash Prize

Third Place

• 15 Hotel Nights
• 4 Airline Tickets
• $2500 Cash Prize

The Standard competition which Richard and I are going to aim for is a little bit different. Instead of 24 teams, there are only 17. 14 Days traveling instead of 8, and of course, much better prizes. Here they are:

First Place

• 40 Hotel Nights
• 2 Airline Tickets
• $5000 Cash Prize

Second Place

• 30 Hotel Nights
• 2 Airline Tickets
• $6500 Cash Prize

Third Place

• 30 Hotel Nights
• 4 Airline Tickets
• $4500 Cash Prize

For me, it was easy to choose to do the longer and more expensive leg. I want to be challenged, I want to show just how creative and competitive we can be. I have faith that if we can come up with the money, nothing will stop us from not obtaining our goal. Of course, while it is a competition, we plan to have fun and not just be out for blood.
