Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I win more than one prize in this contest?
A. Yes, there is one contest for each map, so you can win up to 5 different prizes, but you can't win 2 prizes for the same map.

Q. Do you count the score at the moment your team gets 500 and wins?
A. You can count any score you can get a screenshot of...so if you win 504 to 100 then it goes up to 511 to 100, then 511 it is!

Q. Can I use a screenshot from an Alliance Battle last month?
A. No, only screenshots from battles fought between when the contest started on Monday and before it ends on Saturday should be posted.
