For every Episode of Scorum's Sports Q & A Time, i make a post to announce the successful winners from the participants.

.

The announcement usually comes after 3 or 4 days when the 3 available spots/positions have been claimed, or when no one wants to put in his or her entry any longer. In addition, i also made sure that before any announcement, the necessary payments to respective wallets of winners have been concluded.

.

For contest number 17, 3 users put in their entries. User @idunique is the first to put in his entry followed by @stanleyasokingz and lastly but not the least, scorum's indefatigable bettor @betman.

.

Interestingly all 3 of them got the questions they attempted correctly. Which means, all the entries have gotten the maximum points for SSQAT, episode 17. However, as stipulated in our rules, the first fastest user to put in his or her entry gets the lion share and so on down the line. Consequently, first place gets 25scr coins, second place gets 15scr coins and third place gets 10scr coins.

.

"Anyone who finishes a race, whether as being the first or the last to cross the finish line is a winner in every sense, though prizes/trophies may differ, just know that there is glory in the triumph".

.
