Hello all, a quick update in regards to the Week One Star Wordle competition. Due to some irregularities with the settings of the competition, it was possible to see the answer to the puzzle once you had made a full set of incorrect guesses. As this would leave the competition unfair for those that exploited this loophole, the decision was made to end this competition and replace it with a new [Pro Bowl VIII: Week One] Star Wordle Part Deux competition which will open at site reset tonight (so, running from Sept. 3rd - Sept. 8th).
As far as participation, everyone that entered the initial competition will be given full participation credit for the Pro Bowl Wordle event, and anyone that enters only the second competition will also get participation. If you submit entries to both, you will only get one participation credit for one competition and for the Pro Bowl scoring purposes. If, however, you desire to earn placement and Novae/Crescents for the Wordle event, you must enter the Star Wordle Part Deux competition.
If you have any questions in regards to this, please reach out to your Clan's Consul as soon as possible.

Nicely handled I think.
I do find it funny that this exact thing happened before with this particular game and type of competition. Hopefully some more vetting happens for the following weeks.
What about credits and XP for participation in the removed competition? Since it's no longer visible neither on the competition list nor on dossiers, would it provide credits and XP or is it necessary to take part in the current Wordle competition?
@Xantros: As the post states, everyone that entered either version of the competition will get credit for participation, both in Pro Bowl scoring and as far as the competition is concerned. Thanks!
Thanks and sorry, I understood it as credit for Pro Bowl scoring only for some reason. Though, I was also thinking about actually getting XP and credit (not the Pro Bowl scoring) for participation in both comps if both entries were technically valid.
@Xantros No worries! If we could give away two participations we would, but the rules are clear on how "bad comps" need to be blown away like the Death Star did to Jedha City (see what I did there?). We did get an export of all participants from the original comp, and they'll be added to the "new" comp to ensure that XP, credits, etc all flow as they should. :)
