CRITERIA FOR POINTS
In order to earn Beta points an entrant must submit an issue pertaining to the SolidWorks product and its add-in programs excluding SolidWorks partner products. Once Beta Tech support receives the reported issue we will award points based upon the severity of the issue, and the troubleshooting content that it contains. The winners will be the entrants who accumulate the highest number of Beta Program points [see the attached DS SolidWorks Beta Program Points Guidelines by the conclusion of the Contest Period. Multiple submissions of unique bugs are encouraged. Determination of points awarded for each bug reported is at the sole discretion of DS SolidWorks Corporation, whose decision shall be final. Once the 2010 Beta program concludes, all entrants’ beta points will be tallied. The beta entrants with the highest overall beta points will be awarded the contest prizes per category. If two or more participants have the same number of points, they receive the same value of prize. However, the prize level below that is canceled.
