The Triple Crown of 10k Exchanges

Welcome to the Triple Crown of Exchanges winner's circle! Triple Crown winners must meet the requirements set out in our rules here — in short, winners are folks who've posted 10k (or equivalent) works to each of the three exchanges and remain in good standing with all three exchanges.

We're including pinch hitters in the celebration again this year! To qualify for the pinch hitter raffle pool, you need to have created one pinch hit of at least 5k (or equivalent) in ONE of the exchanges.

It's time to claim prizes and enter raffles! This post serves as an overview of the process as well as a place for you to find important links. Prize and raffle ticket claiming ends at 11:59pm EDT on June 24th (countdown) and raffle tickets will be pulled in a live Discord event on July 1st, starting at 6pm EDT (countdown) (Discord invite link).

• You do not have to submit verification before you claim prizes this year.
• We will email anyone who needs to be verified after they've submitted a form.
• To claim prizes, you fill out the Prize and Raffle survey on Airtable.
• You don't have to claim any prizes you don't want or enter any raffles you're not interested in.
• You can see a full list of prizes on the Prize Listing post.
• If you aren't interested in claiming prizes, but you would like to be acknowledged on our acknowledgement post, you can fill out the Acknowledgement Only survey.

We have a small selection of prizes that all 3c winners can claim! This includes a certificate, e-card and stickers. Our generous donors have also offered a slate of prizes that will be raffled off this year! We will be using an airtable form for claiming prizes & tickets to the raffles.

⭐The Prize and Raffle listing post is here!

If you don't want to enter any of the raffles, or claim any prizes, you can opt not to claim anything you're not interested in when you are filling out the prize survey.

Each year, we acknowledge all of the winners who have completed that round of the Triple Crown of Exchanges. By default, anyone who does not tell us they want to be acknowledged will remain anonymous. If you prefer to receive acknowledgement without claiming prizes, you can fill out the Acknowledgement Only survey. You can fill out this survey if you are a:

• 3c winner who is not claiming raffle tickets or prizes.
• Pinch hitter for any 3c event who created at least ONE of the following and is not claiming raffle tickets:
  • 1k+ or more in FIAB
  • 5k+ in FFFX
  • 10k+ in HA

⭐Acknowledgement Only Survey is here!

If you qualify for & prefer to claim prizes, please use the Prize and Raffle Survey instead.

When you fill out a prize survey or acknowledgement survey, we will check to see if you qualify as a 3c winner or 3c pinch hitter. In our experience, most Triple Crown winners and pinch hitters will be pre-verified!

• All of your qualifying works were posted under the same username.
• All of your qualifying works are still listed under that same username.
• You are claiming your prize under that same username.
• If you received gifts in HA or FFFX, you have commented on all of your gifts in those exchanges.

• winners who posted their works under several different usernames
• winners who changed their username between exchanges
• winners who have not commented on their HA or FFFX gifts.
• pinch hitters who completed multiple pinch hits and swaps in FIAB. We may need to verify that your wordcount was for pinch hits, and not assignment earn-backs or swaps.

If you need to be verified, we will email you after you've submitted your prize form. We will request the usernames & titles of each qualifying 3c work, and we'll begin the verification process from there! If we cannot verify your 3c win or pinch hit, you will not be able to claim prizes or raffle tickets.

The May 6th deadline for raffle donors to reach out to their recipients has now passed! If your raffle donor has not gotten in contact with you yet, please reach out to us at triplecrowncommittee@gmail.com.

If you are a raffle donor, you do not need to confirm that you've reached out to your recipient at this time. We'll ask you about your gift progress in the July check-in, but otherwise you do not need to fill out anything!

Everyone who claimed Triple Crown raffle tickets should have their raffle numbers email now! If not, please email mods at triplecrowncommittee@gmail.com.

At 3pm EDT on Saturday, April 16, winning raffle tickets will be chosen by Discord robot in a live event! (Countdown here). If prize claiming needs to stretch out to a second day, the second round of number drawing will likely occur on April 17th (starting at 3pm EDT). The discord is here.

Everyone is invited to come hang out & watch the raffles get drawn. You don't have to be at the live event to win anything, and everyone will receive an email after the raffles are all over, confirming what prizes you have won (or, if you're a prize donor, what your next steps are).

If you'd like to review the raffles before the event, a detailed list is still available here.

(Can't believe it's finally happening! Took a whole year to get here! Eeee!)

Hey everyone! This is a reminder that prize claiming and raffle ticket claiming ends this Sunday, April 10 at 11:59pm EDT! (Countdown)
