Life really is not fair you know. It is bad enough that the SurfAholics have an Alpha and a Bravo Team but now they have FIVE team badges as well.
These badges were first shown off at last week’s Sweeva Surf Party and are designed to reward members of the SurfAholics Alpha team for outstanding performance. Now the team members who win the monthly team performance awards will also get a cool badge to collect.
This is a great idea. It is taking some of the existing game elements which are within CTP and personalizing them for an individual team.
There are four monthly awards within the team for the following categories:
- Earning the highest Daily Challenge percentage in a given month
- Earning the most team points
- Completing the most number of promos
- Peer Choice Award – a member selected by their team mates each month.
Not only are there badges to collect for each category but SSA also recognize the contribution made by the winners in public…there is no point in making an award and then keeping it secret.
So the winners are featured on the team blog and at the Sweeva Surf Party we saw splash pages which had been specially designed to showcase the winners.
These are the first four pages which all feature the new badges:
I did say there were five team badges but I have only shown you four of them. Well that is because the fifth badge is not really a team badge at all, it is a badge for general collection.
The fifth badge is officially known as the “SAA is #1 – it’s so unfair Badge” and if you want to claim that then you will have to get it from Matt. I have seen him give it out randomly but I don’t know what the requirements are to get it. He hasn’t told me. I wish he would. It is soooooo unfair.
This is what the badge looks like. Sadly it is not a clickable link to allow you to claim it. I know, I know. It is so unfair.
So very well done to team leader Matt Badura and to all the team members for this really creative use of CTP Badges.
Great work Alphas 🙂 – I want some !!!
Really nice looking badges!awesome stuff
Surfaholics #1 YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Idea I’m upset that I didn’t think of it first, but hey I can still be 2nd if I scramble.
Good heads there my friends!
Great badges 🙂 Too bad I can not get them for my collection LOL.
But to be fair, Alphas are not the 1st team with badges. If I remember well, William Miller made Bonze badges right from the start ;).
Interesting…I will have to investigate further. Thanks for pointing this out.
You know, there is a reason why the SAAs are placed where they are *kough* just ahead of the Lucky 13. They are so good, even if it is unfair.
Now I’ll have to start grinding on Matt to get the ‘It’s so unfair badge’, but I really think Elina needs it first….
This is Fair season in America. It’s just unfair that my county fair is in April and I can’t go this month….
Matt Rocks! Great leader indeed!
What you said!

Matt is definitely one of the most inventive folks I’ve seen come into this industry in a long while! And the Unfair badge is awesome, I had to claim it… thanks for posting the code Matt! 🙂
Awesome idea.
Rewarding the members for their hard work.
Congratulations on what is in all likely hood another first!

Impressive!
Very cool to see. Love seeing team leaders really highlighting their team members. That’s such a winning formula!!
*singing* Boo Team Surfaholics… Boo Boo Booo
very nice
That’s a great Idea…Walter are you reading this???
Uber team badges???
Nice badges idea it is. best of luck with it.
I got some ideas too…but thats not for public I guess… I am to Small in this world… way to small… Not that I am small, but but… 🙂
What’s not fair?
Other teams can buy more.
Great Idea, Surfaholics! If other teams are jealous (it’s not fair, whine, whine, whine), then they can buy their own badges. It’s still a “free” internet.
Awesome idea, Alphas – really love the team badges!
Creative idea, Surfaholics
Awesome Team Spirit for sure…very very creative
.
Great Teamwork… Great Idea…
.
What’s so unfair about this? If you want 5 badges for your team, order them! Fair is what you make it!
Awesome sauces!
Nice looking badges.
Good luck to them interesting concept to control a few badges.
[…] are what you make of them. Last week we told how SurfAholics Alpha team leader Matt Badura has four team-only badges which are used as in-house […]
What a good idea.
