Scoring (TL;DR)

• 1 point = 1 submission to the prize drawing

• 1 Bingo = 5 points (each)

• +1 point for every "documented” square in a bingo (repeatable up to 3 times per square in a bingo - see below for details)

Scoring (Detailed)

• For each point you earn, you will receive one submission to our prize drawing.

• For each bingo you get on the card, you will receive 5 points

• While you do not have to “prove” that you’ve done each item to get a bingo, you can earn extra points by documenting each thing you do.

  • For each documented experience within a completed bingo, you will receive one point.

  • If you do something more than once, you can document it up to three times for additional points!

• Examples of documentation:

  • Photos and videos! Bring your groceries on the bus? Take a photo! Sidewalk ends? Record a video!

  • Screenshots! Did you submit an issue to COTA or 311? Take a screenshot. Have a conversation with a friend about the importance of transit over text or discord? Screenshot (removing names/identifying info is good/fine/encouraged)

  • CC us on an email! If you’re writing to an elected official, CC or BCC info@transitcolumbus.org.

  • Write a reflection! Sometimes you’re not going to be able to document things in the moment, and that’s okay. Take a minute to write a sentence or paragraph (or more if you’d like) about an experience. If you convinced a friend to ride a bus, try writing a quick blurb on how they responded or what their experience was like. If you saw something you’d never noticed before on your walk home, tell us why it stood out to you.

  • Get creative with it! You want to document your experience in some other way? Go for it and have fun.
