Hey everybody,
I just watched the recording with the new Skool Game rules. Here's a AI summary for you:
Major Changes for 2025:
- Quarterly challenges instead of monthly (90 days vs 30 days) to better measure real business growth and retention
- Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 format
- Longer timeframe better reflects true business building
- Churn is now factored into metrics
- New $100/month price limit for School Games competition
- Max price to compete is $100/month ($1,200/year)
- Higher prices will be counted as $100 for leaderboard purposes
- Based on data showing lower-priced communities have better retention
- Six distinct categories to give all niches a chance
- Business
- Hobbies
- Music
- Health
- Personal Development
- Affiliates
- Top 5 in each category win (30 winners total)
- New prize structure
- All winners get all-expenses-paid trip to LA event
- Professional award ceremony at School HQ
- Custom metal trophy with winner's name engraved
- Quarterly events featuring successful creators sharing strategies
Upcoming Features:
- Affiliate system launching in Q1 2025 (Feb-March timeframe)
- New map feature showing community member locations
- More global meetup opportunities
New Focus:
- Emphasis on building sustainable communities rather than short-term gains
- Greater transparency in showing both growth and churn
- Focus on passion and long-term community building over quick money
- Platform reducing ad spend by 90% to focus on quality growth
Past winners can still compete, and it's possible to win multiple quarters if maintaining/growing MRR. The new system aims to reward sustainable business building over short-term tactics.
