PM Wars at PMI Global Conference 2018 pitches you head to head against other PMs in a test of your Project Management knowledge!
This tournament will be conducted using a single elimination style bracket where the most knowledgeable PMs will advance. You'll have 90 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. You get +2 points for a correct answer and -1 for a wrong answer. You are allowed to skip questions, but only three times.
The tournament rounds will be played on Saturday, 6 October and Sunday, 7 October, culminating in a final battle on Sunday, 7 October to determine whose PM knowledge stands above the crowd! Prizes will be granted for first and second place:
- Echo Smart Speaker with Alexa
- Fitbit Charge 2
NOTE: Participants must be in attendance at Global Conference and able to compete in their chosen or assigned time slots. Anyone not able to compete at their time(s) will forfeit their competition and the other PM will advance.

Hi Kimberly, this is a great initiative. I won't be attending but would you mind keeping us posted with the final results ?
On another note, why don't you do another tournament online too during Virtual Conferenes ? Wouldn't that be a great idea ?
Kimberly is all over it. The tournament board is all drawn up! With no help from my in-process review
Update: Finally I didn't participated, but I stopped by to see how it was going.
@Rami if I remember correctly Emily L. posted a picture of it.
