Although my 6th place finish in the main phase of Flight Quest 2 still shows up in my profile, my calculations show that I no longer have any of the points that I earned from this competition. It looks like this happened to everyone else too. Is this just a glitch, or something intentional?</p>",

Although we had intended to have points awarded at the end of the competition with its Final phase, because that was not communicated clearly and the points were not withheld, we have decided to award points for each phase of Flight Quest 2. So the Milestone, Main, and Final phases will award points, with Main and Final awarding double as previously stated. Please expect these changes to take place in the next couple hours.</p>",
