1. THE CONTEST: The contest is a skill-based typing contest, in which
eligible participants will compete by taking a typing test using a typing application to test a participant's word-per-minute typing speed (WPM) as he or she types through a certain paragraph of text. Once the test is completed, the application will calculate and indicate to the participant what his or her typing WPM is and how that speed performs against other participants who have already taken the test. The goal of the Contest is to identify and reward the fastest typist among all Participants, as calculated by the application. 2.
