Checked In badge does not count in Facilitator program!

I am very confused by this from support, can @Yugali confirm? If it is the case, please make it more obvious for others in the future...

So it turns out, according to support, Checked in badge only counts to the first 50 people for the arcade point (this makes sense and is explained on the arcade page) and for the facilitator program (this is the part not explained, BEWARE!)...

Getting a badge is not a completion, getting a point is... At least that's what support told me. Absolutely not obvious from this: https://rsvp.withgoogle.com/events/arcade-facilitator/points-system or the arcade website.

 

Can anyone else confirm, this seems completely unintuitive as facilitator program asks for completion of badges, does not mention anywhere that completion means getting a point. Also goes against advice of doing badges before everything else.

I understood your point in your first post itself. I also seen another post of you in another thread on this subject, 

Facilitator rules/terms and conditions clearly say 

Arcade Games

Every month we release 6 new Arcade games that you can complete to earn "Arcade Points" - 3 levelled games, 1 Basecamp Game, 1 Cert Zone Game & 1 Special Game.

So they are considering these six games only for Arcade points. Checked In arcade game not mentioned.

Any way we need to complete only 10 Arcade Games (Apr and May 25)  even for Ultimate milestone.

As per my understanding/interpretation , Checked In games are not for freshers/mid level. 

IF you want to be in Top 50,

You should know Date and time(including fraction of seconds) when Checked In Game will be kept in Arcade Page( I have never seen google sending mail when they update arcade page with new games. Yugali ma'am posts in community after few days/weeks)

You should have high end system and higher bandwidth Internet connection and above all you need SDK kit and premium membership)

Note: Do Checked In (only after completing 6 Arcade Games) Arcade game only for learning . as you know after completing these labs, indirectly these labs are helpful to complete skill badges easily (if you have not completed that labs)

Please free to post your views( you observed good point, your point is they have mentioned only Arcade badge, but important to note , they have clearly listed , six arcade games they consider as part of Facilitator program)  

All the best.
