Didn’t advance? Don’t despair
Even if you don’t advance, you’re still in the game! Keep recruiting through May 31 to win these additional prizes.
- All participants earn $100 for each new member they recruit who enrolls in the ROII program or BIAW Health Trust by May 31.
- All registered recruiters scoring five (5) points total throughout the competition receive an exclusive invitation to the BIAW Recruiter Reception at the 2025 International Builders Show, whether they advance through the brackets.
Rules of the Game
- Eligibility: All recruiters must have an active NAHB membership.
- Enrollment Deadline: Recruiters must enroll or be enrolled by local staff by March 5, 2024.
- Bracket Challenge: BIAW will place enrolled recruiters in a randomized bracket, and top recruiters will advance each month.
- Scoring: Recruiters receive one point for each builder and associate new member recruited.
- Three-pointer: Score a three-pointer by encouraging your recruit to complete an ROII inquiry form and health insurance quote. Recruiters receive a base point for the member, a point for the member joining ROII and a third point for the member joining BIAW’s health insurance program. Recruited members must successfully enroll in each program by May 31 for recruiters to receive bonus point payouts.
- Jump ball: If there’s a tie, we’ll look at bonus points or total recruits in previous month to determine who advances.
- Live Tracking Note: Due to NAHB reporting delays, “live tracking” will lag by about half a month, so recruiters should aim for monthly excellence.
- No Point Combining: Participants may not combine points with other participants.
- Winners Announcement: Winners will be announced in June and at the Summer BOD meeting.
