Each week there are cash prizes for teams that sell the most as well as an overall prize for the team having the highest final sundae tally. The last place team for the week is on “Redemption Island.”  By the next week, if they improve their standing and are no longer in last place for the week, they will win a bonus prize.

In addition to the regular competition, there will be several special features this year. The first, a buy now, eat later coupon, will allow the class to get the sale now, while the purchaser can redeem the coupon later. The coupons are valid until June 30.

Super Sundaes will have reward challenge days on Thursday, March 8 and Wednesday March 14. On these days you can purchase one of the survivor sundaes or create your own and have it count towards the class of your choice.

The shop will have an immunity challenge on Tuesday, March 20 and Wednesday March 21. In addition to the $1, the team will earn one point for each of their Survivor Sundaes sold. These points are added to the total number pf sundaes sold to determine the Final Sundae Tally Total.
