5. Participant with an entry which correctly identifies the highest-priced .Asia domain name and its winning price (or closest to the winning price) in the auction will be considered a qualifier.  A qualifier needs to correctly answer a trivia question related to domain appraisal knowledge in order to win the contest.  If a qualifier fails to answer or incorrectly answers the question, s/he will lose the contest.  The next qualifier in line (who submitted an entry with the next closest price) will then be asked a trivia question for his/her chance to win the contest.  This process will continue until a winner is produced.
6. If there are multiple entries that are equally close to the winning price of the highest-priced domain, there will be multiple qualifiers, which would be considered semi-finalists.

If there are more than five (5) semi-finalists, DotAsia will send to all semi- finalists, via email, a trivia question related to domain appraisal knowledge.  Semi-finalists who fail to answer the question correctly or fail to respond in time will be eliminated.  Additional rounds of trivia questions will be run until five (5) or less semi-finalists remain.  Remaining semi-finalists will be considered finalists.
8. Finalists will be invited to a real-time Q&A session to determine the winner. Questions will be related to DotAsia and domain name appraisal.  Details of the Q&A will be furnished later.
