How to become a top contender?

Question

I was just wondering how does a person become a top contender

Answer 1

One day I saw top contributor  on my avatar the next day it was gone, that has happened several times...so it beats me!

I have enjoyed y/a and the people I have met, so that's what is important to me.

Answer 2

Top Contributor?

Spend waaay too much time here.

Answer 3

Becoming a TC has to do with the amount of "best answers" received in a particular category.Rumor has it that the best answer percentage has to be at least 10% in a particular category in the last 4-6 weeks. And during that time period you must have answered at least 45 questions. You can get the TC badge for up to 3 categories, mouseover any users avatar and you'll find out, in which categories they are most knowledgeable. You may loose this badge again when you get less active or receive less "best answers".
