    • There are three residential groups and one mechanical group.
    • The top five in each group will earn a trip.
    • Each participating dealer/contractor will be placed in a group of peers and assigned a quota based on % of qualifying purchases of the previous 18 month. Each participant will be ranked by percentage of current qualifying purchases against the quota.
