2. Translate your SQL Server knowledge to Azure SQL.
If you’re already familiar with SQL Server, this championship is a great opportunity to start future-proofing your skills by applying them to SQL on Azure. The Azure SQL Championship will feature three real-world challenges that take participants through a range of essential topics as they answer questions about Azure SQL and submit architectures, which will be reviewed by a judging panel. These examples are designed to help you think through common use-cases and migration scenarios, giving you opportunities to leverage your existing SQL Server expertise in new ways.
3. Win recognition and prizes!
A little competition never hurt anyone! Complete the weekly challenges and daily quizzes to earn bragging rights as you watch yourself climb the leaderboard and compete against other players to earn the top honors. The top contenders will join us on stage at PASS Summit 2021 and have the chance to win other cool prizes, like free PASS Summit conference passes with included travel accommodations, a Raspberry Pi, and more!
