So far, four Mega Stones have received repeat contests for participants who may not have acquired them before. These repeat contests did not use a time limit, instead using a move-limited setup. Therefore, players could take their time and plan their strategy without being rushed, which in turn could provide for higher scoring with a good strategy. The ranking range also is generally increased for these runs, allowing more players the opportunity to place and obtain the prize. Ranking would obtain the player the Mega Stone, with past winners in the ranking acquiring two Jewels. A one Jewel participation prize is still given to non-placing players. It should be noted that, during the Venusaur re-release, players only received the Jewel if they placed and already had the stone, and a Disruption Delay if you didn't place at all.
