BBR Awards were introduced in February of 2004. An award is based on the good bad ugly charts of company performance, charts that we produce weekly. These are based entirely on user reviews. There are three levels of award.

1. BBR Gold
The average review score for the current good-bad-ugly chart is over 80%, and the average score for the chart five months ago was also over 80%.

2. BBR Silver
The average review score for the current good-bad-ugly chart is over 70%, and the average score for the chart five months ago was also over 70%. OR, the company is new and has gained an average score for the current chart of over 80%.

3. BBR Bronze
The average review score for the current good-bad-ugly chart is over 60%, and the average score for the chart five months ago was also over 60%. OR, the company is new and has gained a current good-bad-ugly chart score of over 70%.

In order for the current, or past, good bad ugly score to be considered, there must have been more than 10 reviews received and incorporated into the score.

We think these awards fairly represent current and recent opinion on a company, but we urge you as an informed consumer to do your own research, including but not limited to reading the recent reviews we have received. Pay attention to the pedigree of the member (are they a regular user of the site?) and whether the review sounds bland or is just too good to be true. An award is no guarantee that your experience with a company will be stellar.
