Coaches, if you completed all the lines of the Timed Research quests, then you will automatically receive a special Throwback Challenge Champion 2020 quest, and if you missed at least one of them, you can buy a ticket and get access to a special Throwback Challenge Celebration 2020.
If you have access to the Challenge Champion quest, you can still buy a ticket for the Challenge Celebration. In this case, you will have access to both quest lines, Challenge Champion and Challenge Celebration.
