Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments SOS’ Seventh Round of Book Shelf Bingo is about to begin!
New and returning players welcome! We hope you will join us for R7!

As many of you already know, Book Shelf Bingo is harder to explain than it is to play. If you are interested, but unsure how to play, please review these threads for more details:

How to: Simplified for the short & sweet version of how the game works; How to: Get Started, Get Playin' & Get Winnin' for detailed instructions on how to play the game; Free Space Rules for rules related to choosing your free space book; and our Q&A thread for answers to some frequently asked questions. You are also welcome to look through the past team threads (in our Archive: Past Team Challenges folder ) to get an idea of how the game flows.

SAVE THE DATES:
Sun, 26 May ~ Sign-up Cut-off Date
Mon, 27 May ~ RSVP Deadline
Sun, 2 June ~ First Shelf Announcement|Round 7 Begins

REMINDERS:
Each player must check-in a minimum of once a week following the shelf announcement. Let your teammates know which book you will be reading. We are understanding of RL issues that may arise throughout the game keeping you from posting, however, this is a TEAM challenge. Your teammates depend on you to participate and communicate with them. Your teammates and I thank you in advance!

There is no way to know in advance how long the game will last. Past rounds have lasted 2.5-4.5 months. The shelves are chosen using random.org, so there is always a chance the game could go on for a shorter or longer time period.

If you wish to play, please follow these steps:
(1) Sign up below stating whether you’d like to be a PLAYER or added to the STAND-BY list [Stand-by players should be prepared to jump in on short notice.]
(2) Go to the BSB R7 Event page and RSVP ‘yes’, if you wish to play or ‘maybe’ if you wish to be put on the stand-by list. NO PM will be sent out, the Event RSVP is your confirmation. An event reminder email will be sent to you one-day before the game begins.

Once all players have RSVP'd, I will randomize everyone and create teams. Please RSVP no later than Monday, 27 May.

Sandra, Judithe, and I are looking forward to joining everyone for R7! Thank you to all the members who participated in the previous rounds!!

Take a day or two to think about it. You have until Sunday to decide. We'd all love for ya to join us, but if ya can't there will be a next time. :)

ETA: If you're good to go until Aug, you may be able to find someone who would tag ya out while you're on holiday and tag ya back in when you return. Just a thought. But, for that to work, your "partner player" would have to be 100% ready to jump in where ever you left off.

Welcome, Melissa! It's very easy to play, but a bit confusing to explain. Let us know if you have any questions.

Interesting idea, Steph.

I did some calculations and I'll be travelling for weeks 10, 11 and 13 of the challenge (the first two on vacation and the third is my yearly business trip to my job's Customer Service center.)

The business trip is not a problem so I should have plenty of time to read there. I should be fine with week 10 as we always travel on a Mon-Tues so I'll have time to read that week's book before I leave.

The problem is week 11 but only if that's the last week of the challenge and my group is in contention.

Let me see if I can find somebody to cover for me. I would only ask if week 11 is the last week and my team can win with that shelf.

message 41: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Makes sense. Sadly, there's no way to know in advance how long the challenge will last. Could be shorter than 10 weeks, could be longer.
