When is the deadline for sign ups?
Delmy =^.^= wrote: "When is the deadline for sign ups?"Darn copy and paste, I missed a whole paragraph there. I'll re-type it to get the dates up there.
OK I am adding this to the top section. Sign-ups are open until August 23rd 10am MST . Members will not be verified this round. Teams will be posted August 23rd and the first item drawn on August 30th. The challenge will last about 12 weeks with the last item potentially being called on November 15th and final points tallied by November 22nd. The challenge may be shorter depending on the luck of the draw but will be at least 10 weeks. You will be expected by your teammates to read a book a week that fits into this challenge.
I want to play! Sign me up!
I'd love to play again, Sign me up!
I'm definitely in again.
I'll sign up for the back-up list this time.
I'd love to play again. Please sign me up!
I'm in again! One of my favorite challenges ;)
I let my team down last month....so I will do back up if that is okay.
This was sooner than I expected! Count me in!! :)
I will sign up, but, I have to warn you, Im expecting to hear from the hospital about an operation. Im only supposed to be staying in over night, but its on my shoulder, so it will affect my movement, So If I warn you now, and I get the call up, can I have a backup to help out please?

Thanks Dawn!! I love these group challenges.
5 More days to sign up to get placed on a team.
I want a team with no slackers...lol and one I can sleep until noon
Can I be the designated slacker on Lindy's team? lol
No slackers allowed. Real Life getting in the way is different than being a slacker. Sheila is the designated class clown of her future team.
You'll get a team Lindy, don't worry.
LOL Glad you signed up Sheila!

Round 6 Team Scavenger Hunt is coming!
Sign-ups are open until August 23rd 10am MST . Members will not be verified this round. Teams will be posted August 23rd and the first item drawn on August 30th. The challenge will last about 12 weeks with the last item potentially being called on November 15th and final points tallied by November 22nd. The challenge may be shorter depending on the luck of the draw but will be at least 10 weeks. You will be expected by your teammates to read a book a week that fits into this challenge.
General Rules:
◈ A new item will be called every Friday morning, Mountain Standard Time. (I am going to aim to get it posted before I take my daughter to school at 8am.) You can use the time zone converter to determine the time difference between Colorado and your time zone.
◈ Each team member must choose a book to read with the item in the story, on the cover or in the title. All team members pick their own book, it can be the same as other teammates or different. Once all team members have read the book and posted a short review (review must be posted in the thread not a link) the team will receive a point for the item. (Your review must include the weekly item you are reading for, a link to the book, the date you read the book, a 1-5 star level and at least a 2 sentences review then any other items you are claiming) You must start reading the book after the item is called.
◈ Only one book may be claimed for each week of the challenge but up to 4 items may be claimed from a book, (one of which must be the item of the week). Each item must be from a separate category. If a team reads their books right it is possible to get all 40 items in 10 weeks and complete the challenge.
*If an item is called that a player already has claimed a point for, the player must still read the item again to be able to claim extra points for their team. The item can only be counted once by each player, so the previous earned item will be nullified.
* You do not have to finish your book with in the week, but your team will not get the point until you do finish. Your team will not get bonus points if you do not finish in the week.
◈The items are separated into 4 groups: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. While you can claim 4 items a week you can only claim 1 item per list, per weekly book claimed.
◈ Books must be at least 180 pages or equivalent. Anthologies do count but the review must include each short in the book. Audiobooks & e-books are acceptable.
◈ Team size will depend on the amount of people who sign up. All team members are expected to post updates multiple times a week. An acknowledgement of the posted item and a book review should be done each week, as well as conversing with your team. If you can’t commit to reading a book a week that applies to this challenge please don’t sign up.
*If a player fails to post after 5 days (with exception to pre-arranged absences), the remaining team players can vote to bring in a sub and remove the
non-participating player. Any player falling 2 weeks behind in their reading may also be replaced by the team. Substitute players will be allowed to claim any items not yet read by the removed player, in books they have read since unfound items were called. (Sub players will have 7 days after their induction to the game to claim any bonus items)
◈ The item list will be posted soon, you can start looking for books to read for the challenge as soon as it is up, but no reading until the challenge starts.
◈ Bonus Items are back! Along with the item from the 4 main categories a bonus word will be called each week. While the main item can be claimed any time after it is called, the bonus item must be claimed before the next week’s item is called to get points. If only half the team claim the item (ie 2 of 4 or 3 of 5) the team will get .5 points. If the whole team gets the bonus item then the team will get 1 point. There are a total 40 regular items and up to 12 bonus items (depending on game length). The bonus Items will be randomly chosen from previous rounds words.
◈ Winning will be determined by the fist team to 50 points. You do not necessarily have to have all 40 items to get to 50 points as there are 12 bonus points available through the course of the game.
◈ New Twist~ Through random selection at one point through the game between week 5 and 10 a SUPER-BONUS will be drawn. The SUPER-BONUS will allow each player to claim an extra item that week. Each player can decide from which category they want their extra item to be in. The whole team does not have to be the same.
Please sign up as a full time player or back up here. Feel free to ask any questions too.
