Scoring
There will be two different types of scoring during the course of this phase (but don't worry), I'll be doing it all.
Predictive Points
Prior to starting the challenge, I will ask all the participants to select which 2 themes from each group they think will move on to the knock-out round.
At the end of this round, I will rank the themes and assign points for those people who successfully predict which books will go through to the next round. 2 points you successfully predict position (1st/2nd); 1 point if you pick it to move through
Completed Books
You will also get points assigned for books completed - 1 point per book read.
Example: This is a sample group that I am assigned to read (I have not yet done the assignments)
Group A
1. Vampire
3. Regency
2. GLBT
5. Ghost
4. Space Opera
*the numbers next to the themes are MY rankings
At the end of reading, I have them ranked as:
1. GLBT
2. Regency
3. Vampire
4. Ghost
5. Space Opera
*Because I managed to pick that GLBT would move through to the next round, I would get 1 point, however, I picked it 2nd, and it was 1st, so I only get the 1 point.
Plus 5 points for finishing my books - so I would have 6 points for this group
Then for the other groups (that I don't read), I pick the 2 themes I think will go through - the same scoring with apply for the picks, there would just be no points for books complete.
