This year will be a little different. It will not be as heavily focused on "obstacles" as it has in the past. Of course, there will be a few reading challenges that will earn you and your team a few extra points!
Sign ups are open so we are currently accepting Team Leaders, and readers!
- Leaders will be in charge of tallying the teams totals and cheering on their own team! Of course they are also racking in points with reading, they just have a little extra responsibility to keep the totals up to date!
- Readers are just that, readers! You get to rack in your points and make sure to update your own personal post.
Once leaders are assigned, I will get in touch with them and provide them their teams and set up their folder. So no need to worry about that!
Duration
The duration of the race will be from Midnight, January 1st, 2020 through Midnight, April 15th, 2020. So you have fifteen weeks to RACE through your books, pages and points!
The Rules
1. The book must be over 100 pages to count - unless otherwise stated in an obstacle.
2. Any and all formats will be allowed (hard back, large print, paper back, e-books, audio books, graphic novels, manga, etc.)
3. On January 1st at midnight, you can use the book you were currently reading as long as you are 50 pages or less from the start. Likewise, on April 15th at 11:59 p.m., the book must either be completed or within 50 pages of completion to count as your final book!
4. There isn't a minimum or maximum number of books per person - just read as many as you can! Every and all books count towards your teams score!
5. Make sure to keep in contact with your Team lead and update, chat and cheer on your team!
6. You don't have to update exactly when you finish a book, but I will be tallying totals from time to time and updating the Scoreboard, so make sure you are updating it maybe like three-four times a month or so.
The Obstacles
There will be obstacles for the Winter Games. You will get triple the points if the book lands in a 'obstacle' book theme. This year around, there are no team obstacles. These obstacle points are for the individual reader. Please note that this does not have to be an obstacle based game. Your team can purely read whatever they want and rack up points that way!
The Point System - Regular Books
100 pages to 499 pages: 1 point
500 pages to 999 pages: 2 points
1,000 and plus pages: 3 points
The Point System - Obstacle Books
An obstacle read is triple the amount of points for the book. So if it is a 3 point book, and it lands in as an obstacle book - it will be 9 points for the individual reader.
