Pursue It! Book It! Track It!
For every item you collected over the year, you got one participation point! In any month that you collected all four items, then you got an additional point!
So, the maximum for the year was 60 points, and we had 5 members reach that goal:
Cora
Hannah
Karin
Olivermagnus
Theresa
CONGRATULATIONS!
Everyone else can see their Participation Points in the official scoring spreadsheet and the Admins will get that transferred over to the Participation Points tracker before the next vote.

*I have not yet calculated this one yet (I didn't have the energy to count up continents this evening!), but I will get to it in the next couple of days and add points to people where appropriate.
Congrats to all! It was fun to see everywhere we all went and the bonus reports all made!
What about the mini challenges? Or where those points (I think it was 5 points each) awarded as we went along?

YES, I was referring to the BONUS challenges. There were 5 of them, and I don't see them on the spreadsheet anywhere.
BC, the bonus challenges were calculated as we went along and were already entered into the spreadsheet. With the exception of possibly the last one, which is still to be tallied.
Wow this is awesome. Thank you! It's like getting Frequent Flyer miles.Congratulations everyone!
Great Job Ladies! As Nicole said we are all winners, but those who went "the extra miles" ;) deserve a standing ovation!
Fabulous job! I am impressed with your travel and pursuit skills. Congratulations all!
The two challenges were a lot of fun this past year. Congratulations to our winners!
Congratulations Nancy J , Joy D , Karin and forsanolim. That's a lot a miles.
Congratulations to all the winners! Have fun shopping.
That is a lot of miles, what a wonderful adventure we all went on.
Congrats all! I had so much fun with both of these challenges - Fly the Skies especially, since I read a lot of interesting books from different places.
Thanks! Congrats, NancyJ--what an amazing set of flights you did!
Congratulations to the winners! I have to say I am surprised with how well I did. I didn't think I got as many miles as I did.
Karin wrote: "Thanks! Congrats, NancyJ--what an amazing set of flights you did!"Thanks Karin! Congratulations to you too. Your North Pole- South Pole trip was amazing.
Congratulations to Forsonalim and Joy D as well. You set the pace.
Joy, I know it all came down to one bonus tag at the end. You deserved to win.
I had so much fun, I'm going to all 7 continents again this year. But I won't need a spreadsheet this time. Anyone else?
I really enjoyed this challenge. Congrats to the winners. I hadn't intended to even try to rack up points and I did OK but the main thing was that I felt it would be just fun. This is why a join the challenges - to broaden my perspective - and this worked. Just fun, fun, fun! Thank you to our leaders!
I agree, I finished around the middle, which was just fine. But I'm sure I read more books set around the world than I would have otherwise!
Congratulations to the winners! It was a fun game!

Thank you, Nancy, that's very kind. I did not expect to get as caught up in the competition for miles, but somehow, I just couldn't resist. I am definitely going to hit all 7 continents again this year, and plan to make "reading around the world" a regular part of my process for selecting books.
Congrats to all the top finishers as well as everyone who participated! I am sure we are better off for knowing more about this big world of ours. :-)
Congrats to all! Flying around the world through books was such fun, and had me pulling books from my TBR that had been there too long! I was surprised at how often I was able to match a book from those TBR Towers not only to the country I was visiting but also to monthly tag.I also absolutely loved the 5 bonus challenges. It was such fun both writing mine and reading everyone's imagined, meals, adventures, and return home.

Anna did Feb, Mar, and Sept. She used a separate column, and they show up on the sheet (columns IP, IS, JA)
I did the points that would have shown up in the June tally. I did not use a separate column and just added 5 pts for each person. You were on my list.
The final tally still need to be compiled and added.
I forgot to Congratulate Cora, Hannah, Karin, Olivermagnus, and Theresa for finding every single item in Pursue-It. Some were really hard to find. I'm now in the habit of requesting kindle versions of books I have in print or audio, just in case I want to search for a name or term.
Congratulations to all the winners. It was a fun challenge.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in any capacity! It is our amazing members who make PBT such a fun place to be.
