    Quick question....were the team captains supposed to receive an email from Gary in the past few days? If so..I haven't.....I've already emailed Gary with my tram name, roster, and my external email....not sure if it got lost in the shuffle...

    From Gary : Our tribal rules

    RAISING OUR IN SEPTEMBER AND WE’RE ! SPEARS GOING TRIBAL
    Welcome and thank you so much for being a team captain for this MFP Challenge. I believe this is one
    of the largest MFP Challenges to date and it’s all made possible by you! You folks really are ROCKSTARS!
    If a team member is unable to fulfill their place a replacement can be made please update me with the
    information.
    September 1st Deadline
    • Make sure you have contacted each team member and given them your forum post link
    • Obtain everyone’s starting weight as of September 1
    st
    or the night before
    • Post the weekly challenges to your team forum prior to September 1 st and prior to each week
    • End of the week tally your teams points (this can be done daily if easier)
    • Add Bonus Points at the end of the week where applicable
    The scoring is as follows. I hope this is simple. If you have questions I’ll answer them for you.
    • 1 point for each pound lost per team member
    • 1 point for each team member who does their daily exercise challenge (1 point per member)
    • 1 point for the other weekly challenges (water intake, staying under calories etc.) Each week
    different challenge per member
    • (you will put 1 in the excel spreadsheet)
    • BONUS POINTS
    o Daily Exercise – If every team member logs the daily exercise as doing it for all 6 days
    Mon – Sat. You may award your TEAM an extra 5 points
    o Weekly Challenges – if every team member log the weekly challenge as doing it for all 6
    days Mon – Sat. You may award your TEAM an extra 5 points


    Each week you will email me your Team Name and your total points! This is all honor based so please
    be honest and encourage your team to be honest.
    That’s it. The next email coming later this weekend will be the team challenges. Let’s Step It UP in

    Kim this is what I have and posted on my thread today

    Also FYI From Gary:

    I will send out the list of Week 1's challenges by Monday. Hopefully sooner. There will be 2 levels of challenges. A basic low impact workout and an advanced (BUSHMEN) high impact workout. Encourage your people to mix and match if they so choose.

    I hope this helps.... Jorden

    Bump... to keep in my topics. I still haven't received any rules for September challenge. Is there a spreadsheet format to start with or do I create my own?

    I'm a little confused about when we are starting. Sept 1 is a Thursday, and it was stated previously that the day of rest would be Sundays. Since the exercises posted are for 7 days, it appears we go Thursday-Wednesday for these, with Wednesday being the day of rest? I just want to make sure I have this right. Thanks!

    Hey fellow Captains,
    Have others not heard from Gary at all? I keep PM'ing him from his profile but I'm not hearing anything back....I've got team members who are getting antsy that our team may not be registered. I figure he's completely swamped but I'm wondering if I'm going about contacting him the wrong way? I always include the "TRIBAL SEPT CHALLENGE" in my subject lines...so....not sure what else I should/could be doing?

    Cheers,
    Kim (maroon98)
