Watch for the spreadsheet tomorrow. I will include a sample spreadsheet so you can see how to keep track.
Thanks!0 -
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!0

Excellent. . . Butterflies Breaking Free. . . are ready to rumble! . . .Thanks for the new challenge Gary!0

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)

Could some of the experienced Captains share with us newbie Captains the simplest way to keep track of the points?
I found that it was easiest if team members either A. Posted on the forum or B. PMed me.. It was too hard to keep track when they were posting 5 different ways, so I made a standard that all weigh-ins should be PMed and all daily challenges should be posted on the board for Sept.
I also made a standard this month that I would not be chasing down members. IF they did not report they got an automatic zero and it hurt the team. I think towards the end you will find that people are slacking off and not participating as much, this last week I have had a total of 8 of my 21 members participating.
Just remember that it's a challenge, and you will have people coming and gong and have some people that are impossible to get a hold of..0 -
Bump. Need to hear about how the days are going to work with the 1st being Thursday.0
-
I am a new captain as well. This will be a great month, good luck everyone. I am also curious aout start dates, and look forward to receiving the information from gary.0

New captain here. Hope this isnt crazy difficult to keep track of a group of all newbies.
Looking forward to lots of fun and of course some serious smack talk.....
......... I pity the fool who messes with us!!0 -

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!
2- Also how about the last Saturday it falls on the Oct 1st does it count to complete that 4th week?
Answer.....
Jorden,
I corrected the daily schedule to accomodate the short week. I dont' know what I was thinking.
The last day will definitely be Sept. 29th. We will take the rest of the weekend off and Start fresh for October on that Monday!
I hope that helps!0 -

Help! I am having trouble getting my team's banner to work as a signature. I'd love to know what the heck I'm doing wrong!
This is the embed code (or whatever) that I'm trying use: (which, strangely enough, isn't showing up). I've changed the IMG to all lowercse but that still doesn't work.
this is the link to the graphic on my picasa web album:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/N3bZM6Ud_ySRFSfo3e__7Q?feat=directlink
this is the crazy embed code that Picasa is giving me:
<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/N3bZM6Ud_ySRFSfo3e__7Q?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-y7dDVmEw8pg/TlhGDhbJFOI/AAAAAAAAEQY/xcLEO-ZGpkk/s144/Victorious%2520vixens.jpg" height="144" width="96" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/kim.winson/BlogPhotos?authuser=0&feat=embedwebsite">blog photos</a></td></tr></table>

Hi Gary,
Thank you once again for sending me the PM this afternoon! I super appreciate it.
I sent you my team roster, the team name, and my external email address about 6pm tonight...I sent it both as a reply to your PM and also to the mfpchallenges AT gmail DOT com address. I am sure that you are crazy busy right now! Just wanted to post a shout out here on the forum just in case neither of the above went through.
My Team roster:
Team Name: Victorious Vixens
Team roster:
1. kdoak87
2. Mios3
3. Mrivera713

**I accidentally overlooked tigersmoondiva's response when I was getting the team together, so I feel honor-bound to include her in the team. I figure someone will drop out or I just won't count my points. I'll do what I have to do to make it work.
My real name is Kim Winson, my external email address is kim DOT winson AT gmail DOT com (no spaces, of course). Please note that there is no "t" in my last name.
Cheers,
