But.... GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!!

All right so ACowboyKid asked me to post the rules so here it goes:



RULES/GUIDELINES/STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW:

1. NO CHEATING. Seriously people, its not like we're going to hunt you down to find out if your fibbing but if we find out you will be booted from the team. Its pretty lame if you're lying on a little online competition that is aimed to help you. Not to mention you'd only be hurting yourself.

2. WEIGH-INS AND CHECK INS. are Mondays from July 11th to October 24th. So that makes this challenge a 15 week competition which, honestly, is a good amount of time for people to reach their goal weights/goal fitness level/whatever you kids are doing these days.You don't check in one week then you are penalized a pound. If you know you are going away or cannot reply one week please notify your captain of the week or whatever and we'll make sure you'll be excepted. If you go two weeks without a notification sent to a captain then you will be booted off the team.

4. ACCEPTING/NOT ACCEPTING NEW INDIVIDUALS. When the teams reach 15 members each we close the teams. If someone is booted off the team they will be played out to either be dead or zombified in the scenario then we will be more than happy to open up and accept a new member or someone from the waiting list into the spot.

5. GRADING. Seeing as we want this to be fair for all individuals the teams will be graded in a little unusual manner. Members will go off of their own weight loss percentage (so the weight they have lost from their total weight will be added into the teams... er... fat pot). This will account for 50% of the total team's grade. The other 50% will come from the physical challenges (remember people we are preparing for the zombie apocalypse) where each person is able to gain 10 points each week by doing the challenge.

6. CHATTING ON TEAM/MAIN THREADS. Please do so! Make friends. Build a support system. Besides chopping/shooting off imaginary zombie heads that's the fun of this thing. This is not some roleplaying game but this isn't intended to only be something where you talk about zombies either (although always welcome!).

7. CHALLENGES. Our challenges are physical and will last over a weeks period of time and on Monday weigh-ins members must post their challenge results as well. Reporting your progress through out the week is highly encouraged but not required (this might change as time goes on). I'm also currently tossing around the idea of giving a few point bonuses to teams who complete the physical challenges the fastest as a whole. Also we are hoping to make it so challenges will be both a strength challenge for the week and a cardio challenge seeing as both are very important. If you find a challenge to be too easy or too difficult please contact your captain or myself and we can try to modify it to better suit your abilities. As time goes on we will be making the challenges more difficult.

8. WANNA MAKE THIS BETTER? Please, if you guys have any ideas how to make this even better let us know. We might not take your idea but we will definitely love to have some input. I want this to be awesome for you guys and I'm just getting it off the ground so any ideas/tips/etc are more than welcome and greatly appreciated. =]


The rules are also on the original topic!
