The Next Steps
Once the BLC Admin accepts your request to join the BLC Group, you will find the BLC Group link in the MFP Community Section under “My Groups”. It may take a couple of days before it shows up.
You can follow all the BLC news on the BLC Group Page including team placements which will be posted the week before the round begins.
The BLC Round 55 challenge runs from May 1st - July 24th. but you don't have to wait! Once you are registered you are welcome to join in on the Break Challenge that is going on now. Just look for the link on the main BLC Group Page.

If you are running into trouble registering then reread the above directions making sure you did not miss a step. If you continue to have problems then contact Grace by first friending her on MFP and then sending a MFP message to @GRACIEC6 (messages do not go through on MFP if you do not friend the person first).

We can't wait for you to become part of the BLC family!
