THOUGHT I WOULD COPY TO CLEAR UP ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS

WOBBLE: Olympics > Event 1: Title Relay
Event 1 : Title Relay

Work as a team to Relay books to each other as you race towards the finish. Titles of books must have no fewer than 2 words. Work with your team to relay titles along from player to player.

To mark Title Relay as √ COMPLETE:
--- Team must finish Heats 1 & 2 per rules to mark this event √ COMPLETE
To move on to NEXT Olympic Event:
--- Team must finish Heat 1 prior to beginning books for Event 2: Page Jumping

Title Relay Heats:
Heat 1:
leg 1: Title Relay of THREE books
leg 2: Title Relay of FIVE books
leg 3: Title Relay of SEVEN books

Heat 2:
leg 1: Title Relay of THREE books
leg 2: Title Relay of FIVE books
leg 3: Title Relay of SEVEN books

Heat 3: (Bonus Round)
Title Relay of FIFTEEN books

Heat 4: (Bonus Round)
Title Relay of TWENTY books

Rules of Title Relay:

Follows General Rules of Wobble Event
▲ Heat 1 must be completed prior to moving on to Event 2: Page Jumping
No books may be STARTED for any other Olympic Event until Heat 1 of Title Relay is COMPLETED!
▲ Heat 2 must also be completed to consider Event 1: Title Relay √ COMPLETE
▲ If any Olympics game is not considered √ COMPLETE, then teams may not work on any BONUS Rounds
▲ Heats 3 & 4 are BONUS ROUNDS and may only be started after all other Olympic Events (1-5, all parts to "complete" tasks) are COMPLETE.
Heat 3 OR 4 OR both may be attempted. Points for bonus rounds only valid after 10 books
▲ Books for all 3 legs of Heats 1 & 2 may be started/read at the same times.
You should not wait for a leg to be completed before starting the next.
▲ ALL Members MUST read at least 1 book in Heat 1 OR 2.
Book 1 of required 3 books for Olympic 3 week event
▲ One member PER Leg maximum for Heat 1.
One member may read for each Leg of Heat 1, but only once per leg.
At minimum, 7 members may read for Heat 1
▲ Any number of members may read for Heat 2 (and Bonuses) as long as ALL members have read at least 1 book.
▲ Members, however, CANNOT relay back to back, at minimum they must read every other book.
▲ Can NOT exclude A, And, The. Titles starting with A, And, The can only be used if the previous book ended with A, And or The.
▲ Word MUST be exact (no adding of plurals, or be "part" of a different word).
▲ Each leg of the heat starts new and should begin with a NEW relay word.
Do not start the 2nd leg with the word that ends the 1st leg.
▲ Books do NOT need to be read in order, but you only get points for books in order.
For example, If you are trying to read a 5 book relay of: Another Day / Day After Night / Night Heat / Heat it Up / Up Up Up and you do not read "Night Heat" by the end of the Olympics round (July 21st) then your team will only receive 10 points for the first 2 books read, and no points for reading Heat it Up or Up Up Up, and nothing for the 7 book relay.

these are 2 other quick books that could make nice chains.

i think that everyone that hasn't claimed a spot yet should just thrown out some books and then we can plan the chains and maybe other legs. As I have also been spying and some teams have planned out the whole olympics already.

Good morning all. So happy for the long weekend. Planning to just relax, catch up on some movies and read a little. Hope everyone hasa good day.

Challenge wise I think we should work on some more chains to help with planning. Remember we all need to read a book for the first 2 heats.

Finished fantasy book and it was horrible very disappointed with Christine Feehan and her dum ass alpha males and doormat sheep. Urgh !!!

It would probably be easier.

If anyone can find Lottery Boy it is a young adult book. All copies are out in my library.

Rules state that everyone needs to read a book.

I think that Cindy is right about changing links around if someone can find book beginning with Gift.

"The Baker's Destiny* Daughter of Destiny * Destiny Gift" works as a chain according to the rules? Shouldn't it be The Baker's Destiny - Destiny Gift - Gif..."

Its the baker's daughter that laura posted.

do we only need 3 links for the leg. wait let me go back and read rules.

okay yes one leg planned.

The Baker's Daughter - Daughter of Destiny - Destiny Gift

Darkest Before Dawn by Maya Banks is the next book I have on my TBR pile. Hoping to fit that into the relay somehow.

Olympic rules are up on team air chatter. This looks like it will take some planning as we have to work as a team. Should we start planning books or what ?

Hope to finish my fantasy book and that will be all for battleship.
