Our Upside Down challenge for January is back and sign ups openJanuary 2024 Upside Down Individual Challenge
r
r
Summer is upon us in the Southern hemisphere and we invite you to get a bit topsy turvy, upside down, and jumbled up joining this challenge for one month only;
from 1 January 2024 - 31 January 2024
This is an Individual challenge, but you are playing for:
>Meeting your own goal of books read (a minimum of 3 for the month, there is no maximum)
>Points against everyone else who signs up. (you may wish to have a friendly side competition with those with equivalent book goals!)
IMPORTANT
You will need to be able to access and edit Google Sheets to join this challenge. We will give you a template, but you need to use it to track your books and your points.
We work on an honour system, so we are not asking you to submit your spreadsheets for review, but all sheets need to be accessible for viewing by all players.
ABOUT
Sign up using this form: https://forms.gle/1GevtUBeEyg2DhhD7
and we will send you a google tracking sheet that you will use to track your challenge. This will feed into a main tracking sheet here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
that will track the points of all players.
Sign ups close on January 6, 2024.
1. HOW TO PLAY
You are given a list of tasks to choose from for January here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
that have points allocated to them as 10, 20, 50 or 100. It is up to you which tasks you decide to cover in the month, but you must choose a minimum of one 100 point and two 50 point tasks.
Each task can only be completed once.
2. POINTS TRACKING
Players are responsible for tracking their own points by using the Google Sheet template provided. (Once you sign up we create you an individual sheet to enter your books)
This will feed into the overall tracking spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
3. BOOK REQUIREMENTS
Books must be started on or after 8am, January 1st, 2024, AEDST to count for this challenge. Click here for the countdown: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...
All books must be read by 11.59pm, January 31, 2024 AEDST (countdown: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...)
Re-reads are ok provided it has been more than 6 months since you last read the book.
The minimum page requirement is 100 pages unless a task specifies differently.
Unless otherwise specified in the task, (some lower point tasks will allow this) the following books can NOT be used:
* Comic / Graphic / Magna
* Cookbooks
* Textbooks
* Travel Guides
* Poetry
* Poems
* Childrens / Middle Grade novels and plays/screenplays can only be used where you can verify the word count through AR BookFind as 25,001 words or more. If you can't verify it with that site, you can check if audible or overdrive has the unabridged version as more than 3 hours. If you can't verify either, then you can't use it (unless the specific task says you can)
