Got a tower together of rainbow colours? Start a new rainbow! At the end of TT each team can receive points for each complete rainbow tower.
You can also receive bonus points for creating a tower with all 18 colours. You can only do this once for bonus points.

A bonus 200 points for creating a tower with all 18 colours (so a total of 300 points. You can do this once during TTX)
2. Crayola Towers

Some examples under spoiler
(view spoiler)
◈ Each book read can only be used for one task.
◈ Books used for your core tower of 223 books can also be used for this mini.
◈ Books can be started at any point since the start of Tower Teams X (May 1)
◈ The usual Tower Team book length rules apply
SPELL-IT-OUT RULES
Spell out the word(s) using the first letter in the book's title, the first letter in the author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name, or the first letter of the series name.
As always, if the first letter of a title starts with an indefinite or definite article ('A', 'An', 'The', etc.), you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word.
If the first letter of a title is a numerical digit, then you use the first letter of that digit for your spell out (i.e. 1984 is N; 2046 is T; 1Q84 is O)
If you are listening to an audiobook, the first letter in the narrator's first or last name also can be used.
We're also allowing for Translators names, as long as the edition you are reading is a translation version.
