It looks like some teams checked it off but some haven't ..."

If you don't check the box then the formula for the 80 points won't kick in, so you should do that :)

We are in the final stretch!!

Nothing special. Just be aware that column D won't populate which is ok

Day 1 DQs: Chapter 1 – Chapter 5

(Lexi is in the wilds doing her thing, and sent these ahead of time to avoid the dodgy internet risk)

1. Have you ever read any books by this author before? What drew you to read this book?
2. How does the book’s setting on an island influence the story so far? Would you want to visit?
3. What do you think of the use of ghosts as a narrative strategy, in general and in this book?
4. Do you have a favorite character yet? Why?
5. Finally do any of the marshmellow food items sound worth eating or do they seem a bit much? Does where you live have any famous food items?

WHEEL WINNERS PRIZES

Two very exciting prizes are available to
1. The overall winning team
2. The team with the most participation in the BOMs

The overall winning team will be invited to pick the theme for our next team challenge. Before anyone starts cheering for WOBBLE return, that is NOT on the table, as even the Chipmunks of Creativity and Chaos can learn to spot danger now! However it does mean creative input into things like team names and designing mini-challenges. It is a team prize, so we'd invite all team members to an innovation lab for the challenge; it is entirely optional - team members do not have to participate if they don't want, but the prize isn't transferrable.

The team that has the most participation in the two BOMs (Nov Theme and Dec Adult) running during this challenge will get to pick either a shortlist of books to be voted on for the Adult / Non-Fiction BOM (probably February or March, depending on timings) OR to pick a theme and shortlist for the Themed BOM. Shortlist means at least 5 and no more than 8 books on the list. Standard BOM nominations rules will still apply.

Participation means answering at least three sets of DQs for each BOM. If at least half your team participates in a BOM then you will get a participation boost of 1.5. If all your team participates in a BOM then you will get a double boost! (e.g. if a team is 8 players and all 8 participate in BOM1 and 4 in BOM2 they'd get 8*2 points for BOM1 and 4*1.5 points for BOM2)

Notes: The participation in BOMs does not generate additional points for the team, just adds to the record for winning the BOM prize.
For this, you can still gain participation credits even if you don't use the book in your spell out. In order to gain the credit you must have started the BOM during Nov 2022, and finish them by the end of the challenge.
