R4: Team Scavenger Hunt Rules & discussion

You can't read for a team mate, everyone carries thier own weight. Once you have all 32 items you can read along the next week with your team and cheer thme on, but you don't have to read as you can only get 32 points.
I think this round should only take one more item. But that all depends on how the last few items go.
Dawn are you saying that you think the last item could be called this week?
Jenne wrote: "Dawn are you saying that you think the last item could be called this week?"I was more refering to that some people will be able to be done with thier reading after 1 more item. While others will need at least 2 items.
It is possible for a team to finish with 1 more item. There are a few teams that are still a few items behind that if they were all caught up and the right item called they could win. But most teams will need at least 2 items for everyone to be able to get all thier points.
Dawn~I got a question. What happens when you have two categories completed like Weather and Clothing? Can you use more items out of other two categories to finish?

So once you have all 8 from a catergory you just won't need to claim items from thos catergories, unless it is called. So if you have weather and clothing done and a body part or misc item is called you only need to claim 2 items. If a weather item was called you would need to claim 3 items.
Okay that clears things up for me and thank you!
Dawn, I was wondering up until when it's okay to change the items I've claimed. My review for last week is up, but our team hasn't claimed the point yet. Is there a rule about switching items?
Now that we are getting close to the end. How does it work if a couple members of the team have their spreadsheet filled in. Do they still have to read books for the item called so that their team mates can get credit for their remaining items?

In past rounds it wasn't an option.

The only reason players are reading books they have already claimed is to be able to claim the extra 3 items. If you already have all of them you wouldn't need to get those extra 3 points.
Dawnn --can you skip a category for a week? as long as you get the word of the week

Yes, you only have to claim the word of the week. All others are optional. It is up to 3 others, thier not required.

thx just wanted to make sure
Dawn is it possible a team could go out this week?
I don't think so. I think it had to be toe, tail or fruit.
Melanie wrote: "Would berry pie work for fruit?"Yeah, it doesn't matter what kind of berry, thier all fruit.

Would apple crate be acceptable as fruit?

Yes.

Yes

Is there apples in the crate. If it is just a box I think no.
Would apple blossoms work for fruit?
Angie ~aka Reading Machine~ wrote: "Would apple blossoms work for fruit?"Apple blossoms would be the flower, not the ruit. Sorry.
Yipes! So with this new point submission a team snuck past me. We could have a winner this week. I will still post an item on Friday though just in case, and for 2nd & 3rd place.
Quick question, Is the winner going to be determined by the team that finishes first or the team that posts for points first?
Jenne wrote: "Quick question, Is the winner going to be determined by the team that finishes first or the team that posts for points first?"
Posts for points first.
I got question:What if we already got the point for rainbow? Do we post like the point isn't there?
Angie ~aka Reading Machine~ wrote: "I got question:What if we already got the point for rainbow? Do we post like the point isn't there?"If you have less than 32 points yes, you will act like you didn't already claim rainbow. If a player already has 32 points they don't need to be included in your team submission.
No winners yet, who will be first... will there be a winner today?
Dawn just checking out the competition lol, when was the last time you updated the spreadsheet?
Last updated when I posted the item this morning. But I see some new point requests so I am off to go update those...
Very glad I did. We have a 1st place winner! Nine Lives of Books
In the past I've posted gold, silver and bronze ribbons and a boobie prize. The boobie prize always being the favorite. I've opted to give out a Gold boobie prize.
Here's some Gold book boobies for team 9!
Gold:
Congrats team 9!Will there be a 2nd and 3rd place winner?

Yes, there should be at least two more teams that can finish this week.

Or do you just have to keep "substituting" with new books and just get 1 point/item?
