Oh! I finally get how it works. I thought it was the team having more than 7, not individuals. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
Yes that's fine ☺ I do still have a place on a serious team if you'd rather be in a team though ☺

At the moment it looks like we may need to use the points adjustment maths again as one team is a bit disadvantaged.

Last Place. :(

Yay! I rather go solo this time around because I'm rereading a bunch of books this month and those won't count. Thank you (: ~ Although, if the Brown team doesn't mind that I wouldn't mind being placed there.

I don't think we'd mind we are a just for fun team after all. Also several of our members still haven't read a book yet including me so we aren't a hight acheiving team.:P

I'm okay with that (: ~ I've read four books that would qualify including one reread. I'll be reading new books throughout the month of course.

Team Black and Team Pink are the most disadvantaged.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and Silver are all pretty even really.

People with 7 or more boxes have again had their boxes converted to points. I can again confirm that the gold star has not been found...
On another note, everyone on serious teams who has yet to post a review has been contacted to ask if there is a problem, as we are now on day 8, and some teams have several missing members.

You're down members and at a disadvantage to start with because your team on average reads fewer books per year than the other teams. I think we're going to have to start adjusting points to account for the difference again.

You can join Team Black if you would like. They are currently at a massive disadvantage ☺

Teams are fairly even now apart from Team Pink, so adjusting the points moves them up slightly, but doesn't change where every other team is.

Renee wrote: "How were the points adjusted?"
Points are adjusted by dividing the teams current score by the number of books the members of the team have read so far this year, (based on figures from June 29th), and then times that figure by 1000 (to make it a round number). Teams are selected so that each teams number of books read so far this year should be roughly even, to make the teams fair. Currently the pink team are the only team who have a lower number ☺

They're just for fun, but before I added Sharon to the team, because they had such a low total, they would have been in first place on adjusted points. Connie has been reading for England!

Quick warning - I might not be around much tomorrow - I've left all my packing until the last minute, and tomorrow is the last day of school/gymnastics! I'll be off to my parents on friday, and then will have no internet from saturday! Be good for Abbie all of you!

Have fun Sarah! We'll try to be good. lol. :P
