Only people who have earned 7 boxes or more have had their boxes totalled, so if members of your team have picked less than 7 boxes each, their boxes haven't been totalled.

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.

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.


message 313: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Well looking at the scoreboard, I'd say more than just one team is at a disadvantage ;-)

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.

Courtney | 15956 comments Is it okay if I use Scarlet as a reread. I started it about a year ago, but only read 32% through it.


message 318: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12271 comments Can I reread Interview with the Vampire for this? It has been years since i last read it and want to continue the series but I need to reread this and The Vampire Lestat before I do so I can remember what has been going on. Plus I am curious what I think of the books after all these years


message 319: by Joi (new)

Joi | 972 comments Since we're talking about rereads....can I reread Divergent and Insurgent so that I can finally complete the trilogy?

You can join Team Brown, they are one of the teams at a disadvantage ☺

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.

Connie (sunstormsandthunderclouds) | 3978 comments Lol Team Black are doing pretty well considering we're at a disadvantage of being down members :P

message 328: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90931 comments Mod
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.

Connie (sunstormsandthunderclouds) | 3978 comments lol I'm awful at maths and numbers, I'm lucky I can follow along sometimes :P

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.

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Sarah, is black it just for fun team? Or serious team? Just curious, because if they're just for fun they're doing very well! Well shoot if they're serious they're doing very well as well ;-)

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!
