R5: Team Scavenger Hunt Rules & Discussion
General Rules:◈ A new item will be called every Friday morning, Mountain Standard Time. (I am going to aim to get it posted before I take my daughter to school at 8am.) You can use the time zone converter to determine the time difference between Colorado and your time zone.
◈ Each team member must choose a book to read with the item in the story, on the cover or in the title. All team members pick their own book, it can be the same as other teammates or different. Once all team members have read the book and posted a short review (review must be posted in the thread not a link) the team will receive a point for the item. (Your review must include the weekly item you are reading for, a link to the book, the date you read the book, a 1-5 star level and at least 2 sentences then any other items you are claiming) You must start reading the book after the item is called.
◈ Only one book may be claimed for each item of the week of the challenge but up to 4 items may be claimed from a book, (one of which must be the item of the week). If a team reads their books right it is possible to get all 40 items in 10 weeks and complete the challenge.
*If an item is called that a player already has claimed a point for, the player must still read the item again to be able to claim extra points for their team. The item can only be counted once by each player, so the previous earned item will be nullified.
* You do not have to finish your book with in the week, but your team will not get the point until you do finish.
◈The items are separated into 4 groups: Home Furnishings, Animals, Food and Architectural. While you can claim 4 items a week you can only claim 1 item per list, per weekly book claimed.
◈ Books must be at least 200 pages or equivalent. Anthologies do count but the review must include each short in the book. Audiobooks & e-books are acceptable.
◈ Team size will depend on the amount of people who sign up. All team members are expected to post updates multiple times a week. An acknowledgement of the posted item and a book review should be done each week, as well as conversing with your team. If you can’t commit to reading a book a week that applies to this challenge please don’t sign up.
*If a player fails to post after 5 days (with exception to pre-arranged absences), the remaining team players can vote to bring in a sub and remove the non-participating player. Any player falling 2 weeks behind in their reading may also be replaced by the team. Substitute players will be allowed to claim any items not yet read by the removed player, in books they have read since unfound items were called.
◈ The item list will be posted soon, you can start looking for books to read for the challenge as soon as it is up, but no reading until the challenge starts.
*New Twist
Bonus Items!!!
> Along with the item from the 4 main categories a bonus word will be called each week. While the main item can be claimed any time after it is called, the bonus item must be claimed before the next week’s item is called to get points.
>If only half the team claim the item (ie 2 of 4 or 3 of 5) the team will get 1 point . If the whole team gets the bonus item then the team will get 2 points.
>There are a total 40 regular items and 12 bonus items so a perfect team score would be 64.
>The bonus Items will be randomly chosen from previous rounds words.
◈ Instead of first to finish the winners will be determined by highest points, in the event of a tie then first to finish will break the tie.

Ok, bear with me for the new twist as I am sure there will be kinks to work out. > Along with the item from the 4 main categories a bonus word will be called each week.

Let me know if you have questions about the new twist, and hopefully we can work out kinks before the game starts.
