ONE - START HERE - 2015 - Readathon Four Date: August 22nd, 2015 - 8AM to Noon - Check-In - CHECKPOINT ONE - FIRST CHECK IN

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Guys, for even the Pacific Time Zone - this Checkpoint is closed.

For anybody in Hawaii and French Polynesia - it is still open.

Make sure to complete your templates above for Checkpoint One.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Also make sure that you have signed into all checkpoints - One through Six that correspond to your timezone and where you are in the world. For those in the Eastern Standard Timezone we are now in Checkpoint Three - for other parts of the world you are on Checkpoints Five or even Checkpoint Six - for the Pacific Time Zone - you should be on Checkpoint Two right now.

And everybody no matter if you do one check in checkpoint or six check in checkpoints (One through Six) - everybody must check out and that is Checkpoint Seven - the only check out thread.

Marietta - right now based upon the time in Malaysia - you should be on Checkpoint Six - and then you need to do the Check Out Template which is found on the Checkpoint Seven thread - which is the only Check Out thread.

I am not sure if you got confused. But each checkpoint is assigned to a four hour block - so check in One was for reading done from 8AM until Noon (August 22nd), check in Two was for reading done from Noon to 4PM (August 22nd), check in Three was for reading done from 4PM until 8PM (August 22nd), Check in Four was for reading done from 8PM until Midnight (August 22nd), Check in Five was for reading done from Midnight until 4AM (August 23rd) and Check In Six was for reading done from 4AM until 8AM on August 23rd. Then no matter if you did all six check ins and read for the full 24 hours or even just one hour within one check in - you still need to do the Check Out on Checkpoint Seven which is the mandatory Check Out.

I only see the Check In so far for Check In One - I will check the others. And I do not see you on Check In - Checkpoint Six which would coincide with the time in Malaysia right now so I am suspecting that you have finished reading and are done for the night. If so when you get up make sure to do your tallies and do Checkpoint Seven and the template that you will find there to get credit for the readathon. You will get the hang of it and we are here to help you - just ask any questions that you have.

This is the link for Checkpoint Seven which is the mandatory Check Out thread. Do your tallies and totals and I can help you on that thread. Make sure you get 7 - check out done.

Even Hawaii and French Polynesia should be done with Checkpoint One - Check In.

Jarrad could you fix your template on Checkpoint One - it is alright to go in and fix it. It is Message 24.

Look at Michael's on message 50 for another example of the required info and template - we need this same information for every check in checkpoint - 1 through 6.

1. Jarrad - Hamburg, Germany - Central European Time Zone (UTC+01:00)

Folks check this list and make sure you are on it - if I missed you let me know and I will check the thread and add your name. It is unintentional.

Jarrad just look at missing parts and add them. And then you will be A-OK - there are two required templates used - one for Checkpoints 1 through 6 and the second required template used for the mandatory check out which is Checkpoint 7
