Countdown until the challenge start is here
Mod
Sign-ups are still OPEN for regular spots.
Since the teams are allocated, we're just waiting for either keep the teams balanced, or forming a new one. So it may take a little longer to assign you.
Don't worry, we'll send you a message as soon as you are allocated.
Mod
For TOWER TEAMS we're making
(November's Adult Sci-Fi/Fantasy BOM) an exception.Meaning, we are granting the page points, participating in discussion points, and DQ's points, as long as you finish the book after the starting date
Mod
We're closing sign-ups for reserves only on Wednesday (Nov 4th).
Sign-ups after that date will be on the reserve list and wait for open spots or need for a replacement.
Mod
Waiting list is now Open. Please fill up the form if you want to wait for an open spot. Don't forget to check out the rules first (here)
Members that have signed-up in the last 48 hours will be messaged with their team assignment shortly.
If you have signed-up and can't find your team, check the Team Assignments List
For those who were assigned to a team, this is the Last Call. Please check-in with your team or team captain till the start of the challenge. Missing members by November 8th that we haven't been warned of late joining, will be replaced. Their names will be moved to the reserve list and will have to wait for a new open spot after that date.

Guidelines for Posting Questions on Tower Teams IV
Before posting Any Question regarding the Challenge, Please do the following:
1. Read the RULES
2. Read the Goals FAQ We keep the first posts regularly updated with questions and answers
Still have questions?
FOLLOW THE HIERARCHY
The communication chain is:
Member --> Team Leader --> Mentor --> All Mods
What does this mean?
It means that if you make a question that is on the rules or Goal FAQs you may get re-directed to those posts.
It also means that members cannot go over their team captains/co-captains (team leader for short) directly to the mods.
We over 300 players, and so our captains and co-captains help team members by:
- Answering members questions
- Make the bridge between members and mods
- Also, there are extra threads for taking care of team issues, goal doubts, and general questions on the captains group. So they have access to a lot more info than the members.
But my team captain is a mod and she said she needed to check with the others
Well, yes.
Mods are like mom and dad. If one of them makes a rule about an issue, the others don't say otherwise. We respect each other and don't step into each others toes. So. If something was said before, it will be checked if memory fails.
Also, mods are like doctors. Sometimes they need a second opinion before taking a decision.
Mods also "hire" external consultants. Some of the goals were suggested by members, so we need to check what was their original idea before making a ruling.
Mods are humans too. Meaning we make mistakes. But, we assume them, and try to fix it as quickly and painless as possible. Also, we have real lives and real live issues too. This is a very loved hobby, but just that. A hobby. Unfortunately we don't get paid for all this volunteer work! ;).
But my team is too chatty and info gets lost
Ask your team leaders to put it on a visible place. You can also PM your team leaders.
I ask a question and my team captain only answers it when I'm sleeping
Please remember that there are different time zones, and people have demanding schedules too. Relax. This is supposed to be fun. Not stressful. Is a hobby.
I don't like my team or my captains
Is there a particular reason? Do you wanted a chattier team? Or are you not into chatting at all? We try to pair teams taking in account their preferences, but sometimes it doesn't work well. If you prefer quiet, You can focus on reading and just check in to post your books. If you prefer a chatty one, you can always try to make the team to chat.
If you think your team captains are not doing their job, compile a list of things - and this is not book or personal taste - with objective points and PM your mod mentor.
If you have issues with your mod mentor.. then compile those, and PM the mod account. We'll work it out.

Pardon Our Dust!
The mods are currently tinkering behind the scenes. This may cause some random spreadsheet issues. Please be patient with us while we continue to make the Tower Teams challenge even better!
Everything will be back to normal soon. Thanks for understanding!
