Yes, everything is a go, but we do need to work out when the first person will start the sprint so we'll know when the next person will approximately be up for sprinting :-)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments If it's okay, I can start in approx 2 hrs (maybe a bit sooner if I can get everything done). Do I tell you when I'm starting and/or finished? If that doesn't work, just let me know.

FIGHT CLUB BREAK-DOWN

Round 1: 1 hour sprint - Karen
Round 2: 2 hour sprint - V Nerd
Round 3: 3 hour sprint - K-Terror
Round 4: 4 hour sprint - LaurLa
Round 5: 5 hour sprint - Snowtulip
Round 6: 6 hour sprint - Tamika


If this is alright with everyone, then Karen, you can start your sprint whenever you're ready!

Remember: no public posting about this in the thread. Alert the captains when you're done with your round so we can tell the next person that they can do their thing.
Time during which you read and pages read during that time will be pm'ed to the mod account!

Just when you finish is good enough for us :-) So we can tell the next person they can go.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I keep having to refer back to rules & bug E as well... (not necessarily in that order...) ;)

So everything is fair game except :
- sprints have to be in order
- bonus rounds can't start until all regular events/rounds are completed

Right, E?

Ghost in the Stacks For page jumping, all of us need to read one book as well right?

I just don't see Jessica's name, and I dont want to take her spot.

Yess, we all need a book in Page Jumping, but it doesn't matter whether that is in Heat 1 or Heat 2, so feel free to pick whatever spot you want, Abbie! We have an almost complete heat to fill still!


message 2161: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks My 189 is an audio, so I was going to try to pick up a real physical book to read for now.

Should I just start on heat two of Page jumping until Jessica picks a spot?

FIGHT CLUB RULES TO REMEMBER

Sprinters

▲Fighters (Readers) need to make note of Date & Time they started their fight (sprint), and what page number they are starting on
▲ When their Round is over, Fighters (Readers) need to make note of the Time they ended and how many pages completed.
▲ Fighter (Reader) must send a private message to Mod Account. with their Round, Date, Times (start & finish) & Page Counts (start & finish)


Coaches

▲ Coaches do not have to read at the same time as Fighters
▲ Completed Coaches books may only be counted if a round is successfully completed.
▲ A fighter may become a coach at any time, but may not coach themselves. (i.e. whatever round you're sprinting for, you cannot read a coach book for that round!!)
▲ Coaches must read a book that features: Wrestling, Boxing and/or MMA in any format (professional, underground, cages fights, ect....)

Perfect! :-)


message 2166: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments How big was your book Abbie?

Jessica's "owned but haven't read" shelf had about 5 books in the 250-300 page range and 2 books for the 300-350 page spot.

I just now stuck her name in the 250-300 page spot just to make sure she had something..... but see she has books for either...

I just wanted to make sure she got a spot that works for her.

I hadnt decided yet, what to read yet, was just going to fill in some spots.if you have her sloted for the 250 range, then I will fill in on one of the othets. Let me see what I can find.


message 2169: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments True! We can always switch around between Heat 1 and 2 if we need.


message 2170: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13755 comments Mod
Yes, exactly. Switching is always possible!

I actually pulled all the people who had slots in heat 2 into heat 1 this morning, merely to fill it up instead of having holes.

message 2173: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I'm good with the rounds:)

I also have 3 fight books, so I could do another slot if needed. A few are starts to series, so I may become addicted and want to read even more ;)

Started my "rope" book.

Ghost in the Stacks What was the other event we all HAVE to do.

I just want to make sure I get a spot in there.

I am not much of a planner, so I am happy with just filling in blank spots.

Eldarwen | 13755 comments Mod
And I just checked, you wanted to read Avenue of Spies for that because of the horse on the cover.


message 2185: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Okay, good. I do have a spot for that.
Its an audio, so I will probably start that book tommorow.

Ghost in the Stacks Oh, I was planning on using it for book art

I know it will take me a few tries to get it right, and I wouldn't feel too bad using those.

Alexandria | 149 comments O M Goodness the past 27 hours have been hectic! Now I get two days off! Woo! Gonna start At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen for the page jumping! I also need to find a book for the Chariot. I was trying to find a book with a tool on the cover. It's a lot harder than I thought. I will have to scour the library tomorrow.
