ARCHIVE Team Challenge: UNO 2017
>
QUESTIONS?: UNO Team Challenge
Interested in playing?
Fill out this SIGN UP FORM with a few details and we will start assigning teams towards the end of January.
If you have problems with the form, please let us know.
You can see if your form responses worked, and check out who else has signed up here
I am not sure if my sign up form went thru ( I think it did) but the link to check you have posted only shows a sheet from 2016? Thanks! PS New to the group. 8-)
I ditto Caly. I only saw 2016 info on the link and I'm new as well.
Hi - Yes you are both on there. I'm not sure about why you can't see the sheet as when I click on the link it takes me to the 2017 responses *scratches head*
Technology is grand..lolIt was your post on my feed Karen that brought me here. ;-)

Once I get back on a desktop I'll just redo the link and see if that does anything? So weird
It was your post on my feed Karen that brought me here. ;-)"Oh good to know! I get asked quite a bit "when is UNO coming back" so I figured this year I'd use the 'general update' function that GR now has to broadcast it also :)
I can only assume all these goodreads errors are creating the issue for you with the link (as originally I copied and pasted that post from the 2016 post ; and then edited with the new links). So if anyone else has the same problem, the link to the 2017 sign up s/sheet is:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

(Row 32)
"Can I request to be on a team with xyz, abc, def... etc."This is a question that always pops up so I thought I'd answer it here.
We totally get that it is fun to play with people you know. And we have no problems with trying to accomodate requests for 2-3 people to be on the same team
BUT
1. We don't make "whole" teams of set people (so you can't request 10 people on one team for example)
2. Book counts play a large role in UNO because the teams have a set number of books to read each month. So if you have a group that reads 150 books in the month and the team only has to read 80 it means you'll be bored for half the month (I'm sure you don't want that!). So if you and your friends have large book counts it can be difficult to make a viable team.
--this is also why it's important to try and accurately estimate your monthly books. There is no benefit to under estimating for UNO--
So, bottom line, when you sign up, in the comments you can put your request, or you can send a PM to this account and we will do what we can
If you have signed up as a captain I'm more than happy to try and match you with a co-captain that you have worked with before. Again, just send a PM or put it in your comments
Good catch!It should be end of January of course :D

Teehee
Thanks for picking it up! Now edited :)
I just thought it meant we are such good Challenge participate that we would have read the required tasks any way,
How many people will be assigned to a team?
Diane Woods wrote: "How many people will be assigned to a team?"It will vary depending on how many books each team member reads. We're trying to make teams as even as possible but aiming for at least 5-6 people on each team, we don't want them to be too small.
Just to make sure - the first Lemony Snicket book, The Bad Beginning, is long enough, right?
Christina wrote: "Just to make sure - the first Lemony Snicket book, The Bad Beginning, is long enough, right?"Because it is a children's book it needs to meet the word count of 25,000 words. If you look at www.arbookfind.com it is only 24130 words so won't count.
So maybe read it before the challenge starts ;)
Sign Ups received from this point onwards will be put on a reserve list.That means we will add you to a team when a spot becomes available, or we will create a new team if/when enough new sign ups are received

Whooo Hoo! Does that mean teams are done and will be posted soon?
That means that teams are under construction :)
We are currently posting team threads with no names. We will let the captains know which team they have, and wait for them to be able to reserve some spots at the top of the thread before announcing to all and putting your names into the threads.Please don't post to the team threads until this is done. Any comments that aren't the captains we will have to remove.
Thanks!
All captains and co-captains have now been invited to the captains group (for those not friends with this account, you will have a friend request, and then we can invite you).Captains and co-captains by team:
Note: we had a few people sign up as "either" that weren't assigned a role, so don't be concerned if your name isn't here. It just means you are a team member :)

Just to clarify....a Reverse is a book a teammate has read at any time or during the challenge?
Jennifer wrote: "Just to clarify....a Reverse is a book a teammate has read at any time or during the challenge?"At any time :)
Jennifer wrote: "Just to clarify....a Reverse is a book a teammate has read at any time or during the challenge?"No, it can be any book they've read at any time and not necessarily during the challenge.
Priyanka wrote: "Hi... I am new to the challenge. I dont know which team I am in. How will I be notified? Sorry I know its lame to ask this but please excuse me. :)"We are just waiting on a couple of captain things and then we will announce teams. It should be in the next hour or so and we will announce it to this thread :)
I think I messed up putting in my user name. Should I redo the form?
Shanna_redwind wrote: "I think I messed up putting in my user name. Should I redo the form?"No, that's fine. I will change it :)

I accidentally signed up twice because I didn't see my first sign up on the list link, but then I realized there was a second link in here after I signed up a second time. Sorry about that.
Annalisa wrote: "I accidentally signed up twice because I didn't see my first sign up on the list link, but then I realized there was a second link in here after I signed up a second time. Sorry about that."No probs. You're not the first person to accidentally sign up twice ;)
For those who signed up after teams were announcedWe are just waiting for team members to check in before we assign you a team, or create a new one. We will be able to find you a place before UNO starts, just keep an eye on this thread for updates, and we will also PM you with your team assIgnment.
Thanks!
I signed up three days ago but I still don't see my name. Does it usually take a long time to assign names to groups?
Dima wrote: "I signed up three days ago but I still don't see my name. Does it usually take a long time to assign names to groups?"< not a mod > I'd suggest filling out the sign-up form again. Maybe it didn't work the first time... (just basing this off being able to see others who signed up just today on the signup spreadsheet but not seeing your name). Once you are listed on that spreadsheet then check out Karen's last post for when you may be assigned to a team. < / not a mod >
Dima wrote: "I signed up three days ago but I still don't see my name. Does it usually take a long time to assign names to groups?"It is instantaneous once you complete the google form, your details go to the responses spreadsheet.
I don't see you there, so the form may not have submitted?
I just submitted the form again. I hope it works this time :\
