Haha yeah, I already guessed it was you ;) I would have done it like a barbarian too, it's way more effective than copy-pasting but my phone wouldn't let me! 😂
And you went against the beastly Scoresheet Problem, armed with just a phone app to help the damsel in distress? You truly are a knight ;)

It’s a fun competition. Makes me realize I read a lot by normal standards and very little compared to you animals in here. Think I’m at 70 + books and I’m in the middle of the pack. Haha. Awesome job
Mod
As if we've nearly read 2 million pages! We're amazing!
Thats pretty ridiculous, I'm super impressed!
Wow that's awesome! I only got to join the competition in august and contributed 8353 pages so far :)
Hey guys, I just accidentally moved my tab when I was trying to scroll. I'm not sure if it messed up the spreadsheet or not. I thought I'd mention it here just in case.
Mod
On the average points per day my rank is shown as zero. Just letting you know
Something is wrong with my sheet too. I can't insert anything in the "date completed" column. :(.......... or in any other column!
Your sheet is protected so only those with the permission can modify it.If you did it yourself (to avoid people messing with it), just check you're still logged in (with your Google account). If you didn't... You'll have to wait for Rob (or Iain) to unlock it.
Sorry I can't help you any more than that :/

Sorry been busy all day - I'll get to it this evening once I get the kids to bed :)

YAY, it's working again. Thank you so much Rob. :)

you're welcome :)
I just updated my spreadsheet but it’s not calculating points. Thank you
Just checked, and everything seems fine. Sometimes, the spreadsheet is a bit slow, and you have to wait before seeing your points appear.

Thank you. On the second page on the farthest right column is shows my rank as zero. I know that its not important but it bothers me and I would appreciate it if you could get it fixed.
Could someone with expertise please look at the sheet? On my page, line 87 is just broken altogether and line 100 for example has points but no date completed. I think something has gone out of line somehow, and a formula has been messed up! 😭😭Thanks!
Haha. Wouldn't go as far as calling myself a genius but you're welcome ^_^

2001 points and counting, with 38hrs remaining in the competition...

Wow!! congratulations!

It was announced back in August that it was ending on Halloween at midnight, to give a breather before next year's competition... and for the mods to draft new teams...

Thanks... I put in a concerted push to accomplish this, after reading 25% less in August and September...
Well done Iain!! That's an amazing amount of points.
Mod
I'm not sure the new rules will let anyone hit 2000 points next year... With Buddy Reads and Challenges having less of an effect (50/25% -> 25/10%), and reading physical books earning 25-33% bonus points over my audiobook points, I think everybody in the top 5 right now would be fighting for position around 1700-1800 points...
Well done, Iain, that's just wicked!

That's wonderful Iain...congrats...2001 is a phenomenal amt of points, as was sustaining that tireless superhuman pace all thru the year.
And not the least of your achievements was (additionally) dealing with all my wordy rubbish throughout the year...haha, I had such fun indulging my superhyper impersonation of Colin Creevey on 'Roids...totally trashed your tracker, man...*CRINGE* sorry for that!
And you were really were so tolerant and enduring thru it all...
I know I must've severely tried the limits of your patience several times but you were never less than polite and kind, you never got annoyed or offended, and you were always such a sport. Thanks for that.
Truly, you're ALSO indefatigably nice.
😊
Best of luck for next year...defending champion now!
And...
(view spoiler)
Damn, should've been here sooner...read for 24 hours straight and then overslept. It's evening almost here. I'm not even gonna attempt the timezone math.

I basically made a point a couple weeks ago about leeway, so I would have some leeway in making my spreadsheet data final... I realized a couple months ago that I got full challenge points for blank spots, since the cell checks for Ns to zero out... so my points didn't go up any, they just became official...
I'm curious what my points will look like next year... I'm planning less re-reads and more Incomplete Series catch-up reads, and this might lead to less Buddy Reads... all with the points changes... who knows?
Speaking of the draft, when is it supposed to happen?
Mod
I think it's Super Secret... it's private anyway... all I know about it is that the mods are going to do a Skype group call... they have a couple weeks to plan it... I assume it's going to get harder to plan the closer to the holidays it gets...
People joked about wanting to commentate like a sports draft...
Mod
It's looking like the weekend of Dec 8-9 because of all of our schedules.

More or less accurate. It's not really secret and the reason for doing the live draft was twofold. First to cut down on Niki's admin time to choose the teams. Second we thought it would be a treat for the mods to get together and have a few laughs while picking the teams.
