The Spring Challenge is approaching the midpoint - April 15, at the end of that day, midnight Eastern time.
Check Your Total With just days to go, please check your totals on the Readerboard now so we can investigate any discrepancies. If your points don't match what is on the Readerboard, please follow the procedure in message 1 of the questions/problems thread. If you still can't figure out the source of the discrepancy, make a post in the questions/problems thread that details which tasks you believe you should have points for and I'll investigate.
50 point task The player with the highest score on the midpoint Readerboard will get to create the 50 point task. Players who have already created a task (or who chose to pass their task on) for the current Challenge are not eligible: one task per person per challenge. If there is a tie, the person who correctly posts the points first will get to create the task.
Group Reads We will also begin the Summer 2018 Group Reads process.
The three Group Reads categories are: Fiction - Romantic Suspense Fiction - Hard Science Fiction definition: characterized by an emphasis on scientific accuracy, speculative science or engineering. Non-fiction -Psychology
The top 30 eligible players on the Midpoint Readerboard will nominate books that fit the three categories. Players tied with the person in 30th place will be included.
A pool of 5 eligible alternate nominators will be selected from the next highest scoring players on the Readerboard. Their nominations will only be included if a top 30 player elects to pass or misses a response deadline.
To be eligible, a player must not have nominated a book in the current challenge's Group Reads process. A player may not nominate books in two successive challenges. Book nominators must respond within 5 days.
Please be sure to check for messages on Goodreads on April 16-18
Polls with 10 nominated books for each category will determine the Group Reads task selections.
Also, to be eligible to create a task or participate in the nomination process a player’s profile must be set up to accept messages. Please check your settings or friend the moderators. All communication is done through Goodreads mail.
