Check Your Total
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.
Group Reads
We will also begin the Summer 2020 Group Reads process.
The three Group Reads categories are:
Fiction:
Anthology
Comedy
Nonfiction: Female Entrepreneurs
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 15-20
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.
Welcome back returning players! Thank you for making this group so much fun. If you are just joining us as a new player, we are glad you are here.
If you need help getting started please see Getting Started, SRC Explained, and Welcome Newcomers.
