A team member can have one unplanned absence one without repercussions. When they miss a second week, they will eliminated from the team. In the case of an unplanned absence, a team member cannot read a second book.

If you have a group of 4, you can sign up as a team.

Scrabble and Scavenge
Who doesn't love a good game of Scrabble?
Well, I imagine that there might be one or two folk out there who might not, but here at The Challenge Factory, we can combine Scrabble, scavenging, and good books to have a marvelous time!
This team challenge begins Wednesday, June 8 (12:01 a.m. your time), and ends Tuesday, August 2 (11:59 p.m. your time). It will last 8 weeks.
Teams will be posted June 5. Each team will hopefully consist of four players.
For this challenge you will need to read one book a week.
Each week the moderator will announce the Word of the Week. The WotW will have four letters. Each team member will choose one of the four letters. That letter will determine the book they will read that week. You can use the first word of the title (excluding 'a', 'an', or 'the'), or the author's first, middle, or last initial.
There will also be a BONUS Word of the Week. (BWotW)
Example:
The WotW is 'BOAT'. You pick the letter 'A'. You decide to read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
If you find both the WotW and the BWotW in the text of the book, you will earn the Scrabble point value of the letter and a point for each of the found words. In this example, A is worth 1 point, plus 2 points for the two found words for a total of 3 points.
WotW and BWotW will be announced each Monday morning.
To add a random factor and to boost point scores, on the 4th and 7th weeks, random.org will pick which letter will be doubled (4th week) and tripled (7th week).
Also, on the 8th week a third BWotW will be announced that all teams can look for in the text of their book.
At the end of the challenge, the team with the most points wins. In the event of a tie, the captain that posts their team's Completion Posts in the Reporting thread first will be the winner.
