The Fall Challenge is approaching the midpoint. The player with the highest score on the midpoint Readerboard will get to create the 50 point task. Players who created tasks in the Fall Challenge are not eligible: one task per person per challenge.

We will also begin the Winter Group Reads nomination process. According to challenge rules, the players with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th highest scores on the midpoint Readerboard will choose the Group Reads categories. The top 30 players on the midpoint Readerboard will nominate a book that fits one of the three categories. Players tied with the person in 30th place will be included. A poll will be created for each category. Players will not be allowed to choose categories or books two challenges in a row. Players who nominated the winning books will not be eligible to participate in selecting categories or books again.

To be eligible to create a task or participate in the nomination process, a player’s profile must be set up to accept messages.
