Sorry for the lack of updates on our next round of Biggest Loser ... I've been pre-occupied with lots of other tasks and even as I write this I'm out of town in Detroit for the ITEC conference.
This contest was originally scheduled to start today ... but we're pushing it back a week to May 29th ... now you can enjoy your long weekend :-)
Here are our guidelines/rules based off our last contest ... these WILL be altered slightly as the contest gets underway.
Eligibility
Any church IT, web, AV, Tech/Production Arts staff (full or part-time role) ... If your church doesn't have any staff assigned to these roles and you fill that role as a volunteer you're eligible too.
$25 to register ... no refunds ... period!Dates
- Start May 29 ... but you can join at any point later. Just means you have less time to record weight loss.
- Ends Sept 4th-ish ... soft end date
- Winners get a split of the total pot ... possibly 80%, 15%, 5%
- Possible small award(s) at the halfway point
Weigh Ins
- Weigh ins must occur each THURSDAY at the same time of day. You can only miss a weigh in or 2 before you'll start getting nasty emails from me ;-)
- The same scale must be used for each weigh in.
- The same clothes or lack thereof must be worn at each weigh in.
- Weigh ins will be recorded in whole pounds. If your scale reports partial pounds just drop the fraction.
- There will be a cap on how much weight you can drop in a given week period ... to keep away from large dehydration techniques ;-)
- Participants will record their weekly weigh in our online Google Spreadsheet (you'll get an email after you register).
Winning
It's not fancy, but whoever has the largest weight loss % wins. (max weight - min weight) / max weight
Honor System
The contest assumes that all participants will follow the teachings of the Bible ... you know, don't lie! If you are dishonest God will deal with you justly!
Spread the word ... let's help make the world a lighter place to live!
