Church IT/Web/AV Biggest Loser #3 Registration Open

Attention church IT, Web, AV, Tech/Production Arts staff and volunteers.  Need to shed a few or perhaps many pounds?  Here's an opportunity to get yourself in better shape.

The Deets:

Here are our guidelines/rules based off our prior BL1 and BL2 contests ... 

Eligibility
Any church IT, Web, AV, Tech/Production Arts staff (full or part-time role) ... If you fill these roles as a volunteer you're eligible too.
Don't fit the above roles, but want to join too? Shoot me an email and we can discuss.
$25 to register ... no refunds period!

Dates 

• Starts November 13 ... but you can join at ANY TIME. Just means you have less time to burn off the flab. 
• Ends March 12 (4 months) 
• Winners get a split of the total registration pot less paypal transaction fees (~2.5%) ... breakdown of 75%, 20%, 5% ... we'll also get vendors to kick in prizes too and those well be in the mix to choose from as well.

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 ;-) 
  • Missing 2 weigh ins in a row will most likely get you booted from the contest (no refund). It's not fair to others who are keeping their stats updated, especially once the contest is getting down the wire.
• Participants will record their weekly weigh each Thursday in our online Zoho Spreadsheet (you'll get an email after you register). 
• 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. 
• In the final 2 weeks there will be a cap on how much weight you can drop in a given week period ... to keep away from large dehydration techniques ;-)

Winning 

It's not very 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, don't cheat! If you are dishonest God will deal with you justly.

Check out BL1 results and BL2 results ... so far we've lost over 800 lbs combined!

You in?  Hit this link to go register ... and tell your church techie friends to join the fun!

What's up with the date change at the last minute? You need someone else to clean out the spreadsheet and start a new one?

I just signed up. I've gained a lot of weight since the end of the last contest. I'm hoping that a little competition will get me back on track. Thanks for organizing this.

Sunny - yeah ... same here. It comes back so quick and easy :(

Just got an email about this from my boss and I signed up! =)

I'd be interested in knowing what participants would like to see in the form of prizes.
