That's right ... firing up another church techie biggest loser contest!
Here are our guidelines/rules based off our prior BL1 , BL2 , BL3 and BL4 contests ...
Eligibility
Any church IT, Web, AV, Tech/Production Arts staff (full, part-time, or volunteer role). Church ChMS peeps and other Church tech consultants are encouraged to join as well.
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 Friday Oct 16... but you can join at ANY TIME. Just means you have less time to burn off the flab.
- Ends March 5th (~4 months) … this date may change slightly to coincide with the Spring Church IT Roundtable date.
- Winners get a split of the total registration pot less paypal transaction fees (~2.5%) ... breakdown of 75%, 20%, 5% ... hopefully 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 Friday 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 IS BAD!! and 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 Friday 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.
If you're in ... hit this link to register. If you prefer to send $ another way just shoot me an email (gccjason at gmail) and we'll discuss.
