[New for R15+] Due to missing and/or hard to find stats, all captains must post their team's shelf stats here before making a stamp request. Please follow this format (or one similar) when making your post. Thanks!

Captains are required to track team stats within their team's thread, too. This will help keep your teammates motivated and reading toward B-I-N-G-O. But, remember to link to your stat post here, in addition to the request for stamp thread, when making your stamp request. This will greatly help the bingo ninjas verify your team's stats, grant your team their well-earned stamps and share overall round stats once the game has been won.
In an effort to keep this thread as organized as possible, please ask any questions you may have in our BSB R23 discussion thread. You're welcome to look at the Captain's Log for R16 for an example.
