Pageopoly Challenge!
Mod
This challenge will only take place during the months of November and December. That means, books will be accepted from November 1st to December 31st. Winners will be announced on January 1st.
Since this is a page count challenge, it doesn't matter if you started a book before or after the challenge. You will only count the pages that you read once the challenge has started.
When signing up, please mention the number of books you plan on reading for the month of November and December. This number will be easier for me to make teams match up a bit more evenly.
For example,
Alaina - 50 books
Andy - 15 books
Aly - 50 books
**You will not be penalized if you go over or under your number.**
The general challenge rules can be found here.
Page Points:
1 - 50 pages โ� 0.25 pts
51 - 99 pages โ� 0.5 pts
100 - 149 pages โ� 1 pt
150 - 249 pages โ� 2 pts
250 - 349 pages โ� 3 pts
350 - 449 pages โ� 4 pts
450 - 549 pages โ� 5 pts
550 - 649 pages โ� 6 pts
650 - 749 pages โ� 7 pts
750 - 849 pages โ� 8 pts
850 - 949 pages โ� 9 pts
950+ pages โ� 10 pts
Buddy Reads will DOUBLE your points.
BOTM will TRIPLE your points.
Extra Bonus Points:
*One point for every book read that fits the book or series of that space. For example, if you read a book from the Six of Crows duology on that specific space you will get an extra point once it has been completed.
Mod
Challenge Rules:
All members will be split into teams evenly. At the start of the challenge, one of the mods will โrollโ� the dice for your team (using random.org). The space your team lands on will be based off of a series and there will be a specific number of pages that need to be โpaidโ� in order for your team to move on from that space. The number of pages that is due is at the bottom of the space on the Pageopoly board above.
Teams will continuously read books to bank pages read. And pages for books completed, reviewed, and added to the teams review thread will take away from the amount of pages that are due to move your team off of that space.
For example:
Team 1 has four members. They landed on the Legend space. This space requires 2,400 pages to be paid in order to advance.
Member 1 reads Throne of Glass which has 404 pages.
Member 2 reads Vampire Academy which has 332 pages.
Member 3 reads The Eye of Minds which has 308 pages.
Member 4 reads Heartless which is 453 pages.
404 +
332 +
308 +
453 =
1497
Because this team turned in 1,497 pages in a space that requires 2,400 the team still owes 903 pages.
Had this team landed on the Six of Crows space which only requires 1,000 pages to advance they would have โbankedโ� 497 pages for the next space they land on.

Alaina wrote: "Catsalive - 35-40 bpm"This is for 2 months, not 1. For bpm, make it 16.
Some of us read this "When signing up, please mention the number of books you plan on reading for the month of November and December" & some didn't.
Your counts will be a bit skewed if you use the books per 2 month tally for a single month.
