Gisbelle | 25787 comments Introduction to the Challenge
This is a team challenge. To participate, you need to signup first. You will then be grouped into team. Each team needs to elect a team leader. Once everything is all set, all you need to do is wait for the movie of the week to be posted. Each movie will be posted along with the requirements as explained below. Find a book to read that meets as many requirements as possible to get the most points for your team.


description Point System
This point system will tell you how many points you can earn for your team.

description Individual Points
Genre: if your chosen book is in the same genre as one given, you'll earn 1 point
Cover: if the cover of your chosen book fits the requirement, you'll earn 2 points
Plot: if your chosen book fits at least one of the plots given, you'll earn 3 points
Title: if at least one word in the title of your chosen book matches the words given, you'll earn 4 points
Name: if at one name of the main characters in your chosen book, or the name of the author is the same as the name given, you'll earn 5 points
Setting: if the setting (place or published year) fits the requirement, you'll earn 6 points

Hidden Words: each week 5 words will be given. All you need to do to find them in the book you have chosen for bonus points. One word will earn you 1 point


description Team Points
Extra points will be awarded to the team if everyone in the team finishes their book within:

Day 1 or 2 = 3pt
Day 3 or 4 = 2pt
Day 5 or 6 = 1pt
Day 7+ = no extra point

description For Team Leaders:

2. Posting to claim the points should be done by Sunday or as late as Monday the following week
3. Posting to claim the points should be done only when all the team members finish writing the reviews
4. DO NOT edit the post after posting to claim the points (I will not check back, so it is pointless to edit your post a few days later)
5. Team leaders need to report (whether in discussion thread or through PM) if any of the team members are inactive (so that I can find a replacement)
6. If any team leader doesn't report inactive members, it is considered that they are happy with their team performance already. Therefore, I will not take any actions.

______

description Criteria for Selecting Movies

1. Each member in the team is allowed to pick a movie
2. Each member needs to send their selected movie to the team leader (through PM)
3. The team leaders then send me all the movies their team has chosen

* The movies should meet the following criteria:

1. The release dates need to be 1990 or newer
2. They have to be English-speaking movies
