Back to School Runnin' Fool - Sept Challenge (Page 9)

enders_shadow - 2008-09-07 4:57 PM Long day today at the race, but I'll have the Stumpies numbers in in a bit. Thanks for being patient.

I got your numbers.  Thanks!

Just waiting on one more folks.  But I wont' say who....because I'm nice that kind of way :-)

I have all the reports in. 

I have my abacus, slide rule, and counting machine whirring.

Results will be posted by noon.

Here's what I'll be using to calculate the results.....tried and true.

Here you go!

* Congrats to the Nads for having the lead after week 1.

* Captains - Thanks for your help.  You were all very diligent.  I appreciate it!!

* Any missed miles can be added in to week 2's totals.  I won't be making adjustments at this point for omissions or mistakes.  We'll fix it next week.

It's all relative.

Sounds like sour grapes (or SOUR NADS!)

GO NADS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like Grape Nuts cereal.  My grandmother used to eat that stuff.  This just kind of ruined it for me.

Team Captains,

We have several challenge members who are not responding to PM's and are not posting miles.  I've been asked, "what, if anything, can we do about this."  I asked Dee since she has run MANY more of these than I have. Her response is below.  I say we follow her suggestion.

So.....if you have a person who appears to not be participating do this:

1) As captain, leave the person a PM (personal message) ASAP asking if they are still participating.

2) If they don't respond to the message in a week, let me know.

3) I'll check their logs and make a determination on whether to drop them or not.

Thanks!!

Hi Shawn!

Here's what I do:

1) The Team Captain sends a PM to the non-participant, asking if he/she is still participating in the challenge.
(Teammates are welcome to leave inspires, but my feeling is that only the Team Captain should send a PM - as we don't want the person feeling like we're stalking him!)

2) If the Team Captain sees the the PM isn't picked up in a week --> Then the Challenge Organizer checks the non-participant's profile to see the last Logon date. If the person hasn't logged in all month, then he/she gets dropped from the challenge.

3) If the PM gets picked up, but the non-participant doesn't reply to it within a week --> Then the person probably isn't interested in participating, and he/she gets dropped.

Of course, since it's your challenge, you're the one who gets to make the rules about people who "disappear".

If you have other questions, feel free to ask!
Dee

roflmao!

Captains...

Thanks for the great response last week in getting me your numbers.  My part was very easy due to your work.

I'm out of town this Sunday - getting back late Sunday night or early on Monday.  I'm going to try and work on the challenge info on Sunday evening.

PM's or an email work fine.

Looking forward to the results!!

Thanks for helping!!

umm.... waiting here.... pfft, really.

Nad's Rule in Week 2

Sorry the results were so late...I was out this weekend and am heading out tomorrow for 3 days.

Congrats to the NADS for their week two lead!

Captains,

If you have team members who are not participating or responding.

a) Send them a PM today (or asap)

b) Let me know if they don't respond by Saturday.

c) I'll remove them from your team.

I'm sure people signed up with good intentons, but then life happens.

Thanks, Shawn

Hi All,

I made an error when I reported my team's week 2 results. I reported our two week totals rather than our second week miles. We're not in 4th place as reported by Shawn. We should really be down in 7th with a 34.7% completion. It's an improvement from last week's 9th place. But we've got a LONG way to go to get near 4th place for real.

Sorry for the confusion. I'll get it right next week!

Uh Shawn...let's go ahead and bump up my goal to 55 miles...I really wasn't planning on running that much this month, but things changed...

O.k.  The Chanticleers are officially handicapped by 1 seriously gimpy runner (me!) & another that's continuing to run through a chronically sore knee. 

I just want to take a moment & applaud the other team members who are continuing to run strong despite my pitiful display of 2 miles this week! 

Wherever the team places this week, they did so under great distress & with admirable courage & gumption!  

Go TEAM!

Week Three Results!!!

* Nads are once again in First place.  (Yes, I guess the Nads do have Nads!)

* Artichokes - your week two column is empty - but your total miles run is correct.  Your captain and I are working on getting the correct week 2 numbers.  You're total % is also correct as is your place number for week 3 results.

* If you have run over your goal miles, you're % only shows 100% (as stated in challenge rules).  Miles over the goal will be used for tiebreakers.  Nad's have one person over their goal.

* Thanks to the Team Captains for prompt reporting.  You are all doing great!!

* Please let me know of mistakes or corrections.

* Good luck everyone on week 4!!
