This is an inter-challenge mini. It is intended to amuse you and help pass the long, lonely, challengeless week, so it's 100% optional and you don't lose or win points for doing it or not. It will last from 8/9/14 to 15/9/14. That's right, Americans, we're going to keep going to the ninth of fifteentember. Dodgeball is different from previous challenges because I haven't come up with a challenge activity - you have to challenge each other. The Game in a Nutshell Sign up Here, ideally trying to keep a balance of players on each teamEach person on each team gets to "throw balls at" (issue challenges to) members of the other team. Each person throws 3 balls - a fitness one, a lifestyle one and a wildcard one. Each person will (hopefully) have three thrown back at them.Fitness and lifestyle goals are loosely based in that person's goals from the last 6 weeks. Wildcard can be anything at all (but should be achievable or where's the fun?) The balls can be all at the same person or 3 different peeps, and for added element of surprise, they can be thrown at any point in the week.To "dodge" the ball, the person has to do the thing they were challenged to do within 1 day of it being thrown. Number of balls thrown at you minus number of balls dodged = your scoreHighest scoring team wins. I'll put some examples below so you can see how it works. The Game out of its Nutshell How to sign up Go here. Write your name at the bottom of a team list like this... The format and headings should appear by magic... How to Throw a Ball You only have three balls to throw so use them wisely, Pick a victim and decide what challenge you're going to issue. Write the challenge next to their name. For example, on Monday, I decide to lob my lifestyle ball at Captain Pseudonymus. One of his goals in the last challenge was to brush twice a day so I have decided to challenge him to take the next step. He has 24 hours to do what I suggest or it's a point to my team. On Thursday I decide to wang a second ball at ImagiMary. I decide to use the Wildcard ball this time, so I challenge her to do something that is nothing to do with their goals but is just a bit of fun. How to Dodge a Ball On Friday, someone fiend throws a ball at me. Damn, I hadn't expected to have to do some work myself, but now I've been challenged and if I'm to dodge the ball I have to do the thing within 24 hours. Luckily, I am a god among men and I never, ever fail to achieve any goal, so the following day I can mark the goal as completed on time and the opposing team is cheated of their points. Huzzah! Scoring The formulae in the sheet will work out which team has the highest hit rate.
