Our Better U Challenge -Housekeeping Post

All right, 
You've read all about the Challenge in the Introductory Post.  This Housekeeping post is about more of the specific details you will need to know.

It's a lot to read, but please go through it before you start the game.


On The Spreadsheet
1) Entering Points
When entering your points, you should fill in each box with either a 1 or a 0.
  • 1= YAY!! you completed the challenge and got the point
  • 0= :( you didn't do that challenge and you didn't get the point. (You should enter your own zeros. For instance, if it's 9:30pm and I just snacked on a kitkat, I know that I don't get the point for "no snacking after 9pm." When I log on to enter my points, I SHOULD enter the 0 rather than just leaving it blank.)
2) 24 Hours
The rules of the game give you 24 hours to log in your points. If you're going to be gone, or have a reason why this won't work for you for a short period of time, one option is totext or call another player with your points and they can log them for you. 

We start the 24 hours at midnight (MDT) when the day ends; for instance, I have until midnight on Tuesday to enter Monday's points. If I don't do it by then, I forfeit the points.

Changing any points (1's, or 0's) after 24 hours is considered cheating.

3) Spreadsheet issues
From time to time (usually during google's updates) there have been issues with some players not being able to enter their points, or their points are not tallying correctly, etc. Sometimes closing and then re-opening your browser fixes the problem. If that doesn't work, email Cambria as soon as you know about the problem, and you can "freeze" your day, and not lose the points. If you wait 2-3+ days to let her know there's an issue, we can't go back and save your points. You have to do it THAT DAY. - Please just be honest with your points! No need to email me, just enter them when the spreadsheet is up and working correctly, within a decent amount of time.



On The Blog
1) Check the Blog Frequently
We post updates and changes on the blog, and we try to give everything a window of at least 2 days. If you want to have the information, you have to check it. If there was an update, and you missed it because you didn't check the blog - we're so sorry, but you missed it. 
 


Prizes

????? - I think we are all still trying to decide what to do for the prizes? I like the idea of the losers take the winner's to dinner or dessert??? 


Here's to looking great in our summer swim suits! :)
