Are you getting excited??? We are - and the hosts and sponsors behind the scenes are working their magic to make this the best October ever!
Here's the general schedule for the event:
October 9th - October 22nd
- During this period, there will be daily challenges. There will be different numbers of challenges on different days, with 30 challenges in total. Challenges will be posted no later than 9 AM Central time each day - but they will not happen at exactly the same moment each day - as readying the galleries and the posts takes time and each day is different.
October 23rd - October 31st at NOON CENTRAL
- This period of time will have two components - a week for you to catch up with challenges you missed. During this period we will ALSO reveal the special additional requirement to qualify for YETI status. Have you seen our little Yeti on the graphics? He's our little mascot and we love him. So instead of challenge QUEENS, we will have challenge YETIS for this event. Challenge Yetis will have completed all 30 challenges, loaded them into the proper gallery with the proper keyword AND completed the second, secret component we will reveal during this period. Challenge yetis get the opportunity to win some of our higher value prizes, drawn at the end.
November 1- November 6th
- During this week, we will close the gallery to all entries, and our tech team will run reports that we use to draw prizes. In order for you to be eligible for prizes, you MUST have your cards in the challenge gallery and have the keywords correct - otherwise your cards will not show up on this report, and your name will not be in the drawings. This will make yeti cry. The deadline for posting to the yeti thread during this period is November 5th at noon central.
November 7th until finished!
- This is when the prize drawings will take place (if the reports are finished). To make prize drawings more fun than just random.org, I have participants answer trivia questions. I use the time stamps on their answers to generate my random numbers for the drawings. These are fun questions that are designed to teach you about using the website, and also about statistics from the event. The prize drawing thread is really fun and a great place to get to know your fellow players and learn about your sponsors.
The rest of the year
- You will experience withdrawal from this fun month of challenges. We are sorry.
