2012 Scoring

Sorry gang, I dropped the ball on this and should have announced these earlier in the year.  These scoring factors are very similar to the ones used in 2011.  An advisory committee has been working on this for 2012 and we will have the scoring form ready shortly.  Of course your comments are welcome.

In an effort to give each team a chance to win, we have developed 10 scoring factors.  You can pick 5 of them and your rank in those five will be added together for your total score.  The top 10 in each factor would get points from 10 (highest) to 1 (lowest). You can report on more than 5 factors and we will count your top 5 places in your final score.

Here are the factors for 2012:

1.  Team – total books read
2.  Team -  total pages read
3.  Team – page average (your total pages/total books)
4.  Top 5 team members – total books read
5.  Top 5 team members – total pages read
6.  Top 5 team members – page average (top 5 people total pages/total books)
7.  Percentage of participants – # on your team/total employees – a person would have had to blog for at least 6 months to count as a team member.
8.  Consistency – # of team members who have blogged at least 11 out of 12 months/Total team members (or 90% of the months employed by library)
9.  Percentage of team members that have a tattoo.
10.  Number of books blogged about that feature Batman.

Hopefully everyone will see something that looks attractive for their team.  REMEMBER - You can report on more than 5 factors but only the best 5 will count towards your library's final score.

Just an Idea


My Precious!!!
 You know I've been thinking (a very dangerous thing).  But I like the suggestion of a traveling trophy and bragging rights.  To take this bad boy up to the next level do you think we should try to coordinate the competition with the annual MLA conference.  Then we can announce the winning team at one of the membership events, how awesome would that be?  We can run the Reading Challenge from September 2012 - August 2013;  We would end in August to give the "Judges" a month to compile the scores and have a winner in time for the conference.  What do y'all think?
