Scoring!

It is time to answer that important question...Who is our grand prize winner for 2012? Here is the form for scoring.  Fill out what you can/want to enter.  Your top 5 scores will be added together for your team total.  If you aren't very competitive in one category, consider filling it out anyway, you may end up taking points away from someone else ;-)  A perfect score would be 50 -- a team that comes in first in 5 categories.  Tie breakers were suggested a couple of years ago when this started but hopefully we won't need them because the top 2 tie breakers are arm wrestling or leg wrestling tournaments and we don't have any funds for travel.

Coming SOON! - 2012 Scoring

The form for 2012 scoring will be up very soon.  We are working out final details.  A committee is working to simplify our system for 2013 so we can chart monthly and get an idea of where we stand.  It isn't too late to take the survey. Participants have voted overwhelmingly to change our "season" to one that runs September - August.  2013 will be our transition so this year the season will be January - August.

Survey time

Hello all!  We are coming up to the end of our season and we need your feedback on a proposal to change our 2013 end date to make it possible to do an event at the Missouri Library Association Conference.    Also, what are your suggestions for updating our scoring?  We would like to make the scoring something that could be posted monthly so teams can get a better idea of where they stand.  If you have any suggestions to simplify the scoring please submit them.  The factors used in 2011 to determine our final standings are here.  Numbers 9 & 10 were "wild cards" so be sure to give suggestions for new categories.

Thanks for making the Missouri Book Challenge the premier reading competition in the world!
