.RULES v 3.15 for the 1st Annual JPF 61 Day Challenge.

Please read the entire message before replying...

1000 Points are possible in the contest. All participants who last 40 days and/or meet the minimums for each category will receive a T-Shirt.

Nutrition Goal - Adherence to a plan of good nutrition. Note: this should be both healthy and support your goals. When you write out your plan in your log, you should detail what your definition of this will be.

61 Days in 1/2 day increments = 122 un-weighted points
A minimum of 80 points should be achieved.
For ranking within each category % of goal achieved will be used.
For Overall Winner, both % of Goal and Number of points earned will be considered. Determination will be made by a panel of 3 judges.
300 total points are available in this category and will be adjusted to account for 30% of Total Challenge points.

Fitness Goal - You decide number and type of workout per week. These can be Resistance training, Cardio/HIIT, Walking - Dedicated time for exercise and physical activity. Any type of exercise may be used and counted toward your progress. Each type of exercise is weighted for scoring purposes; however all you'll need to record is whether or not you completed a session and/or how many that day.

Resistance Training - [multiplier 2.5]
Intervals - [multiplier 2.5]
SS Cardio/Walking/Group Sports - [multiplier 2.0]

For ranking within each category % of goal achieved will be used.

For Overall Winner, both % of Goal and Number of points earned will be considered. Determination will be made by a panel of 3 judges.
300 Points are available for all Fitness activity. This is 30% of Total Challenge Points.

Personal Goal - Choose your own adventure. Goals might include weight gain, weight loss, body fat %, spending more time with the family, reading a certain number of books, or anything you can imagine. If you want to gain weight, this may be a number of lbs. If you want to lose weight this may be a waist circumference. If you want to spend time with the family, maybe X number of hours per week or a certain night a week. Consistent effort for 61 days is required. No matter what it is. Achieve it!

For setting and reaching your goal, you will earn 300 points, 30% of Total Challenge Points.
Personal Goals may be revised 1x during the course of the challenge but the revision must be approved.

Competitive Goal - Participate in a public event such as a weight lifting meet, strongman competition, walk/run/race, etc. during the 61 days of the Challenge. You may also participate by helping organize, schedule, etc the public event. The event must be fitness related. Many events cost minimally to participate.perhaps $10.00 donated to a worthy cause such as Race for the Cure, etc. If you are having trouble with this one, let me know and I will personally help supply entry fees or find you an event in your area that is free. Also, Competitive Goal Challenges are transferrable. This might sound strange; however in some circumstances achieving this may not be possible. If that is the case and someone else who is participating in the Challenge is willing, they may complete an additional (1) Event for you.

1 event is required.
You cannot earn double points. Points earned in the participation of this event may not also be counted toward SS Cardio, Intervals, or Resistance Training Sessions.
100 points are possible. This is 10% of Total Challenge Points.

Awards determined by Private Message vote by participants for:

"Most Improved"
"The Mahler Award for Motivation"

Challenge Awards for:

Overall Winner - He/She with the most points / compliance wins.
Nutrition
Fitness

I already have some great prizes lined up from JP, Leigh P, John Izzo, Alan Aragon, Mike Roussell, Jonathan Fass. While these are not the focus of the Challenge, they are a nice extra at the end.

This thread will be locked on June 1 @ 2359 hrs Central Standard Time.

Before joining, create your Challenge Journal Thread and provide a link in your sign-up message. The links will be compiled and listed in a single thread for everyone to see together. If you already have a log in the Training Log subforum you may continue to use it just keep track of your Challenge plans, goals, progress there. Challenge participants should check in and post their progress at least 1x/week. Monday will be the Official Check In Day. More check-ins are better but we understand if you can only check in once per week. The official Challenge check-in thread will be called Thorns and Roses. This is a Cliff Notes version of your week. You should still use your log/journal for routine postings.

Good Luck Everyone.

Newman

P.S.> If any changes need to be made to the rules, let me know via PM an we can either make modification or begin discussion in the other thread.
