Tying up Loose Ends

Okay all - we are starting this Game for reals tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to getting back some control on what I'm doing with my body.

Just a few last things I feel needs to be discussed before the starting day tomorrow.

1. 25 dollars - just a reminder that everyone will need to put in 25 dollars at the beginning of the game (I realize it's hard to see some people often, but just as soon as possible). Lori Goudie will be keeping track of the money - don't worry, she's trustworthy. ;)

2. Winnings - this brings us to our next topic of business which is the winning pot. We've had it suggested by a few people that it might be nice to have a second (and possibly third?) place winner. What do you all think? I feel this should be something that is voted on, not just decided by me. So here are our options:

            a. Winner Takes All. One winner gets all the pot (10 people = 250 dollars)

            b. 2 Winners. 1st would get 200 and 2nd place would get 50  (or something similar)

            c. 3 Winners.  1st would get 150, 2nd 75, and 3rd 25. (Again numbers could be different)

Post your vote on the blog and we'll decide officially what we want to do with the winnings. :)

3. Weighing In - In order to make sure that the final weight bonus points are accurate we will need to all weigh in at the beginning of the game (this week) and at the end of the eight weeks. Since we are all a little all over the place and may not know each other, we thought it would be easiest to just weigh-in in front of at least one other player to vouch for your weight. Also it would be best to make sure you use the same scale at the beginning of the game as well as at the end of the game to keep numbers more accurate. This of course applies only to those that haven't already weighted in front of Lori. :)

Welp, I think thats it.

Don't forget to post your vote on the winnings - if no one puts in their vote I'll just decide on my own. ;)
