LOCKED TOPIC

~ How Challenges are Handled ~

Challenges are defined by the following characteristic. A Challenge, in short, has some sort of sign-ups, a specific start and finish date, and some semblance of a competition.

The rules we ask ALL Competitions to follow are:

• The *sign-up* thread can be "hosted" in the appropriate forum relating to the challenge. For example.. a lose 20 lb. by Valentine's Day can be hosted in Weight Loss.
• Once the sign-ups have closed, a new thread should be created in the Games & Challenges forum. A moderator will then lock the *sign-up* thread and link the new thread in the OP's header. As a note: it is understood that some challengs continue to have open sign-ups. If that is your intention, please PM a moderator from that board and let him or her know so we do not lock your post.
• Should you decide to start a new thread each week, please PM a moderator to lock the previous week's thread.
• Once that specific challenge is over, users can feel free to begin a new challenge with sign-ups, again, hosted in the appropriate forum.
