Here are our guidelines/rules based off the last biggest loser contest we finished up in April... Eligibility
Any church IT, Web, AV, Tech/Production Arts staff (full or part-time
role) ... If you fill these roles as a volunteer you're eligible too.
$25 to register ... no refunds period!
Dates
- Start May 29 ... but you can join at ANY TIME. Just means you have less time to burn off the flab.
- Ends August 28 (13 weeks)
- Winners get a split of the total registration pot less paypal transaction fees (~2.5%) ... breakdown of 75%, 20%, 5% ... if we get vendors to kick in prizes those well be in the mix to choose from as well.
- Possible small award(s) at the halfway point
Weigh Ins
- Weigh ins must occur each THURSDAY at the same time of day.
You can only miss a weigh in or 2 before you'll start getting nasty
emails from me ;-)
- Missing 2 weigh ins in a row will most likely get you booted from the contest (no refund). It's not fair to others who are keeping their stats updated, especially once the contest is getting down the wire.
- Participants will record their weekly weigh each Thursday in our online Zoho Spreadsheet (you'll get an email after you register).
- The same scale must be used for each weigh in.
- The same clothes or lack thereof must be worn at each weigh in.
- Weigh ins will be recorded in whole pounds. If your scale reports partial pounds just drop the fraction.
- In the final 2 weeks there will be a cap on how much weight you can drop in a given week period
... to keep away from large dehydration techniques ;-)
Winning
It's not very fancy, but whoever has the largest weight loss % wins. (max weight - min weight) / max weight
Honor System
The contest assumes that all participants will follow the teachings
of the Bible ... you know ... don't lie! If you are dishonest God will
deal with you justly.
If you're in ... hit the PayPal button below to register. If you prefer to send $ another way just shoot me an email (gccjason at gmail) and we'll discuss.
Here's you'll be able to track each person's progress over time ...
