<span style="font-size:xx-small;">Hello everyone. I hope everyone has settled into the new forum. Not as bad now that the dust has settled, eh?<br><br>
Before I offer the poll question, I thank everyone for participating.<br><br>
Regarding how the game ends, I read your <a href="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2604" target="_blank">ideas</a> and found that the last round (24 days) was too short and that also some would like to see a race with an ending, i.e. like what is planned this round to end at a finish line in Maine at some 6900 miles.<br><br>
At our current rate of progress, we are on about a 2000pt per week pace, or 3.5 weeks until a team reaches the goal 6900 miles. (Projected: May 20)<br><br>
I pose the question to you all: How would you like the game to end?<br><br>
- A pre-determined end date? (Apr 27 - May 31), where the top team wins?<br><br>
- A set point total (6900, or 8000, or 10,000), with no set dates, but where the first team to xx points wins?<br><br>
There are pros and cons to both ways. Also, keep in mind that Memorial Day weekend falls right at the 4 week mark. I'd hate to see some participants not able to play due to family getaways and such. For example, if its a race to the finish, I'd hate to see a team win or lose due to players not accessing computers due to holiday. (Also, I just did not envision this game to be a function of speed to enter in the workouts.)<br><br>
I had set the May 31 end date for a couple reasons: players from last round mentioned the game ended too soon, and that the game would end well after the Memorial Day weekend and to ensure that everyone has a day or two to enter in their scores.<br><br>
What do think? A pre-determined end date, or point total?<br><br>
I have my recommendations, but ask for your input too.<br>
Thanks,<br>
