It is time for another event! It is back to school for petz and humans for the next two months. You'll need to pick a team, which is will, as a group, need to pick a school name, color, mascot, etc. Each school will create it's own thread to create team spirit and to pass messages to each other.

To join, just post here with your name and which team/school you would like to join. Please try to keep the schools even in their attendence rolls though, you may be asked to join a different team if one is already pretty uneven.
So, you are probably asking yourself how this event works - how do the schools earn points? Well, I'm glad you asked! There are several ways you can earn points...
Shows
You can create any kind of show or contest, whether traditional or creative and get points for your school. Please use the prefix (B2S) before any shows that will count toward this event so that everyone knows which shows count.+2 points for opening a show
+3 points for judging a show and assigning points by posting here (see below)
+1 point for each UNIQUE graphic award, up to 5 maximum (ie. if you copy winners onto the same background, that is 1 point, if each pet has a unique award, that would be 1 each)

Points for Graphics:
Each show will have up to 15 points for the judge to distribute as they determine appropriate, no more than 5 points per entry. Typically, this would be given as BIS (5 pts), 1st (4 pts), 2nd (3 pts), 3rd (2 pts), HM (1 pt), but if you choose to give more placements, you can redistribute the points. If there are fewer entries, you can't give more than 5 points per entry however. Feel free to award more placements even if they don't get points if you choose as well.
Playdates
+5 points for hosting a fun playdate (ie. bring out pets, let them meet and play, etc.). Points only awarded if you post photo updates or stream the event and if they include petz from each team.+1 point for each participant in playdates
Ideas for playdates might include: school, fall, fall holidays, fall sports (non-competitive). Please use the prefix (B2S) before any playdates for this event.

Chores
This is where the bulk of your points will come from and is the point of the event! Life can be crazy and hectic and we found that petz rewards can motivate us to do real life tasks that need done. So the goal of this event is to help us to do real life!To do this, each person will create a list unique to them of things they would like to do. This could be things you want to make a habit, a habit you want to break, a task you need to do weekly or daily, etc. You will include what the task is, how often you want to do it, how long it takes you, and how hard it is for you (on a 1-10 scale, 1 = easy, 10 = impossible). Then the school board members will meet together and assign points to each member for their list. For example, if Person A wants to make teeth brushing a better habit and it takes 2 minutes daily and is a 3 in hardness, they would maybe get 1 point for that each day they do it. If Person B wanted to exercise for an hour at least twice a week and it was really difficult, say a 9 for them, then they would get more points for each time they were successful. It doesnt have to be real life things, it could be hexing or website updates or whatever! You could also ask to get X points/ 10 minutes or any time period if it is something like cleaning or website updates or whatever that could be timed.

How Long Does it Take:
How Hard (1-10):
Each person will be in charge of starting a new thread on their kennel board to keep track of their points for each day. Daily posts can be posted in whatever way you wish, but the first post should include this information.

Voting
At the end of the event, we will have voting just like we are doing with the Summer Olympics! We will take nominations for a week (each person sending a nomination will get 1 point and each person nominated will get 5 points). Then we will do a week of voting and each person winning will get 10 additional points! Categories marked with a * will either be chosen by Emmer OR will be determined by a super special secret not-to-be-revealed count - everything else will be voted on.
