volunteers.  Need to shed a few or perhaps many pounds?  Here's an
opportunity to get yourself in better shape.

The Deets:

Here are our guidelines/rules based off our prior BL1
<http://jpowell.blogs.com/jason_powell_church_it/2008/04/church-its-bigg
.html> and BL2
<http://jpowell.blogs.com/jason_powell_church_it/2008/08/church-techs-bi
.html> contests ...  

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.
Don't fit the above roles, but want to join too? Shoot me an email and
we can discuss.
$25 to register ... no refunds period! 

Dates  

*	Starts November 13 ... but you can join at ANY TIME. Just means
you have less time to burn off the flab.  
*	Ends March 12 (4 months)  
*	Winners get a split of the total registration pot less paypal
transaction fees (~2.5%) ... breakdown of 75%, 20%, 5% ... we'll also
get vendors to kick in prizes too and those well be in the mix to choose
from as well. 

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, don't cheat! If you are dishonest
God will deal with you justly.
