September Challenge / Schedule



Here is the new September challenge and schedule...and since I'm the giver of this challenge, I shall create the rules and the rewards.

Rules

Rule 1: Each week there will be at least 3 official "challenges" (so deemed by the person in charge that week), but no more than 4 official "challenges" in any given week.

Rule 2: Each challenge is worth X points to those who finish it in this fashion:

1st Place: 4 points
2nd Place: 3 points
3rd Place: 2 points
Finished WOD: 1 point

**Completing the CowBell Monthly Challenge: 15 points (CowBell monthly challenge for August was Ring Dips. So, for example, if you did the 500+ ring dips then you'd automatically have 15 points in your favor at the end of the month. September's challenge: 250 (125/each arm) x 70lb KB press/push presses/push jerks)**

Rule 3: Each challenge WOD must be 20 minutes or less in length.

Rule 4: At the end of the month, a tally will be given and the winner will receive a prize, from me. The 2nd place finisher will also receive a prize, though of slightly lesser value. Each prize will be shipped to the winners home address where they will be required to (1) take a picture of them and the prize and (2) post that picture to this here website. The prizes are currently in my possession and, IMO, are worthy of your finest efforts.

Rule 5: Everyone is invited to participate. This includes Naylor's EQ, Jake's MWF posse, etc. This week will have 3 "challenge" WODs and they'll be on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to encourage participation and competition.

Now, if I haven't missed anything, here is the schedule for September and into October. We are switching from a weekly WOD prescribing format to an every 3 week format. Hopefully this works for everyone.

Schedule:
September 01 - 14: Tom
September 15 - October 05: Naylor
October 06 - October 26: Jake
October 27 - November 16: ? (Berb, let me know if this works for you)

At the end of this time (or earlier if necessitated), we'll re-evaluate the frequency of scheduling WODs and either shorten, keep the same or lengthen the schedule to monthly. Suggestions are appreciated.

Any questions and/or suggestions...please post them to the comments. This is my first go at this so some modifications that you see may be necessary.

Without further ado, let's get this thing rolling. Monday's WOD will be posted under a separate header.
