mawz,
I'm a little unclear about something. Is this going to be a public or private challenge? I would imagine the only way to run something like this is to do a private challenge, but managing that many individual challenges would be a pain in the (rear).
Also, will you be sending out all pre-season and regular season challenges all at the same time, or will you issue them weekly? My vote is for all at the same time in case people forget to check their challenges 3 months from now.
Thanks for putting this together.
Brian

Hey Brian,
Those are good questions. I have set up a public invite for sign-ups only. Once a person joins, they post their team in trashtalk and then I add them to their team's list and remove them from the public invite.
But basically this is a private challenge. It probably will be a pain in the rear... but I love football and a challenge so I'm up for it. Besides, it motivates me to keep running.
Preseason has been issued and consists consists of two separate challenges -- one for AFC teams and one for NFC teams -- each lasting 28 days (August 6th to Sept. 2nd).
When regular season starts I plan to issue challenges 4 weeks at a time. So Wks 1-4, then Wks 5-8, then Wks 9-12, then Wks 13-17. Each weekly match-up will have it's own challenge and will be individual-run not team-run. This way it will be easier to see who's doing what distance and teammates can push each other. (If you forget who's on your team the rosters will always be posted on the blog). Whomever runs the most in each match-up will be that game's MVP and of course win a trophy. But the final scores and overall standings will be posted on the blog.
You had a concern about people not checking their challenges. Hopefully people will be active and engaged in this challenge. But we will see what happens. Most likely if someone doesn't accept the challenge for a week it won't matter because the final score is based on each team's average mileage, NOT total mileage. However, if a teammate accepts the challenge and posts no mileage... it WILL figure into the average (as 0 miles) for the final score. So we may have some upsets!... and some upset runners... but football is a team effort and so is this challenge, so I want to see you guys pushing your teammates.
Hope that answered your questions... I will post this on the blog as well. I'm sure others were wondering some of these things as well.
Good luck to your Bears (although my Colts will whoop 'em every time!!!)
