OKTOBER MILEAGEFEST 2009
 
From October 1st to November 1st. 2009
 
No membership required to post mileage at http://www.snailspacegroup.com/
 
To report your mileage you can email me at timothyhood@hotmail.com, post
your miles at  "Oktober Mileagefest" on http://www.snailspacegroup.com/ to me at Monday and Wednesday Fountain  Valley runs or leave me a message at 714-969-8594. You can even mail me your mileage at Tim Hood, 919 Alabama St. Huntington Beach, Ca. 92648
 
Get one of the six highest scores when your miles are adjusted to Dave Campbell miles.  
You will get a Dave upgrade percentage based on your previous Oktober Mileage Fest or we will compute one for you.
 
If you run and report at least 9 times during the month then there is no issue.
Below is a more detailed description of the rules due to miscreants of the past.
 
THE OBJECT OF THE COMPETITION
The object is to run more and have fun comunicating to other people. There are prizes for the 6 highest Dave Campbell miles, reaching 150 miles and reporting 9 times. There is no prize for the most miles other then bragging rights. I don't wish to encourage people running stupid numbers of miles. For the record Dave Campbell reported the most miles with over 500 miles.You can get a percentage of 500 percent and beat him with only 100 miles .
 
REPORTs:
Reports only count if you report them one of the ways above. Writing a mileage report in your personal journal does not count as a report for this contest. Report all mileage and total from the last time you reported. I do count your reports given to me by other people.
 
HONOR SYSTEM
Yes, this event is on the honor system. Let your morals be the guide. If you have no morals consider asking someone who has them.
 
MILEAGE NUMBER
You must run at least 1 mile between reports. Decimal miles are not tracked accurately by me. 6.87 miles might be rounded to 7 miles. Dam those Garmens!
 
NUMBER OF POST RULES:
If you run 150 miles and only report 3 times you will officially have reported 25*3=75 miles. The 150 miles won't be official until you report 6 times. You must report 9 times during the month to be elgible for any prizes. The reason for this rule is that other people need to see your progress. You can do a last post until November 5th 2006.
 
Trash Talk
If you post into someone elses trash talk area on the web site put your initials after the words. Egging another runner on or challenging someone else with humor is encouraged. Don't insult someones disabled family member often.
   
POSTING MILEAGE TO ME (Tim Hood)
Phone, email, in person, mail postings. When posting mileage to me give me your name, total miles so far, miles accrued since your last report and number of reports so far and a comment( trash talk) if you like. Sometimes you or I lose track and this helps us make things accurate. If you only use the web site this is not an issue.
 
SPURS POINTS FOUNTAIN VALLEY, NOT SPCRS POINTS
You get Spurs points for each mile you run in October.
To get maximum points you must report yourmileage to me 6 times. Maximum points are 300 plus some bonuses. 150 miles max will be counted and give you 300 SPURS points. You must report 9 times to be eligible for all prizes. Spurs points=150+your mileage+1st-5th bonus points.
 
MILEAGE
The general rule is that mileage counts if you dress to work out and run or walk it counts. Running on a treadmill counts. Record mileage as equivalent road miles. No roller blading, bicycling, sailing, driving or any other thing that shouldn't logically count. Hiking, walking, running as a workout counts! Challenged atheletes can use a equivalent road miles for wheel chairs as they see fit.
 
DURATION
The contest is from October 1st 12:00am to October 31st midnight.  
 
SPELLING
I am an enginer, I have never had too spel weal and I don't intend to start!
