| January 11, 2010 - Week 0 of Starvation | |
| The results are posted at this random website. | |
| 1. | The contest will start on January 11, 2010. Each Friday morning after that will be a weigh-in day until April 23, 2010 (15 weeks). |
| 2. | Each location will have an
official weigh-in scale. Weigh-in is done with shoes off, pockets
empty. If you cannot weigh in on Friday, please make arrangements with the person in charge of the scale at your facility. In Auburn Hills South, please see Andreas Knueppel. In Auburn Hills North, please see Emmanuel Garcia (unless you're in the second floor and can't be bothered to walk downstairs). |
| 3. | Taunting is allowed, and sometimes encouraged. |
| 4. | Cook Rule: There can be a total of 2 missed weeks that will be interpolated. At the third missed weigh in, the previous week will be used. If 3 or more consecutive weeks are missed, then I will invoke mystical weight loss contest algorithms to make something up. |
| 5. | Bonus points will be given
if your starting weight is lower than either your starting or ending weight
from the last diet contest, if you lost weight in the last contest. If you
gained weight at the last contest, bonus points may be awarded if your current
starting weight is lower than your previous starting weight. If your current starting weight is less than your previous starting weight, the percent weight loss difference will be added to your weekly score. If your current starting weight is less than your previous ending weight, you will receive points for the percent difference from your previous start and end weights, plus two times the percentage difference between your previous end weight and your current starting weight. |
| For those engineers that can't read, the
last category can be summed up in the following formula: ((prev_start_weight - current_start_weight) + (prev_end_weight - current_start_weight)) / current start weight Example: Prev start: 120 lb Prev end: 110 lb Current start: 100 lb Bonus = ((120 - 100) + (110 - 100)) / 100 = 30% |
|
| 6. | Points will be awarded based on weight loss and body characteristics. Please see http://mr-eman.homeftp.org/~diet/ for formula and current point status. Highest point total wins the contest. |
| 7. | All participants are invited to the BFLG lunch at the Chinese buffet on Baldwin after the end of the contest, date TBD. |
