I think this thread has taken a turn for the worse!!
Am I invited to the wedding? sheesh
And Chillen...whats the deal here pal?!?
1. We need to obtain an accurate list of who wants to participate as the person working toward a goal.
Goals are to be "plainly understood".
2. From this list, we need to learn which forum members have simular goals and do our best in pairing them.
We have to weigh the differences (equipment availability, etc) to make this as fair as possible.
3. We need to obtain an accurate list of (non-professional trainers, and I dont need to explain this do I?), that are going to be partnering with each participating person. With 1 and 2 in mind, we then can get an idea if we have "enough" persons involved to attempt to make this work.
Example:
A.
Trainer (and I think we understand this term in the context of our topic)
1. Chillen
2. etc...
======================
B.
Members with goals participating: (concisely defined)
1. Dallen
2. JDie
3. Big T
4. Kraken
5. etc...
================================
C.
Members paired in competition:
1. Kraken V Big T
2. etc.........
Define......start and end dates.
================================
ALL names are out in the open.
4. WE NEED TO STAY TO THE TOPIC (PLEASE, second request), and:
A. Define the rules of engagement "specifically", and get it nailed down so everyone understands and agrees.
From refining comments in this thread, we can then make a "sticky" thread (or what ever we agree to), and place this info in there........all nice and neat, concise, and LOCKED......no comments allowed, other than adjustments by admin/mods through agreed changes/implementations.
If we go the journal method, each pairing forum member has a simular graphic in the subject line to assist with defining who is partnered with who.
and/or
We can put this in the "sticky" suggestion or separate thread on its own (suggestions here?)
Personally I could CARELESS if didnt work in the past. These are different times and different people, and THE PEOPLE MAKE OR BREAK IT, bottom line. If doesnt work, we are the blame, IMO.
(Oh, crap, I didnt lose one pound last week.......Maybe this didnt work......do I need to adjust something?)
Its either broken or fixed by what we do. Act accordingly.
I will write some more in just a little bit........when I finish reading the posts that are "applicable".
Best regards,
Chillen
