Quick question: "your better time counts" Does that mean the time of submission after the start of each challenge? Reply #22. Feb 23 20, 4:08 PM |

Leith90, MikeMaster99 and 1nn1 will form one of the Phoenix Rising teams and will work on the TEAM variant (though we may well pick up the extra quiz if time permits). Team name to follow Reply #23. Feb 24 20, 2:58 AM |

VegemiteKid and pollucci19 will be the other PR side. Team name is (tentatively) "Two Bears and a Packet of Chips" Reply #24. Feb 24 20, 4:10 AM |

darksplash, when the challenges are released, each taskmaster has a thread for posting tasks with a timer trigger attached to it. The first time you click that thread after a task has been posted is when you start that timer. So you can grab one task, work it to the end, submit and then do the same for the other, on a brand new timer, in the hope of improving. Of course if you immediately check both tasks and then decide which one to do, both timers are on, so you would probably not gain much from doing the second one after the first (unless you could get a massive time bonus).

I seem to have had a bad case of quiz writer's block lately - but I really don't want to miss out on this challenge, so I'll sign up for standard. Reply #26. Feb 27 20, 5:24 AM |

I haven't written a quiz in ages, but last year I enjoyed my very first Sprint so much that I didn't want to miss this one either. Sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right inspiration, and these challenges always provide it in spades! Reply #27. Feb 27 20, 6:42 AM |

I need some motivation to finish off some ancient templates I have got hanging around, and get my writing mojo back, so please can I sign up as a solo player Wes? Do I need a "team" name, or just play as Rowena? Reply #28. Feb 28 20, 2:28 AM |

Leith90, MikeMaster99 and 1nn1 will sprint as the LeMoNracers. Capitalisation is important! Reply #29. Feb 28 20, 2:32 AM |

IMPORTANT PRE-START INFO: To be credited with a finishing time on this Sprint, your entries will have to contain at least one photo quiz (if you have that capability) or one 20 or 25 question quiz (if you don't - you cannot use this option if you have photo quiz privileges). You will also need to have at least one match quiz. Which round you use to fill these requirements is entirely up to you, but you may not wish to wait until the last moment, as it could catch you off guard - also, be aware from the start that the round 9 task *cannot* work with the Match format or 20+ questions and will be very difficult to do as a photo task, so you need to effectively be done with the two specials by round 8. If a round or bonus asks for a multiple choice quiz, all questions must be multiple choice; a photo quiz meeting this requirement does of course count. Ironman players or Braces will have to meet these criteria once per taskmaster; it is however legit for a Brace to have both photo quizzes or both match quizzes by the same author (as long as they are for different taskmasters). Please also note that you need to make the requirement with a quiz that actually counts for your timer, so if you're Standard, submit a photo quiz and then try to improve your time with the second task, you'd need to also do a photo quiz (or redo that option later). If anything like this happens, we'll try to find the best setup for you in terms of total time :) Reply #30. Feb 28 20, 8:20 AM |

Sorry to bother you, Wes, but you counted me twice :D. I am in a two-person team with Gracious1! Reply #31. Feb 28 20, 8:43 AM |

Question Wes: are existing templates acceptable or do they have to be fresh as of the start time? Reply #32. Feb 28 20, 11:52 AM |

Kyle, you might want to read the tasks more closely than you did the intro post :) "- You are allowed and encouraged to use and repurpose old templates for the Sprint. You are even allowed to finish up half-done quizzes if they fit your task (lucky!) as long as they had never been submitted before. Do some cleaning up while racking up great scores!" Reply #34.

First tasks are expected to hit around noon FT time (6pm UTC). After that time, be careful about accessing any task threads as you WILL start your timer. Reply #36. Feb 29 20, 3:23 AM |

The game will launch in just a few minutes. ***DO NOT CLICK THE TASK THREADS FROM NOW ON UNLESS YOU WANT TO START YOUR ROUND*** Any last second (or beyond) joins can still sign up until March 3, but doing so will give you a short time window for the first round. Good luck, Sprinters! Reply #37. Feb 29 20, 11:43 AM |
