RULES
our contest for the month of june will be the eastside hunger games. members have been assigned to districts within the hunger games canon. each district will have a "lounge," or a post where teammates can strategize in character to earn points and also to socialize! we will keep track of the points in the hunger games tally page, linked below. the contest will run from 12:00 am june 1st through 11:59 pm june 30th.

general: • each week, we will be eliminating the three lowest scoring teams. however, they will be considered sponsors from then on and are able to still earn points. sponsors will have the opportunity to donate their points to members who are still competing, therefore having a strong influence on the game. while they will be unable to win the hunger games, they can still earn fun swag and bragging rights at the end of the competition.
• districts have been randomly assigned and new members will be added at random throughout the month. we will do our best to keep the districts even.
participation is optional! please respect other members' choice if they prefer not to participate or do additional activity.
• only ic activity on the friends page counts for points, with the exception of ~pbads.

drop-off: • all links must be dropped off in your district's drop-off post to be counted towards the totals. links for your district's drop-off will be found on the hunger games tally page.
• if you have links that are not dropped off by elimination days on the 9th, 16th, and 23rd, you will still earn points but may not prevent your district from being eliminated. if your district is eliminated, your points will go towards sponsoring instead. please keep in mind, there are only two of us to tally everything, so your cooperation is appreciated.

activity rooms: • if you host an activity room, such as rabb.it, you must advertise these in the tracked post at least four hours before the activity. these rooms must be available to all members.
• because there is a post specifically for alerting members to the rooms, we will not be allowing any ~newyorknewyork posts specifically advertising rooms to count towards points. you may choose to post this and can still earn points for hosting, but you will not earn any points for the post itself and any comments made to these posts are not eligible for points.
