Upate: Weigh in will be next Wenesday 1-29 at Skunkworks. If you owe money bring it then. If you cant make the weigh in then coordinate with myself or Tiger Rag to get scheduled before. Wenesday is the last day. Good Luck and eat at alot this weekend
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
Starting January 1st Area 51 will have an 8 week weight loss competition. Here is how it works- You pay 40 bucks (20 for the 1st 4 weeks and 20 for the next 4 weeks) and get weighed at the Death Valley convergence on January 1st. On January 29th you will weigh again. At this point the 1st and 2nd place winners will be determined. (80/20 method will be used for winnings. See below) We will use percentage body weight loss calculation to determine the winner. This makes it fair for all. (See below example).
Rules-
.
Let me know in comments if you are in. I will get there at 0630 for the early weigh in. Maybe someone will step up and lead a KB workout to keep you busy. We will also do weigh ins after.
The following have hard committed
Radar, Semi Gloss, Dora, Tiger Rag, Soul Glow, Spackler, Bannanas
Example of how calculations will work: Pax #1
Starting Weight- 235
4 week Weight- 222
Loss- 13lbs
13/235=.0553
.0553*100
Percentage Weight loss- 5.53%
Pax #2
Starting Weight- 185
4 week Weight- 172
Loss- 13lbs
13/185=.070
.070*100=7.02
Percentage Weight loss- 7.02%
In this scenario the two Pax lost the same amount of lb’s but PAX # 2’s Percentage was higher. He wins
Example of how Payout will work:
Assuming 20 PAX pay $40 January 1rst the total pot would be $800
January 29 weigh in- 1rst place get 80% of $400 and 2nd Place gets 20%
Feb 26th weigh in- 1rst place get 80% of $400 and 2nd Place gets 20%
