I haven't started a new book yet but I don't want to if it means it doesn't count.
And if you read a book in week 1 and a couple of weeks later on it fits a task would it count or does it only count for the week that you read it in?

You'll have to wait for that. I'm not sure who made those and since they were not made by mod account I don't have access to change it.

Sounds good. Thanks for the quick reply. :)

Only books read by members of the team since challenge started are able to be used for the spell it out? Or must books be read that week?
Also, am I correct that if the country/city is less than 6 letters long then the max number of points the team can get for that spell it out would just be 10?
Sorry, just trying to get everything in order in my head haha

Spell-it-out rules
Using the first letter in the book’s title, the first letter of the series name, the first letter in the author’s first or last name, or the first letter of a character’s first, last, or nick-name, or the first letter in the audiobook narrators first or last name.
If you are reading a translated version, you can also use the first letter of the translator's first or last name.
As always, if the first letter of a title starts with ‘A’, ‘An’, ‘The’, etc., you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word.
You can check out the example under the spoiler tag here
Only books read by members of the team since challenge started are able to be used for the spell it out? Or must books be read that week?
As soon as you are assigned a team, books STARTED from then count for the whole of the challenge (min. 8 weeks)
Also, am I correct that if the country/city is less than 6 letters long then the max number of points the team can get for that spell it out would just be 10?
Points
TASKS
◈ Completing a task will earn the team 10 points AND
◈ If at least 6 members of the team read a book that contributes to the tasks, that is an additional 15 points AND
◈ If ALL team members read a book for the time you are at the stop, that is an additional 10 points
--so you would not get the additional 15 points. Just 10 and 10 if you did the spell-it-out and all read a book. So some teams have already worked out not to do the spell-it-out for countries like Japan or Spain as they want maximum points :)

Can you double check The Book Well Travelled / Team 4's sheet? I can't edit it... Is Google hating me again?
Google has been known to take against me for reasons unknown. It manifests itself in all sorts of annoying ways... mucking about with my edit ability in Drive is highly likely.

Had to go searching, but I found it!
--A detour requires at least 4 members of the team to complete that goal before the detour is considered complete.

The rules say we move to a new stop each week. My team was formed today (Friday), so I'm assuming that our new stop will happen each new Friday? If we decided to spend an extra day to get the full team bonus, do our weeks then reset on Saturday from there on out?
If we choose to do the set in/author option, does that require 4 people as well? The rules specify 4 people for detours but not for the set in/author task.
You need to be at each stop for a minimum of a week, but there is no penalty for staying longer. So in your example, if you stayed at stop one from fri-sat then you may do stop two from sat-sat.
Tasks don't require a set number of people like the detour, however, if you want maximum points then six people need to contribute to the task (as that gives you an additional 15 points)

not really, no.
I'm not at a computer, so no access to the Travel Agent account, but we'll fix it soon.

1. Any questions about how to play the game (i.e. need clarification of a rule) you can ask the NBRC Travel Agent.
2. If you have questions like "Is this book yellow enough for the 'Read a book with a yellow cover' detour'? " You can ask your fellow players in this thread.
3.The travel agent may stop by here occasionally, but as this is a self managed challenge, we are relying on you and your peers to help with answering each other's questions. You can also refer to the Goal FAQ spreadsheet
What does this mean? That the Travel Agent will only answer questions about rules and how to play.
If a traveler ask a question about a goal, we're hoping that the other players help finding a solution, instead of waiting that a mod or the Travel Agent answers.

Plurals are acceptable, but can we use other forms of the word as well? For example: Sorcery....Sorcerer? Magic...Magician? Enchant....Enchantment? etc.?
