Ok Ima try it this year, though I’m still intimidated by all the rules. I don’t wanna be the one who somehow messes up the game for everyone. At least I know that if I mess up Carol will know I didn’t do it on purpose, cuz she’s Carol [emoji16][emoji177]

Here’s my card url.

bingobaker.com#6779690

Wait I’m already confused…. How can my card be the same as Sarah [emoji219]’s? And also you said hers isn’t valid so maybe mine is also not valid [emoji848][emoji1744]

[Nadine]

So I get the page with the card, but no url. Then when I try to share it I get a link to the one that ends in 9690, which is the one you’re telling everyone is invalid.

aaaand it’s not even working to share a screenshot here. [emoji2358][emoji1744]

Oooooh maybe it worked this time!

It’s absolutely not possible for anyone to mess up the game for everyone. I just want to make sure everyone who wants to play gets to do so.

As discussed in this post, the forum will be down starting tomorrow, and may not come back up until Saturday. Given that the deadline for creating your Bingo card is Sunday, you may want to get that out of the way before the forum goes down. See the first post in this thread for instructions.

Also, it appears that generating your card may not work properly if you are using a phone rather than a computer. (The card once generated will work on either.) So if you don’t have a computer handy to generate a card, feel free to reply here or send me a message, and I can generate a card for you. But again, you may want to do that today, before the forum goes down.

Thank you! I am far from an expert on doing spreadsheets, and never would have figured it out without yours to copy.

If you want to play (at least the first round), you’ll need to sign up by 11:59:59 pm tomorrow (Sunday). I obviously don’t want people choosing their cards after items have already been called. And we have at least one participant who is a fellow midnight rider, so I want to call the first item as soon after midnight on January 1 as possible.

Reminders regarding sign-up:

• To sign up, you’ll need to go to https://bingobaker.com/#657aacf7eb03d5af on a computer (not a phone), click on “Generate Card,” and then post the URL of the card that comes up to this forum. If you don’t have access to a computer, you can post on this forum, send me a private message via this forum, or contact me in any other way you know of, and ask me to generate a card for you. The card once generated will work on either a computer or phone, but it has to be generated on a computer.
• If you want to make sure you’re signed up, you can check this link.
• I will attempt to follow everyone who enters the contest. If you need to accept the follow, please do. (This is so I can verify your finds.)

Once the competition starts:

• I will announce each day’s item some time before midnight the night before (except the January 1 item, which will be announced just after midnight). You can find the day’s item either by checking the first post on this thread or by going to this link and clicking on the “Game #1 Call Sheet” tab.
• You can find only one item per day. However, there are 75 possible items, and only 25 on your card, so on average an item on your card will be called only about once every three days. That allows you plenty of time to find items you didn’t get on the first day they were called.
• Once you find an item, you need to post a picture here and on your Strava ride. Mark the Strava ride with #Bingo.
• After you’ve done the above, you can mark the item on your card by clicking (on a computer) or touching (on your phone) the applicable square. Once you have a line of five items (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), you can come back here and post that you have a Bingo. The first one to post a Bingo (assuming it is verified) wins the first round. We’ll keep starting subsequent rounds for as long as Freezing Saddles continues.

Have questions? You can post on this forum, send me a private message via this forum, or contact me in any other way you know of.
