I would really like to get involved this year as a volunteer (unless something catastrophic happens with work/travel). I indicated a bunch of things on my registration form, which I’m sure will be updated here in due course.
My question for the moment is when is the kick-off event? (Or an approximate idea?) I recall we had one last year, but I don’t remember if it was in December or not. We’re getting into that time of year that the sooner dates get into my calendar, the less likely I am to overbook.

;Join the FS calendar, upon which upcoming events may be found (well, theoretically, it’s just getting started).

Let me know if it works.

I received it directly from your gmail invitation–thank you so much! My Google phone now tells me when I’m sleeping through Coffee Club.
That said, seeing when the registration for BAFS ends, I can surmise that the kick-off event won’t be until January?

Yes, all rides from January 1 count, but we typically have the kick-off event, at which teams are announced, sometime in the first week or so of January.

May I suggest that that we send out some sort of e-mail between the close of registration and the start of the contest outlining the rules, advertising happy hour and offering encouragement?
I did do this last year. If you’d like to do it this year, though, I’m happy to pass on the task.
Did you not get last year’s email, or it didn’t provide the information you needed? I kept it short under the theory more people would actually read it that way.@Judd 149749 wrote:
As a new person last year I was at times a bit confused at the start of the competition. There’s also a lot of folks that miss posted information on the forums or are overwhelmed by the activity on the forums.
Again, if I may promote myself, this is why the STICKY POST (link) is there. It is updated regularly, I promise. It currently does not have (for example) happy hour information because no one has arranged happy hour yet, but when there is information to post, I will post it. Again, I would like feedback– do you not think it provides adequate information (either not enough information, or too much to read, or not well explained), or did you/do you not realize it is there? I’m trying to make sure that people (especially new people) have a way to find the basic information they need, so to the extent that I’m not accomplishing that, please let me know where the problems are (and if you have thoughts on how to do it differently).
