The Floor Challenge
Mod
How to play:
Unlike the TV show, this challenge will not have head-to-head duels. Each participant will be split into teams evenly. Each team will get their own floor to complete. Once completed, you will start the challenge all over and begin the game again.
The floor will have 100 different square spaces/categories. Each space/category will have 2 tasks. In order to win a square space/category, you will need to complete both tasks. These do not need to be completed in any particular order since the board will be revealed at the beginning of the challenge.
Bonus Opportunities:
Each team will get 50 bonus points every time they complete the board. Each participant will also get a chance to win other bonus point opportunities throughout the challenge. These will appear on a weekly basis. Individual bonus points will be added at the end of the challenge.

This challenge will only take place during the months of November and December. That means, books will be accepted from November 1st to December 31st. The winners will be announced on January 1st.
If you start a book before November, you will only be able to count the pages that you read in November for this challenge. If the page amount is over 100 pages, you can still count it towards a category.
When signing up, please mention the number of books you plan on reading for the months of November and December. This number will make it easier for me to make teams match up a bit more evenly.
For example,
Alaina - 20 bpm
Aly - 25 bpm
Jamie - 10 bpm
Jessica - 15 bpm
Melanie - 10 bpm
Anshika - 3 bpm
Saige - 8 bpm
**bpm = books per month**
**You will not be penalized if you go over or under your number.**
The general challenge rules can be found here.

The Floor Challenge
The Floor is an American game show based on the Dutch game show of the same name. Standing in separate squares of a floor grid, contestants with expertise in a variety of trivia subjects challenge each other in head-to-head duels, with the winner of each duel taking over all territory controlled by the loser.
The season begins with 100 contestants standing in separate spaces of a ten-by-ten grid on the studio floor. Each contestant has a category in which they feel particularly knowledgeable. The game progresses over the course of a season, with the grand prize awarded to the player who ultimately controls the entire floor. Secondary prizes are awarded throughout the season to the player with the most territory at the end of each episode.
One contestant is chosen at random and shown the categories of all opponents whose territories share at least one edge of their own, then chooses one of them to face in a head-to-head duel. The two contestants take turns identifying a series of images or words associated with the challenged opponent's category. They are given separate 45-second clocks, only one of which runs at any given time, starting with the challenger.
The contestant in control must give a correct answer in order to stop their clock and turn control over to the opponent. Multiple guesses are allowed without penalty, and a contestant may pass whenever desired; however, they must wait three seconds for a new image or text to be shown. Some categories are text-based, requiring contestants to perform tasks such as filling in the missing word(s) of a book title or naming the movie from which a famous quote is taken.
The first contestant to run out of time is eliminated from the game and gives up their territory to the winner, who takes/retains the challenger's category. The winner may then either challenge another opponent or return to the grid; in the latter case, a new contestant is selected at random from those who have not yet played a duel. When only two contestants remain, the one controlling more territory decides whose category will be used for the finale duel.
