Texas PPWC Shootout 2009

Texas Per Person Word Count Shootout

What is it? A competition among the Texas regions to see which one has the highest word count when averaged among participants. To be held during NaNo 09. Results announced on Dec 1 2009. How are results calculated? The total word count for the region after Nov 30 is divided by the number of "active participants" for that region. 1000 total words for region / 10 active participants = 100 words per person The Texas region with the highest PPWC wins. What is an "active participant"? An active participant has to have submitted any word count greater than zero for THIS YEAR. Many people signed up years ago have haven't submitted a count since then. Why are results calculated that way? Many cities have an unfair advantage when it comes to over all word count because they have a large population. This competition focuses on dedication rather than head count. Example: Region 1 may have 10 APs(active participants) and 1000 words total Region 2 may have 100 APs and 1000 words total The PPWC for Region 1 is 100 words and the PPWC for Region 2 is 10 words. Region 1 would be the winner. How can we keep track of who is in the lead? http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/wordcount_stats Watch the leader board and sort by average. What does the winning region receive? That region will be declared "NaNoWriMo Capitol of Texas 2009" They will be given a link to download a paper trophy. (complete with folding base to stand upright) Winning ML may distribute said link to all their WriMos. All ML's whose region participated but did not win will send an email to the winning ML acknowledging their status (signed) which may be posted on the winner's site and/or forum. What do the non winning regions have to do? All ML's whose region participated but did not win will send an email to the winning ML acknowledging their status (signed) which may be posted on the winner's site or forum. Somewhere in the email must be the line: "We the Wrimos of [your region] do here by recognize [winning region] as the sovereign NaNoWriMo Capitol of Texas 2009." An extra note of praise, congratulations, and/or playful barbing is optional. How does my region sign up? The challenge can only be accepted by a Texas ML. If you are a Texas ML leave a post below stating your intention to participate in the 2009 Shootout. Leave your NaNoWriMo user name and the name of your region as it appears on the leader board.
