"Finally, we'd like to announce our summer mini-project - The Summer Chameleon, an individual challenge with the aim of allocating points to atlasers for making pentads change colour! We did this a few years back and, backed by popular demand, we have decided to do this again. The focus here is to go wide - more points are given for un-atlased pentads or pentads with few checklists and there are even bonus points awarded depending on what number checklist it is. The summer chameleon runs from the 19 November (so already some of you have points on the board) through to 15 February. There is a leaderboard on the homepage http://sabap2.adu.org.za) so you can track how you are doing and how others are doing.
This is how the point system will work:
15 points for making a pentad yellow (1st list),
12 points for making a pentad orange (2nd list),
10 for light green (4th list),
9 for dark green (7th list),
8 for light blue (11th list),
7 for dark blue (16th list),
6 for red (25th),
5 for purple (50th),
4 for pink (100th),
PLUS
5 points for every checklist for pentads with fewer than 7 checklists,
4 points for every checklist in a pentad with fewer than 16 checklists,
2 points for a checklist between 16 and 25 lists
1 point for each checklist in a pentad with more than 25 lists
... and we offer a bonus of 5 points for lists from pentads in Lesotho and the Northern Cape, provided they are lists 1 to 7.
