Spring 2009 Chameleon Challenge

Besides WHAMB, which is a �communal challenge�, SABAP2 will also have an �individual challenge� this spring, the �Spring Chameleon Challenge�. This is simply a continuation of the Winter Chameleon Challenge, except that we will level the playing field and set everyone�s chameleon points counter back to zero.

The notable characteristic of chameleons is that they change colour. So the objective of the SABAP2 Spring Chameleon Challenge is to get pentads to change colour. It is an individual challenge, so there will be points for each atlaser who participates; this time, this includes the �additional observers� on checklists.

First of all, we want to get pentads started, and to change their colour to yellow. There are "pioneer points" for the atlasers who expand the frontiers of the coverage map. There are "chamaeleon points" for atlasers when they do the checklist that changes the colour of a pentad on the coverage map. There are bonus "dark green chameleon points" for the seventh checklist for a pentad, the one that changes the colour of a pentad to "dark green" - we would be ecstatic if we could turn the entire atlas area to "dark green". And finally, there are bonus "bright chameleon points" for going really deep, and changing the colour of a pentad to one of the bright colours: "red", "purple" and "pink". The Spring Chameleon Challenge starts on Saturday 1 August 2009 and ends on Monday 30 November.

Scoring scheme

You get one point for every checklist you do. You get a bonus of four "pioneer points" if it is the first checklist for a pentad. You get a bonus of two "chameleon points" when you submit the checklist that changes the colour of a pentad on the coverage map (ie the second, fourth, seventh, 11th, 16th, 25th, 50th and 100th checklist). You get an extra bonus of two "dark green chameleon points" if your checklist makes the pentad "dark green" on the coverage map (the seventh checklist for the pentad). So you get five points if you do the seventh checklist for a pentad, and change the colour to "dark green". And you get an extra bonus of three "bright chameleon points" for doing the list that changes the colour of a pentad to "red" (the 25th checklists), "purple" (the 50th checklist) or "pink" (100th checklist).

So the change between the �Winter Chameleon Challenge� and the �Spring Chameleon Challenge� is that there will be points for all the observers who participated in compiling the list. Even if you are not the competitive sort, why not set a personal goal for yourself, and target getting 20 or 50 or 100 points in the SABAP2 Spring Chameleon Challenge?
