Spoiler:
OK, here's a bit of an update for those longing for more info!
So, what's happening with the event?
Preparations for the event are slowly being made, and since it's something that requires a lot of thought and planning to get things in perfect order on the day, we'll be appreciative of your continued patience.
Hi, I'm new to this club. What can I expect from ParraNOIA's version of the Amazing Race?
You may want to begin building up your stamina now...
How are many in a team, and how are the teams decided?
This time instead of a group of 3-4 people, everyone will enter the race in pairs with the exception of one group if need be. Teams will not be decided by arbitrary allocation and you'll be given the opportunity to pair up with another ParraNOIA member of your choice. As it's best to keep the number of teams to a manageable amount, it is unfortunate to say that non-parraNOIA members will not be able to participate.
Everyone I want to pair up is taken or not available, what should I do?
For those of you who are unable to find a partner before the specified closing date for the registration, you will be paired up with other ParraNOIA members who weren't able to find partners.
How can I register?
Applications for the event (participant or helper) will be available at a later date in the future.
Date/location: Mid-year. Other details: shall be announced shortly.
This event won't take place until well after the final exams, so think of this as an early reminder to keep Thursday (12/07/2012) free!
As explained in the official Amazing Race thread on the forums, teams will consist of pairs and the format of the race will be made up of a detour and a roadblock. It will take place all over the Sydney CBD and may include other areas.
There will be an aftermath lunch/dinner party for those who are interested! =D
To register, you and your partner will have to fill out an online form. A $2 registration fee is also required by each member to help cover for the event's expenses.
For those who are unable to find a partner, please tick the 'random draw' box on the form and you'll be randomly paired up with another club member.
WARNING: Please note that you cannot change partners after partner arrangements have been decided.
::::::::::::::Volunteers needed::::::::::::::
We're in need of several helpers to assist with the detours and roadblocks. Your job is to monitor the participants to make sure that they have completed their objectives. You will also provide the teams with their next clue upon successful completion of the challenge.
Volunteers: 1. Phil 2. Anna 3. Michael 4. Eric/Hiro 5. Nicole/Niki
::::::::::::::More info will be added in late June::::::::::::::
Please be patient!

probably not. i'm thinking of changing the date to somewhere during mid-sem break as there's a good chance there will be more participants (unless we don't get any new members) :/

On topic, any ideas as to the prizes, size of teams (2,3,4 people), team selection (hat draw or pre-decided) and approximate length (not too long this time I hope =/)
