Thanks to everyone who played The ‘Daily Challenge during 2011.
There are a few changes to the game in 2012 which are detailed below and you can now pick a name for your team which will appear on the Monday Emmerdaily thread when the updated scores are posted.
As well as the Main Game your scores from each month will be added up to produce a total score for the year. You are therefore encouraged to enter a team each month!!!


Anyway, on with the 2012 rules.
It’s a very easy game to play. The object of the game is to pick a team of
11 characters from those listed below which you think will score the more points than the other people playing the game.
Once you’ve whittled your shortlist down to
11 characters you will then need to nominate one of them as
Captain. This character will have their
score doubled so you’re really looking to identify the character which you think will score the most points during the month to maximise your chances of winning.
Then, simply post your choices on the thread or send them to me via PM, and keep an eye out for the Monday ‘Daily to see how your “team” is doing in the score updates.
The scoring system works as follows:-
+ 1 point per episode appearance
+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode.
+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode before the break.
+1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode after the break
+1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode.
+ 1 point for any kisses on the lips. If you have both characters who kiss in your team each character will receive a point.
+ 2 bonus points for any character that appears in 6 or more episodes during the week. In the event of any episodes being transmitted on a weekend the week will run from Monday to Sunday.
+
Remember that your team Captain gets their score doubled!!!
Entries must be submitted before the episode on Monday 02 January 2012 begins.
Your “Starting List” for January’s ‘Daily Challenge is as follows:-

Remember you need to select ELEVEN characters (including a captain) – no more, no less. *
