Hey, aren't they disqualified for this weigh-in if they aren't checked in by the deadline?
Not to be anal, but this *is* a competition and we all knew what the rules and limits were (and all have extenuating circumstances from time to time, which is why it is great we get two "off" weeks).
I just answered my own question, from the FAQ thread Chellez started:
Q: What is the cutoff time to weigh in?
A: The cutoff time is every Monday following the week of the weigh in and all weights must be recorded on your weigh in post by 10 pm EST. After 10 pm the team leaders will review the weights and attempt to contact you for a final time. If we don't here from you we'll have to take action. This does not apply to the week of September 2nd to September 8th.
Q: What's a "freebie week"?
A: Freebie weeks are weeks were you either you can't get to the computer or something has come up that you can't weigh in. You have 2 of these for the entire 12 weeks of the challenge. So for instance if you can't weigh in, the leaders use your last weigh in as your weight for the week you miss. Once you use both freebie weeks, and you don't weigh in, you'll be removed from the team.
