CNN wrote:The Golden Gate Bridge, which spans the San Francisco Bay and connects the city to its northern suburbs, is one of the world's most famous structures. Its construction 78 years ago over a deep, treacherous channel was a marvel of modern engineering. In [the banner image], pedestrians walk across the bridge on May 27, 1937 -- one day before it opened to vehicular traffic.
Bridge workers build a catwalk that connects the towers at both sides of the strait so they can attach the suspension cables to hold up the bridge. Workers on the bridge were buffeted by high winds and faced constant fears of plummeting to their deaths.
CNN wrote:The first vehicles, led by a police escort, cross the bridge and head south into San Francisco on May 28, 1937. The structure was once the longest suspension bridge in the world, although it was surpassed in 1964 with the completion of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York.

Who can play a Challenge? Challenges are open to everyone!
How do I join? No signups required. Join and/or create games that meet the given parameters for this month as found in the OP. Only public games count towards the challenge unless otherwise explicitly stated in the challenge OP. There is also a "join games" link in the OP to provide an easy list of qualifying games.
What are the prizes? All players who meet or exceed the minimum number of required points for the month will earn a Challenge Achievement Medal. The point requirements change every month as we aim to provide a vast assortment of challenges which includes a varying level of difficulty.
Site Event Medals are awarded to the top three finishers on the challenge scoreboard. 1st: 2nd: 3rd:
In addition to the medals, the first place finisher receives: 1 Green Conquer Star And the 2nd-5th place finishers receive: 1 Blue Conquer Star
When do I get my prize? My goal is always to award prizes during the week following the completion of the event.
How do we deal with deadbeating? Please report deadbeats in your games by sending me a PM. I will periodically do a random check however I cannot monitor every game. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.
Tiebreakers? Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first.
A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do? PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.
What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge? Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send me a PM and we will get it added for the month.
Rulings: 1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped. 2. Wins by round limit will drop tokens. 3. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year. 4. Bot games do not drop tokens. 5. Any unforeseen abuse is still abuse. Don't take advantage of the system.
If you have any further questions or issues not covered here please either post in the active challenge thread or PM [player]CatchersMitt14[/player].

No, just the usual problems of the volunteers getting burned out. We have people doing near-professional quality work on a purely volunteer basis and there comes a time when we say, "to hell with it, I don't feel like it this month." Usually when someone doesn't feel like it, someone else steps up, but we came to a point where all of us don't feel like it at the same time.
