July Team Captains Pow-Wow (Page 2)

Spinning around in circles, seeing our team crush yours, does not count.  Sorry!

*slaps Joe's hand* Captain's only! Go back to the smack talk thread!

Yeah Mach, counting the time of everything is best, but I say we let the individual decide unless the mileage is unreliable as in the case of spinning, water running, stationary bikes, etc.

Shhhhh.... he'll come back. Joe will ALWAYS reply.

Benefits that I see in doing this - chance to benefit bigger group of charities.  Teams can also focus on charities that are important to them.

Drawbacks - Instead of one big ol honking donation, it'll be bigger smaller donations.

I'm happy with the multiple charity approach.  You've got my vote.

Captains, Please email to me ([email protected]) your team's actual training month-to-date. Because of the limited # of PMs allowed on BT, the best way for me to receive all the info is via email. Also, I can save your emails instead of having to delete the PMs right away. What can I say? I get lots of PMs.

Many thanks for your cooperation. And keep up the great work!

I'm sure you are all very busy with work and life obligations (slackers). I have received only 3 team updates - Teams Hoss, Crazy 8 and Endless Summer - as of 5:10pm (that's ok, I have nothing else to do but wait). Please send me your team reports at your convenience (get off your ass).

Thanks so much for your cooperation! (don't make me ask you again)

Lynda,

The tongue. It was planted firmly in my cheek.

Ok, as the spreadsheet is taking form I am thinking of new questions/anticipating issues for the final scoring.

We agreed this would be a make-your-goal-or-not scoring system. Sounds easy enough. Here's a scenario, tell me what you think. Suppose...

• Team 1 has 6 people who hit their goals in all 3 sports. 3 people hit 80% in all 3 sports. 1 person hits 70% in all 3 sports.
• Team 2 has 6 people who hit their goals in all 3 sports. 2 people hit 90% in all 3, 1 person hits 80% in all 3, and 1 person hits 50% in all 3 sports.

Who wins? Is it a tie?

If not a tie, how do you decide who wins?

What if a teammember hits their goal in only 2 or 3 sports - is it all or nothing or will their contribution carry some weight?

What about this scenario:

• Team 1 has 7 people who hit their goals in all 3 sports. 3 people hit 100% in 2 sports and 70% in 1 sport. 
• Team 2 has 7 people who hit their goals in all 3 sports. 3 people hit 100% in 1 sport and 90% in the 3rd sport.

Please weigh in with your thoughts. 

Thanks, Anna.

Here's the problem I see with that calculation. At the beginning, we agreed that it was all or nothing on the goal attainment. Everyone agreed (I believe) that this would not be an aggregrate goal. Anything less than 100% would be thrown out.

For example: if you hit 100% or more of 1 sport but < 100% on the others, you would be 1/3.

I realize it makes one's head bobble (I had to think about constructing hypotheticals just to give you an idea of how the scoring could play out) but I think you guys need to give this more thought.

Or, I could just decide for you.

I honestly don't remember on agreeing to the 1 of 3 idea or the check-mark system as I call it.  I think that was Lynda suggestion (not intentionally trying to stir the pot) and then she even agreed later with me and the others.  I mean, that is how I sent in my weekly results with a group score taken as an average of each teammember's average.
