What happens if more than one team reaches their goal?

Have we decided on a punishment for the losers yet?

If your team loses, you agree to change your signature line to the following for the period of January 1 through January 31.

If When Florida Force wins, we have chosen this avatar for ALL the losers to use as their own for the period of January 1 through January 31. No other teams have submitted a humiliation-avatar for the losers.

Stats as of 12/4/05 - for your viewing pleasure
BY: Guest on 2005-12-06 9:46 AM

Swim stats as of 12/4/05.

• The Great White North is spanking all contenders, at 17% of goal (team aggregrate). Although this is only half of the formula, it's certainly a strong and early showing by the Canucks. 
• Any team at 13% or above is on goal since we are 13% into the month (as of 12/4).
• Several teams have not checked in as of 3 minutes ago. I originally said first reporting week ends 12/11 but some people got excited and jumped the gun so I'm accomodating both the early reporters and the folks who want to report 12/11. If you don't report until 12/12 that's fine, okey-dokey, hunky-dory.

I updated the spreadsheet to include New England Pooltriots stats.

Also, I added 2 columns to give a better idea of where everyone truly stands. As a reminder, this Challenge is being scored on 2 items:

1. Percentage of teammates meeting their goal
2. Average goal attainment percentage for team

After adding the two new columns, things shaped up quite differently than the spreadsheet with only averge goal attainment. As you will see when you open the spreadsheet, having a high number of teammates at or above goal is paramount to winning the challenge. You can have the highest average goal attainment % but if you don't have a high number of teammates at or above goal, as well, you can still lose.

This is an early spreadsheet; next week we'll see total participation and more than a week's worth of swimming effort.

Here are the preliminary standings:

1. Team Canada - 38%
2. Team Utah - 36%
3. Texas Yeehaws - 24%
4. Florida Force - 22%
5. New England Pootriots and  Carolina Curmudgeons - tied with 20%

Hi Renee,

I can't seem to download the spread sheet...maybe it's my computer so I'll try from home tonight (new computer install at work today!)...can you keep posting the % in case I can't download.

Thanks,

Laura

Laura, sure I will continue posting the overall standing within the post.

For All: I will be offline until next Tuesday morning. Please be sure to report your numbers to your team captain. I will update the spreadsheet upon my return and try to post it here by end of day Tuesday, if my schedule allows.
