Thanks for your patience as we tabulate the scores and try every possible way to come out on top (a futile task even with a last minute rule change). Here is the short story:

2 teams declined to participate in the scoring based on their pure & wholesome motives of participation based on the READING being reward in itself.
Individual MVPs:
Dandy Danya read 455 books and 119,694 to effectively put almost all of us to shame. Jenny E from Springfield-Greene also broke the 400 mark.
Stephanie from St. Charles Community college schooled us on page average with an overall 472 page average for the year.
Thanks to all participants for a great year of reading and competition. I think we have a good start on 2012!
The long story: If anyone wants more information, I’ll gladly share my messy spreadsheet and the process. I had this vision of everything being “automated” but find that I was not smart enough to make it happen. Maybe by next year!
