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:
Team results were closer than anticipated. Remember, we had 10 factors and we counted your top 5 scores to come up with this list:
1. The QuickWitLitniks of Springfield-Greene County - 47 points
2. St. Charles City-County Library District – 45 points
3. University City Public Library – 42 points
4. St. Charles Community College – 40 points
5. Brentwood Public Library and Joplin Public Library - 2 way tie for 5th place, each with 38 points
6. See tie above
7. Marshall Library United - 36 points
8. Missouri State Library – 35 points
9. Kirkwood Public Library – 32 points
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!
Thank you Crista for all your hard work. While Joplin may have only hit 5th place, we were only lulling you into a false sense of security for the new year!
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is Really?! Springfield-Greene really? *sigh* Well then you know who we are going after this year. And this time we are out for Blood!! :)
