Division points for bronze and gold won
All the calculations are finished and we have our winners:
Gold: Fans of Gro Hammerseng (Ed/Will) from the Jenny Thompson Division
Silver: The Minstrel Winos (Julie) from the Jesse Owens Division
Bronze: Bristol Olympics (Peter) from the Mary Lou Retton Division
It's also worth giving some recognition to Jim's Dino-Crushers (Jim) who won the Jim Thorpe Division and just missed out on the overall bronze thanks to the tie-breakers. All four of these teams featured Michael Phelps, but three divisions were won by non-Phelps teams:
Tamara Willit Hurt (Leslie) won the Carl Lewis Division.
The Torch Bearer (Christy) won the Matt Biondi Division.
Uncle Sam's Chariot of Fire (Jeremy) won the Mark Spitz Division.
Now, on to some other awards:
Non-Phelps Gold Medal: Tamara Willit Hurt (Leslie), who racked up 47 points without Phelps. Leslie would have won in four different divisions... and not just because she is the Commissioner's wife.
Worst Score with Phelps: Panda-monium (Virginia & Caroline), who scored just 35 points despite having 24 from Phelps.
Dark Cloud Memorial Certificate of Participation: Cool Runnings (Charis), who scored just 4 points and finished last. You'll get'em next time, Charis.
Most Ironic Name: Mao Tse Bronze (Shawn), who lived up to his name by finishing with - you guessed it - the bronze in the Mark Spitz Division.
Biggest Draft Steal: Shiffer Brains (Brian), who got 8 points from Matt Grevers, who he drafted in the 12th round.
Biggest Draft Bust: Cool Runnings (Charis), who missed the news about Morgan Hamm's injury and picked him in the first round... and never cut him.
Best Team Name: Beijing Saddles (Jason) from the Jenny Thompson Division.
Highest Scoring Division: Jenny Thompson Division with 239 points (we had to throw out the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Division, which had 8 people, and the Jim Thorpe Division, which had Australian athletes).
Lowest Scoring Division: Carl Lewis Division and Mark Spitz Division (tie) with 206 points each.
