We at TVC are really psyched to finally have reached the top of the mountain. I had actually thought we finished just short of the Mensans. When I think about all of the work that we've done to get here, it's so gratifying. I just love the people on this team, and it's the people who make this so special. Thanks for everything you do. Go TVC!

And as the shepherd's crook yanks that award recipient off stage, let us remind everyone these standings wouldn't be possible without the efforts of WesleyCrusher. Thank you WC.

Lol, Mehaul, it did have a bit of an overblown award acceptance feel to it. Thanks for all you do, Wesley. Oh, and I would like to thank my mom as well.

I'm not happy with our team score. I used to be but not now. Did the check bounce? Why do we do this anyway? Will it ever stop?
Seriously, thank you once again for your efforts WC.

Wesley has explained it thoroughly on the relevant thread. In brief, each team is given a ranking based on their performance during the month on the ten designated games, and the total for the ten games is used to rank the teams. Results are reported each month, as well as cumulatively for the completed portion of the year. At the end of the year, the teams are given their final rankings for the entire twelve months.

The competition began last year. Wesley explains it in the thread linked below. There you can also see how the year progresses. What you haven't seen yet this year is a Quarterly year-to-date totaling and reranking of up to that date's progress. http://www.funtrivia.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/580880/Team_of_the_Year#Post580880I've copied the game results/standings from your team info and ranks page. These are the ones that are unitized then summed for a composite score which levels the field between teams (no team ELO number!) Game Today Pts Yest. Rank Yest. Monthly Pts Monthly Rank Daily Team Heroes Scores 8 - heroes 36 of 48 24 35 of 48 Team vs Team Daily Scores 1037 102 of 119 2053 94 of 121 The Daily Game Scores 40 39 of 48 393 32 of 48 Mind Melt Scores 301 30 of 48 528 31 of 48 New Question Daily Scores 237 32 of 48 668 29 of 48 Who Am I? (hard) Scores 130 34 of 48 205 35 of 48 World Daily Quiz Scores 92 35 of 48 92 37 of 48 Pot of Gold Scores 136 35 of 48 260 34 of 48 Hourly Who's the Smartest Hourly Scores 123 33 of 48 739 23 of 48 Easy Hourly Scores 197 31 of 48 366 35 of 48 Mixed Hourly Scores 411 19 of 48 946 16 of 48 In bold are the values that will get unitized (kind of like changing rank number to a percentile value) Sorry I haven't the hang of doing the 'code' table organizing of HTML yet. Someday it will dawn on me how it's done.

I am pretty sure that Mixed still doesn't count towards Team of the Year. Thanks to everyone for answering my question. I see that it's very complicated. So I'll just trust Wes to figure it all out.  Question: Why don't they count the Mixed Hourly Quiz? ---Sea

Simple: I don't have the data for it in an easily accessible place. My source is http://www.funtrivia.com/tvt_lastmonth.cfm and I can only use the games listed there. I asked Terry before that the Mixed should please be added, but no such luck.

On the menu, Team opens a list you can scroll down to find Stats and Ranks (Listed under All Teams). This then lets you choose either this month's ranks or the previous one.

...the values that will get unitized... The lastmonth.cfm shows last month's results. I was trying to show where to look to track current performance if you are trying to make improvements in TotY status. For that purpose, the Info and Ranks Table is still the place to follow day by day. I thought the Mixed addition was a done deal, mea culpa. Wasn't there to be another addition too? Obscurity, Expert, FMI or Word Wizard which were awaiting a team value to be developed at some point? I'm gonna have to stop saying thank you Wesley if you keep punishing the Noggins for my faux pas. But, until then, Thank you Wesley for the tabulation fabrication. or in the words of Karl Childers, "mmhmm, mmhmm".

I would like to thank Wesley for all his hard work, Cubs' cat, Bubbles' mom, Mehaul's sense of humor that always makes me laugh out loud, and Vera Wang for my dress...
Oh! And my team, in there slugging it out with the best of them every month!
Thank you, thank you, and... *music swells, out comes shepherd's crook* Aghhhh!
