Happy Holidays. Free scores for everyone! Are these scores for December? or for the year?

I would have thought November, since neither December nor the year is finished yet. November is also one of the odd-numbered months, for which Wes doesn't post cumulative scores, just the results for that single month.

It's nice to see my old (and now defunct) team on the list at 135, and my new team at 72.

Bronze trophies go to the 21st to 50th place. I hope that we finally have a batch that don't include scratched ones, broken-off pieces and similar defects. 21. ^1 LIGHTHEARTED RETURN 9,811.11
22. v2 United States of Trivia 9,599.74
23. * The Homo Sapiens 9,532.69
24. ^1 Kilted Kangas 9,315.78
25. ^1 Phoenix Rising 9,262.13
26. ^1 The Devil's Advocates 9,236.78
27. ^1 The Regal Beagles 9,165.62
28. v4 League of Nations 9,136.01
29. ^1 The Palmetto Players 9,131.22
30. v1 Dynasty Dominators of Death 8,898.37
31. * Canadian Players 8,879.20
32. * The Beeronians 8,856.87
33. * The Titans 8,290.24
34. ^4 Faithful and True 8,253.13
35. * Rock the Clock 8,206.83
36. v2 Music Moguls 8,197.96
37. * A JOYFUL NOISE 8,187.06
38. v2 Vixens 8,171.68
39. ^2 The British 8,061.11
40. * Yorkshire and Proud 7,958.73
41. v2 All 50 States 7,928.54
42. * Trivia Bubbles 7,768.97
43. ^6 No Team here... 7,702.06
44. v1 American Dream 7,616.46
45. * European Players 7,545.59
46. v2 Triviabiz 7,483.98
47. ^1 The Lost Connection 7,483.79
48. v1 CLIQUE-KICKERS 7,395.20
49. v3 Triviamanic 7,225.52
50. NEW Midwest USA Players 7,115.14 Five of these teams have risen from the lower reaches of last year's table (Midwest USA, Triviabiz, Yorkshire, Joyful Noise and Regal Beagles). On the other hand, five (Lighthearted, Unites States of Trivia, Homo Sapiens, Phoenix and Music Moguls) came from last year's silver ranks. Silver trophies go to the following ten teams: 11. v1 Children of Terra 10,624.35
12. * classicalmusic/mensan 10,619.46
13. * No Worries! 10,300.85
14. ^2 Ojibwe Lodge 10,228.38
15. * Wandering Quizzers 10,217.34
16. ^1 Old Farts 10,196.43
17. v3 Tesla Coil 10,183.62
18. * Writer's Block 10,039.00
19. * The Devious Demons 9,988.29
20. ^1 Funsters 9,907.39
These include one team from last year's top ten (Classical/Mensan), three former bronze winners (Children of Terra, Devious Demons and Funsters) and two first-time winners: Ojibwe Lodge in 14th and No Worries! in 13th were our highest-ranked new additions to the table. This leaves us a gold squad almost unchanged from 2016 - in fact, the only new entry in that list is last year's 11th. 10. ^1 The Cat People 10,661.54 Almost missed the top tier, but a massive December push saw them edge out the Children of Terra to retain their gold status - still down two ranks, however. 9. * The Calculators 10,774.38 Ninth in 2016, ninth in October, still ninth now. That gives some steady prize money and with their many members, they need it too. 8. v1 The Moops 10,883.17 The Moops lost 7th place on the home stretch, but in the annual, they still gained two ranks, climbing to 8th. 7. ^1 The Bees Knees 11,006.48 Rising from 11th, the Bees Knees claim what was CM/M's place last year. 6. * Kindred Spirits 11,132.32 From sixth in 2016 to sixth in 2017. Another steady earner! If you followed so far, that means - yes. The top five teams of 2017 are the same as those of 2016. The order has changed a bit however. 5. * Wisdom of the Fool 11,571.01 That's quite the gap over 6th - over 400 points is a lot. Still, it didn't quite let them repeat third place, so they'll have to settle for fifth. 4. * Pi in the Sky 11,603.47 Up one place and with just a 30 point lead over fifth, Pi gets slightly higher into the sky. You'll only need to gain another 0.858407 places to be home now! 3. * The Joli Llamas 11,691.76 The great coalition of power teams couldn't hold on to the runner-up spot, but then third is still quite the achievement. The score distance was in the 80s in both directions, so a safe spot. 2. * Worldwide Wizards 11,775.98 If they keep halving their rank every time we do this list, we know where they'll be next year. For now, jumping from fourth to second is an impressive gain. 1. * The Mossbacks 11,990.98 Who would have guessed it after the first half of the year? The Mossbacks have been posting quite a few perfect 1000s and around September, it was quite clear that only disbanding could stop them. They didn't disband, they stayed at the top, they win the 2017 Team of the Year title. Lastly, for our eternal Hall of Fame, we say farewell to the merged Joliettes and we also have to at least temporarily bid goodbye to the European Players who missed the 75% mark - but they are still within pouncing distance. This leaves us the following list of teams consistently active and successful over the now seven years this list was run. 1. * The Joli Llamas 85,315.38 99.204%
2. * classicalmusic/mensan 83,637.02 97.252%
3. * The Moops 80,207.51 93.265%
4. * Funsters 79,149.80 92.035%
5. ^1 Pi in the Sky 78,782.46 91.608%
6. v1 Tesla Coil 78,751.25 91.571%
7. * Kindred Spirits 77,148.57 89.708%
8. ^3 Worldwide Wizards 75,598.21 87.905%
9. * The Cat People 75,177.54 87.416%
10. ^2 The Calculators 74,247.47 86.334%
11. v3 Music Moguls 72,753.96 84.598%
12. ^1 The Devious Demons 72,522.57 84.329%
13. v3 Rock the Clock 72,397.59 84.183%
14. * Phoenix Rising 71,435.15 83.064%
15. * The Devil's Advocates 71,312.46 82.921%
16. ^3 The Bees Knees 70,026.15 81.426%
17. v1 Canadian Players 69,960.55 81.349%
18. v1 League of Nations 69,559.27 80.883%
19. v1 Trivia Bubbles 67,122.73 78.050%
20. * The Palmetto Players 66,408.45 77.219%
21. * The Beeronians 65,575.86 76.251%
22. ^3 The Homo Sapiens 65,043.46 75.632%
23. ^1 Dynasty Dominators of Death 64,995.12 75.576%
24. v2 The British 64,700.08 75.233%
