Congrats! Always awesome to make it to a goal!!

Well, I'm done for this year.

Rank: All-Star

Goals per game average: 11.942

I made my first set of goals (2000 YYB, 200 SS, 600MSN, 11 goal per game avg), made my second set of goals (got to 2300 YYB and 1200MSN), but didn't quite make my third goal (12 goal per game avg).
I would've needed 133 more points in over 12-point games to bring that up to a 12, and while I have time for 50 more games before bedtime...I don't think that'd I'd make it. Plus, I like the round-number-ness of having 2500 points total. (it's the geekiness in me shining through). As averly commented, I guess that leaves me something to strive for next year. Plus, I was offered a neck massage while watching a movie for the rest of the night. Who would pass that up?

On a side note, I think draws are only worth 1/3 a point this year, instead of 1/2 a point. My brother was trying to get to rank one, and had 6 draws, which should've been 3 points, but he didn't rank until he got one more win. But, he made it to rank one, which he was exceedingly proud of. He has a real hard time concentrating on repetitive things, and can only play when he's either at my house or my mom's (my dad doesn't let him), so I'm very proud of him.

I really hope Roo wins this year. I put in 265 games of YYB over the last two days, plus 20 SS and 150 MSN. My husband put in 200 games over the last two days (which was 200 more than he'd planned on doing over the course of the tourney than he had planned on doing).

Rank Four. I know it's not the best, but I did it. I did it.

Congrats!

I'm disappointed, I wasn't able to reach my goal. I blame my two jobs, but I guess having money is more important than Neo. Although next year I intend to do better, I'm going to make a schedule and stick with it!

Congrats to everyone who got the top rank also! You guys have worked hard!

[metalmario]

I met my goal. Not the one from the last split, where I was distantly shooting for rank 12, but would settle for 9. Oh no, I got to rank 13! It doesn't seem like much when you consider that you could get there by playing 30 games per day the whole time, but I've been putting in 50+ yyb games every day for the past week or so, plus the sides. I am so proud of myself. Last year: Bronze, green gem. This year: Silver, green gem. Next year: Gold, green gem!! Hopefully at least. And the year after that, All-Star!! 8D

I'm also proud of my team. LD did well in the first cup, but not enough to be recognized. Same with last year. We were 5th, when only 1-4 were recognized. We've finally earned ourselves some respect. I really hope we get 3rd.

My final tallies:

YYB: 1,000 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses.
11,717 goals, 11.717 goals per game.
SS: 50 games, top score 687.
MSN: 300 games, top score 7,850.

Last year I had 55 SS games, but I just hate that game. I deal with enough angry customers every day as it is!

*happy it's over* *runs off to finish her seriously neglected physics hw due in 7 hours* *but still wants sleep* *action asterisks*

[forcesinbalance]

Ah, free at last.

Final tally:

YYB: 2,223
Slushie Slinger: 83
Make Some Noise:340

If I'd been tracking it more carefully, I might have stopped one game sooner, just for the symmetry of 2222 games. Ah, well. I don't know that I'll ever put this much effort into the Cup again, but at least I have one All-Star ranking.

Congrats everyone

Rank All-Star

My first goal was All-Star, I then wanted to get 2000 wins, but once I reached All-Star, the will went out of me and I only played enough games to 'even up' my scores.

[Pickles]

Anyone want to place bets on:
A) when the winning team will be announced
B) when the prize shop will open

I hope they don't keep us in suspense for too long over the winner.

[Katherine]

I think(hope) that winners will be announced with today's news. I also think(hope) prize shop'll be open before the end of teh month.

My brother made it into rank 1 with one night! He played for almost 3 hours last night.

[Matrinka]

My stats aren't as impressive as last year... but since I could only play at night and had lots of off-line activities keeping me busy, I'm proud of what I earned.

I honestly don't think we're going to see prizes until September at the earliest. TNT might surprise us with a late August prize shop... but I'm too used to having a long wait.

Winners... tonight with the news! *crosses fingers for a Shenkuu victory*

[May]

My personal stats are below. I kind of gave up on everything once I reached Rank 1. Work plus hosting Werewolf and Hit & Heal kind of wore me out some, so I didn't play as much as I would have liked. But I still reached my goal of Rank 1 Maybe next year I'll go for Rank 2!

I think I'll try to go up one level each year. Last year I was rank 2, and this year I just BARELY made it to 3.

Rank Level 13

Which is a significant improvement for me over last year, when I had to struggle to reach level 9.

[gingernut]

My scores:

YYB: 2000
SS: 64
MSN: 68

Part of me wishes I'd made more of an effort with the side-games! But I couldn't have played any more than I did... and I definitely don't want to play another game of YYB for the best part of a year!

My bets- two days for the results to come out (and RI being the winners), six weeks for prizes to be released.
