McShep Match 2011 - The Results!
Yes, this is it, folks - it's almost all over for another year!
Just a quick note on scoring before we announce the results - the average for each category over all fics is totalled to make the results, so since each is scored from 1-9 the final score is the number of points out of 18.
The final scores were:
Team Sheppard: 15.7
Team McKay: 15.2
Congratulations to Team Sheppard on their victory, and to Team McKay for providing such worthy opposition!
It was a slightly closer result than last year but both teams put in an amazing effort and produced a truly memorable set of entries for our 5th Anniversary Match. All fests have to cope with dropouts and we did set a new record this year, so we are more grateful than ever both for the perseverence of those who signed up and made it to the finish line and the generosity of those who joined our teams late to create back up entries. More on that in the wrap up post as always, but we can't say it too many times :-)
Now it's time for the Team Members to collect their 1st and 2nd place banners and icons kindly made for McShep Match by the fabulous mischief5.
