I'm sure you've seen them now but Kikitchens figured it out by doing the math from the scores on the team pages.
Hey it was fun bantering back and forth with you. |
It was fun! Congrats to your team!! |

No offense, but that's kind of odd, considering that the challenge week usually begins on a Sunday night. It seems the energy behind running the DPL has waned. |

I think it's fine. It still includes one Sunday and two Tuesday challenges, just in reverse order.
They would have had to wait until this Sunday night otherwise. Could not use challenges prior to teams being determined. |

Hats off to the Jawbones! You all really worked hard this round and I'm very happy to see you rewarded for your work. The Jawbones had 14 entries with an overall average of all 14 at 6.6 (86%)! That is just incredible team work and determination. What I find amazing too is that Captain Mike ( Transit) had a 7.01 score that didn't even count toward the team average! Christophe ( gyaban)averaged over 7 with his 2 entries. 5 of the Jawbones had two entries for the week, 7 photos in the top 10 and a blue ribbon to boot!
Again I say congrats to each of the Jawbones, talent and teamwork prevailed... Transit, librodo, Shermy, gyaban, JulieG, ErinKirsten, Brent_S, elsapo, shanksware, and keegbow good luck in the final round!
I have thoroughly enjoyed this season and look forward to watching from the sideline this week!

I just now realized that. A 98.9% average for the round with a blue, 2 reds and 2 yellows! Not bad team Imagio :) This should be an epic battle! One of ya'll needs to open up a smack thread so we can watch from the tailgate!

I'm confused...
I thought we were playing to two league winners, a winner of Global League and a winner in the World League.
Now it seems that we, the Longshots in Division B of Global League/Northern Conference are playing a team in the World League - The ViewFinders of Division B/Eastern.
The Jawbones of Global/Division B/Northern are playing Imagio of the World/Division A/Eastern.
This SEEMS off... (not saying that it is, it just seems that way to me).
Shouldn't we end up with one Global winner and one World winner? |

Jawbones and Imagio are both Division A champions in their own League (World -vs- Global)
Longshots and Viewfinders are both Divsion B champions in their own League (World -vs- Global)
Each gets to play for the overall championship of their Division. Otherwise you would have Div A playing Div B and some might not feel that is fair. |

Well, that's where the confusion is I guess.
I thought one league was the top 1/2 and other league was the bottom 1/2 of teams. So we'd have two league winners. Like in most other sports.
It doesn't matter overall, just seems odd.

No they divided it based on percentiles into Div A being the top 1/2 and Div B being the bottom 1/2. Someone told me the cutoff for the percentile but I forgot :-) |

Well, I think it was top 24 and bottom 24 (to keep it spread evenly) :)

Exactly... But each of those is different LEAGUES - not different divisions of the same leagues. |

I think of it as the American and National Football League playing for the Super Bowl. This just is a fairer way. |

That's what I'M thinking of it as, which is why it doesn't make sense. I'm sure it was just a mistake on the setup, but each league should have been isolated instead of divisions. In order to make sense anyway.
The primary grouping is LEAGUE. Division is a sub-grouping of a League. But it this case the secondary level is primary.
Again, it doesn't matter so long as the brackets are set right in spite of the error. |

Nope.
We'll have two DIVISION winners... both of whom could come from the same LEAGUE. |

They won't come from the same league - they could come from World or Global. Division denotes level (think Varsity and Junior Vasity for lack of a better example). There are State JV winners for sports and there are Varsity winners. Varsity and JV don't play each other but both reach the same final outcome, an overall (from different regions) division winner.

There is a GLOBAL league and a WORLD league. There could be a Division A winner from the Global League and a Division B winner from the GLobal league. Same leagues.
The way the standings are presented, the League is the upper level.
The Top 24 SHOULD have been in the Global League. The Second 24 SHOULD have been in the World League. Then the divisions would have made sense and we'd play to a league champion. |

Congratulations to the Imagio Team!
I have to admit that as a member of the Jawbones team that went into the final against you I was very frustrated when the "Absolut Advertisement" challenge was announced as one of the topics for our match. I immediately saw that as the perfect topic for the Icelandic landscapes you guys are known for, and just as I expected you guys ran with plenty of those very effectively to build a lead. But then the "Street Portraiture" challenge was announced. I saw that as a pretty brutal topic to have in a final (unless you live someplace like NYC maybe) and you guys could have sat back and banked on your lead. But most all of you went out and shot for that challenge too, and that effort sealed the win for you despite the efforts of my team to catch you with that challenge. You guys worked hard for it, and now you are the Champions- enjoy! :-) |

Congratulations Team Imagio!!
Way to power through and submit even after your great finish in Absolut! It was certainly challenging to compete against such a talented group of photographers. Thank you for a wonderful end to DPL that only would have been better had we won :-)
To my fellow teammates - I couldn't be more proud of the fact that we finished with the highest overall (for all weeks) average of all teams. That is something we should be very proud of and I was so pleased to be a part of the Jawbones and get to know you all! Huge hugs to all of you!! |

Obviously I'm a bit sad about our defeat, but I have to admit you are a bunch of impressive photographers, your work is fantastic. You really deserved to win this final. See you at the next DPL! :-) |
