Haha honestly, depending on who else signs up at the last minute, there's a good chance you could be a Jaghut again (no promises, though). When I was making the teams, there were two teams with projected lower points when I tried to mix everyone up in new teams, and the Jaghuts were one of them. I usually make one or two teams like this every year just in case there are late signups.

As a note for fairness in case people are wondering -- my projected points based on previous years' stats and new member estimates have never been accurate in predicting the winner. I just use them as a baseline to make sure that one team is not thousands of points ahead of everyone else. Everyone's yearly habits change enough to make it hard to figure out where exactly to place people - which makes it all the more exciting!

New additions have been added to teams!

Angela Jr - Horns of Hammerad

Choko - Silver Swords

Rob - Jaghut Guardians

(Reminder that you can go back and track any books from the date you signed up, not from today)

Everyone's on teams in the spreadsheet now... still need to shift tabs and recolor tabs later...

Tabs shifted and recolored :)

Yea, I never sorted it after work yesterday, thanks...

Haha, I'm making for a very late addition this year, but would you mind adding me in?

Comment in the sign up thread and Jenna should add you to the last place team I think, and you'll be able to add books starting today once on a team...

Hey welcome Mel! Long time no see!

I added your tab to the spreadsheet, it's at the end, and says Copy of Mel for now, and alot of the stuff at the top is broken, until you get assigned to a team and I add that data to Participant Data tab...

In the meantime, you can start tracking books from June 13th, as I said before...

And as per rules changes in recent years, you can count any book you'd already started reading but hadn't finished yet on June 13th...

Thanks Iain! And good to be back, Nirkatze!
*cracks knuckles* Best get started then!
