Kataang Forever is the winner of the 2008 Avatar Interfansite Olympics! For now, enjoy this crappy banner I (Jake) made! (Click above to enlarge) Check out the standings by clicking the link on the right. It was very close and I took so long because I wanted to make sure the scoring totals were right, and each team got adequate recognition for the events they won. Kataang Forever's win was fueled by gold medals in four contests (Original Characters, Nightmares, Creatures, Original Episode) and a convincing win in the scavenger hunt. In addition, KF won three silver medals and one bronze. Dongbu Feng was a close second. DF had a strong trivia team and won the second trivia, and came in second in the week-long trivia at the end of the Olympics. They also notched wins in the 317 team logo contest and the Book 3 Trailer. DF also won three silvers and three bronze medals along the way. The Avatar Portal came in a very, very close third (all top 3 teams separated by only 2 points). Avatar Portal had a legendary trivia, which won all but 2 of the 7 overall trivias. In competitions they won three silvers and three bronze medals. Distant Horizon finished a very solid fourth. They racked up gold medals in the Necklace and Series DVD competitions. DH also earned two silver medals, and one bronze throughout the course of the competition. Avatarverse was looking good... until the end. Their wins in the team logo and shipping video contests early on were great, but lack of participation faltered them, leaving them in fifth place. Blue Spirit Gal, who dropped out half-way through, finished sixth. Before dropping out, BSG turned in a number of solid entries, and took silvers in two events, and bronze in two others. The Airbenders, Airbender.tk and Airbender.net, finished in seventh and eighth place respectively. When they turned submissions in, they were good and competitive, but they just didn't turn enough in. That's it for the Avatar Interfansite Olympics in 2008! Thank you to all who played and spent hours of your time on this! I appreciate it and in my opinion this was a wild success! Congratulations to members of all teams, especially Kataang Forever, for winning it all! I'll be emailing stuff for the admins to put on their sites (KF can use the banner above for now). Thanks again for participating, this was a lot of fun! Thanks to Dylan of Dongbu Feng for hosting the trivias. Thanks to Iroh of Avatar Portal, Melanie of Dongbu Feng and Kristin N (no site affiliation) for helping out with the judging! Thanks to Alisa of Avatarverse, BSG of Blue Spirit Gal and Melanie of DF for helping to plan this event! And again thanks to all of you who have participated in this event and made it a success! I've been Jake, your main host, signing off. |
