I think the same. It's fun to imagine, but when it comes down to it, if a team only has 3 or 4 big point earners and no one else, they would have a lot more pressure to make sure they read as much as possible and update their spreadsheets regularly. Then when life events happen and reading can't be prioritized, it can be stressful for a team of a few people since one person has so much influence over their standing.

We had a lot of participation drop off after the first couple of years because people said the competition was stressful, and when they didn't read as much as they had expected to, they felt like they were letting their team down.

Maybe it could be something like an extra sheet we could request next year (only if you have time and want to do something like this, Iain) comparing the top 5 or 10 to everyone else, but as of right now, I have no plans to arrange the teams in this way.

Yeah, no date set for signups yet, but probably around the schedule as this year. :)

I task Virginie with creating:

Team Reading Competition Fantasy Football ;)

The people can mess around and draft teams, and see who can create the closest scoring team compositions, etc etc etc :D

Would be alot of work, to rework the existing spreadsheet, to facilitate swapping teams with as little effort as possible...

Just did the math, would need to be top 6 if this year is representative. Maybe I can add a small section for it on the main page, just below the top earner thingy :)
