Hope I'm not too late I know the close was yesterday, but I've only marked 3 drawings.  I can only find one more, is that right?

Anyway, too late or not, I give Ingrid a 7.5 for her efforts 

[JWJ]

Hey Aerobafan .... how's your arm? I hope it's mending quickly.

I'll put your score into the scoreboard a.s.a.p. and no, it's not too late.

Yes there are only 4 drawings to mark.  Jassar was unable to complete a drawing due to other commitments.  This keeps things equal as you couldn't submit a drawing either

... and just to keep things completely fair, I'm off to break his arm for him!!!! 

[Kelly]

John, you are 

[JWJ]

Yeh!!!

Debbie has PM'd me her marks for the drawings.  This is what she had to say:

Here are my marks for John's team's drawings, I have to say they are all excellent.
John 10
Bugsy 10 (my favourite)
Pat 9
Ingrid 9

Well, as we draw this to a close ('scuse the pun )  I'd like to thank everyone for taking part.  I hope you have all had fun.  With only a couple of drawing marks to be added, it looks like John's team have won  .  We won the exercise part though 

Congratulations to the JWJOnline team.

This has been an interesting challenge causing team members to get involved in things they wouldn't normally get involved in. I know my team have all benefited (and enjoyed) having a go at the step excercise, and more than one of them have indicated that they will probably undertake some regular form of excercise as a result. I also have to say that my team all share my own view that this teams efforts at drawing have been to a much better standard than we had expected.

With regards to the marking of the drawings, this is a very subjective task, and is almost as hard as the challenge itself. It is my firm belief that this team has been over generous in it's awarding of points. Looking at the scores, each of our entries has been over-marked by at least 1 point per drawing. It is interesting to note that if we reduced our score by 1 point per drawing then the final scores would have been as near a dead-heat as makes no difference.

Thank you all for making this a great challenge ... we've enjoyed it immensely.

Well that is music to my ears

And we have been very impressed by your stepping.

Very interesting observation.  However, the result stands
