Days 12 and 13 - August 8th/9th

Again, sorry for the delay, but here are the standings after Day 12:


And now here are the standings after Day 13:


There weren't many points handed out after yesterday, but many were delivered today!  
The big movers and shakers include:
The Cheerios, with USA Women Soccer, Misty May and Kerri Walsh Beach Volleyball, and Brittany Reese claiming Gold Medals for a nice 25 point boost.

Lucy in the Sky with Gold Medals (Me!) had a nice pickup with the USA Women winning the Water Polo gold, and Emanual/Alison managing the silver in Beach Volleyball (they had the gold in hand! bums!).

Now, here is the real meat of what you all want to know - what's left and how is my team going to do?  Well I put together a rough list of Max Possible Points remaining for each team, so here's a nice chart with the potential for each team remaining:


Now, realize this factors in MAX possible for each team, so teams with basketball teams that have not been eliminated could have a max of 10 points, but obviously that's not a good estimate unless a miracle occurs.  So what's important to take away from this is that it's not all over.  For example, if I max out and Mad Hatter maxes out, then I only lose by 7 points!  (Kitajima you still suck). 

If you factor points in, then the only teams mathematically eliminated out of medal contention at this point are: Fish and Chips of Gold and The Daft Boffin.

Three more days - I can hardly believe it is almost over!  I'm going to be sad it's gone, but I will be happier if I can land on the podium!


Good luck all!
