Source-a-Thon Team Splitting Update

Question

Hi Source-a-Thon-ers, 

We're not going to split Source-a-Thon teams.

Splitting up big teams was our original idea, but it wasn't a very elegant
solution to the problem of unbalanced teams.

Ales came up with something much smarter and automated.

There will be two winning teams: the overall winning team and the
statistically-weighted winning team. We think this should work well.

Onward and upward to an awesome Source-a-Thon weekend!

So, now that I have spent quite a while tidying up the Team GB-Gen page to show three teams - there's only going to be one after all? Sigh.

Oh well.  Guess that's why Chris pays me the big bucks LOL - Did I say that out loud? LOL
