Ladies and gentlemen, after a long tournament and many exciting battles, I'm pleased to announce that we have a winner! The finalists were very closely matched and finished within one point of each other, but at the closing whistle the final score was...

... giving us no firm answer as to which is better, but at least allowing us to end the match before we had to pay double overtime to the strike crew.
I'm glad we could bring a little joy and silliness to your winter! It remains to be seen if this will return next year. The final matches show that it really does depend on the whim of the participants, and we could very well have seen any of our top 8 make it to the stand. (As it was I had to determine the third place finalist by margin of victory.) This means that we could certainly do it again and with a selection of new items to liven things up it could still be fun and exciting. Since the whole thing was pretty much a middle-of-the-night inspiration with very little planning (obviously) I welcome your suggestions as to how it could be improved if we bring it back again.
Hopefully it also gave you an opportunity to discuss what you do with your family - I know that there's a whole group of folks in central California who were introduced to stage management due to my constant dashing for the computer while I was traveling over the holidays.
This board will remain in view for a few days and then will go into hiding as a child board of Tools of the Trade, as most of the discussion is quite useful for providing new ideas on using the competing gadgets.
Thanks to all who participated in December Madness!
For the IDMC,
PSMKay
