Thanks.

We also
had to elect a Most Valuable Player for each team. We 3 TWs were all
elected MVP of our teams. I think the 4th team elected a QA person. I
was especially pleased to be elected since I'd spent the entire exercise
lying on a table, wrapped in ice-packs.
It seemed to really open peoples' eyes to the TWs and how we worked, how
we thought, and what we could do, given half a chance.
