That's half time in the Battle of the Avatars Grand Final. The Animals take a 9 point lead into the major break after being 53 points down at quarter time. The Qunderdome is buzzing to chants of "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad" from the Animal fans.

 

[Dingster]

ah now that's better

Those thick shakes and McRibs at quarter time were inspirational.

 

[Strigoi]

Imagine how lame you'd have to be to create scenes after taking the lead with ten minutes left in the second quarter.

Taking the lead is taking the lead. No matter the point in the game. It’s exciting.
And both my legs work fine; I’m not lame. Thanks for your concern.

As the players take a well deserved break, it's time now for the Half Time Sprint.

Two posters from each avatar group who haven't been selected in their First XX have been chosen to race based on their interactions in this thread.

Representing the Animals are craffles and Shermy!

Representing the Artists are Elton Johns Wig and sausageroll!

Representing the Cartoons are Bovo and sataris!

Representing the Sportspeople are Dero and Van_Dyke!

The random sprint generator is courtesy of 100yardrush.com (if you want to make an foopy equivalent then please do so).

The sprinters make their way to the starting line.



And they're off! Van_Dyke has made a cracking start, followed by sausageroll and craffles.



Van_Dyke is still in the lead, by craffles is running like he stole something! Elton Johns Wig and sataris are also making their move.



Van_Dyke and sausageroll seem to be tiring, as Shermy now joins the leaders.



And craffles crosses the line! sausageroll has a second wind and is fighting Shermy for the minor placings.



Shermy hangs on for second, with sausageroll in third.



Confirming the standings, it's craffles taking out the Battle of the Avatars Grand Final half time sprint on behalf of the Animals with Shermy making it an Animal one-two making it a great day for them so far! sausageroll and Elton Johns Wig are 3rd and 4th for the Artists. sataris is 5th representing the Cartoons, early leader Van_Dyke blew himself out finishing 6th while fellow Sportsballer Dero finished in 7th, and stick figure Bovo trailed for pretty much the whole race.
