I'm claiming a medallion on principle as Tonga Bob miscategorised my normal av as a cartoon and not as the seminal art of Daniel Johnston.

The last of the individual awards is the TiF Medal, for the best player over the whole of the Battle of the Avatars. And after today's Grand Final, the leader board looks like this:

TiF Medal Leaderboard
Player	Team	Votes	DT
guero	ART	3	234
The Half Back	ART	3	139
Bonz	ANI	3	116
Tarkyn_24	SPO	3	97
kdavva74	SPO	2	188
Muddiemoose	ANI	2	184
haydo	ANI	2	170
Test Tickle	SPO	2	159
PMBangers	CAR	2	155
pantskyle	ANI	1	134
fitzroybowiedog	ANI	1	94

So in the end four players all tied on three votes, but thanks to today's massive effort as well as a really good Game One, the DT point tiebreaker showed that there was one stand out candidate, so please join me in congratulating (again) guero from the Artists!

Here's guero receiving his medal from TheInjuryFactory.



And here's guero showing off both his TiF & Aunty Tron Medals.

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!

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.

View attachment 1139262

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.
