How does this happen?

My dodgeball team, the ROY G BIVS (best/lamest name ever all at the same time) won our league this season. It was a "really-rec" league where they don't judge you on wins and losses but on your sportsmanship and the amount of fun you have.

What confuses me is that our team didn't really go out to have fun and our sportsmanship was questionable at best. We were playing to win....and I don't think a bunch of rage cases hucking balls at people as hard as they can is really the epitome of either good sportsmanship or having fun.

Woohoo.

Basically, the league champ was determined by having the captains vote for which team was their fave for the year based on overall fun. I can only assume we were voted for because people wanted to vote for the team they thought would get the least votes so they'd have the best chance of winning. Looks like that backfired.
