Best Team/Organization Tournament: Post-Mortem

I believe the "no summer '09" series rule is that during the nominations phase, there is not enough information available as to justify the groups inclusion, not that current events are precluded from voting consideration.

The team was still succesful in the end of the first season.

Never thought I'd be defending SOS brigade, but oh well...
Everyone who's been changing their votes lately are letting themselves being talked into.

Team Rocket. As far as I can remember their members were always fighting and not cooperating, their boss was always in the shadows and over all, they were a total failure as to completing their goals.

SOS brigade. A selfish leader, always dragging the members around and giving orders. But whoever said the leader had to be kind? They got the job done in season 1, which was saving the world, and then again by the end of "endless eight".
But this team has two meanings and people are fighting over it.
#1 - Originally created to protect the world and not let it become unstable by sucking up to Haruhi. (they've been quite successful at this so far)
#2 - A school club which is often dragged by Haruhi against their wishes.

Whoever made the guide entry, made it clear the group's goals were #2.
Quickly question: Would an alien, a time traveler, an esper and a person who hates to be there be in that group for #2?

But for me it's clear SOS brigade exists for #1, the members make the group after all.

For me it ends here, I won't say any further since both teams are just awful.

The SOS Brigade's Exalted Leader still hasn't found a single instance of Aliens, Time Travelers or ESPers, and therefore to her the club still hasn't done what it was created to do.

Kyon spoiler[remembering to do his homework] is not in any definition I've ever seen of "saving the world".

In terms of functional intent - i.e. keeping Haruhi under observation and discouraging her from totally recreating the world - the team has been successful.

Am I the only one with these thoughts or is it really suspicious to see someone voting in the tournament in their first post.

And with that I believe A-11 is tied. It sure was a long and hard-fought comeback. Now we just need one more vote for Seishu Prefab Team to nudge it over the line . . . (hint hint) . . .

While to some extent, I understand why Key made an exception since the team has come and gone in the series, but I'm also a little hesitant on changing my vote because by your words it didn't technically finish it's first season, which by itself is one of Key's conditions for being eligible for this tournament. I know I'm being a bit of stickler for the rules, but I don't think an exception like this has been made before, and not that it is necessarily a bad thing, but a a part of the reason it was made was probably due to Key's strong level of support for this team.
