Pirate Scandal Exposed

Ever since the surprise-victory awarded the Rotten Legs following the Pirate-arrgh-run, discontent has been brewing among the many participants of the seminar. Many groups felt strongly that the victory was awarded based on obscure criteria; maybe even fraught. This suspicion has now been confirmed.
An anonymous, yet trustwothy, source, placed centrally in the scandal, comments:
"We were very surprised; we didn't even finish the run".
Th buzz on the street that the Rotten Legs were declared winners because it was the only name remembered by any facilitator, has also been confirmed. An even more anonymous source overheard the following exchange between two suspicious looking pirates who have been impersonating facilitators and were dressed up like pirates for the event.
"He, he. These scurvy sailors have no idea. They couldn't find a treasure even if they had a map."
"[hickup] No. The Rotten Legs were so rotten that even me mate Jim wouldn't trust them."
As this clearly demonstrates, there has been foul play. The pirates have not been seen since, but are
believed to have been made to walk the plank as a part of a scandalous cover-up.
Numerous attempts to get a comment from the facilitaters have lead to no results.

Well I think it's a very impressive feat of leadership that some facilitators remembered a team name. (Heck, I didn't even know they had names.)

You can be assured that the contest was fairly decided - we will make the procedural details public when we have made some up.
