Minnesota Open (or MO) is an mACF, open, hard collegiate tournament held during the fall.
2008 Incarnation
The first MO was held on the 18th of October at the University of Minnesota. It was a packet submission event edited by Rob Carson, Andrew Hart, Gautam Kandlikar, and Bernadette Spencer with several contributions by Charles Meigs and other gracious members of the community. Mirrors of the 2008 MO were held at UTC, Stanford and MIT.
In addition to the main tournament, there were three side events:
- a literature subject doubles headed by Andrew Hart et al and
- a Trash tournament produced by Colin O'Donnell et al.
- JECHT Doubles written by Jeremy Eaton and Jonathan Magin
The first annual Giacomo Balla basketball tournament was played the Friday night before the tournament, resulting in the delightful spectacle of a sore Rob Carson limping around for the entire ensuing weekend.
Results
The tournament was won after a close, rousing final by a team consisting of Alex Boone, Charlie Dees, Matt Weiner, and Christian Carter over a Seth Teitler-lead team. Stats can be found at this page
The MIT mirror was won by a duo of Jerry Vinokurov and Eric Mukherjee, whose efforts to replicate the Hoppes-Mikanowski feat of topping 70 ppg each was almost successful. Stats can be found here
The Stanford Mirror was won by a team of Mike Sexton and Brian Lindquist. Stats can be found here
2009
The second MO was held on the 17th of October at the University of Minnesota. It was a packet submission event edited by Rob Carson, Andrew Hart, Gautam Kandlikar, Bernadette Spencer, and Brian Lindquist.
Once again, there were some exciting side events:
- A fine arts tournament by Shantanu Jha, Ted Gioia, Aaron Rosenberg, et al on Saturday night
- A science tournament by Eric Mukherjee on Sunday
- A vanity literature/trash event by Mike Cheyne
Results
The tournament was won by a team of Jerry Vinokurov, Eric Mukherjee, and Guy Tabachnick in a final against Matt Weiner, Charlie Dees, Auroni Gupta, and Joey Spicer. Stats can be found here.
2010
The third MO was held on November 17, 2010. It was edited by Rob Carson, Mike Cheyne, Gautam Kandlikar, and Bernadette Spencer (Andrew was starting law school at the time).
2011 (Minnesota Open / Penn Intergalactic)
The 2011 incarnation of Minnesota Open got its second name when Rob Carson, Mike Cheyne, and Bernadette Spencer added Eric Mukherjee of Penn for their science editing. Some editors' packets featured questions from Saajid Moyen and Patrick Liao.
2012
The 2012 incarnation of Minnesota Open, held on November 17, 2012, was edited by Andrew Hart, Auroni Gupta, Cody Voight, and Gaurav Kandlikar.
