Minnesota Open is an mACF 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
