Side Events
- CO Visual Arts, written by Stephen Liu with Doug Graebner. Widely praised for excellent questions on a variety of well-chosen, important, and interesting topics.
- RILKE, a literature tournament by John Lawrence with Nick Jensen. Received a somewhat mixed reception due to high difficulty and some sentence structure complaints.
- CO History, run by Jeff Hoppes. The tournament was run as a mostly guerilla event, with packets thus varying wildly in quality.
