BRRR 2002: J-Kel on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, happened today 
in Ithaca.  The tournament ended about five hours ago.  Here were the

Maryland A and Rochester A advanced to a best-of-3 final with 
Maryland A holding a one-game advantage.  Rochester A squeaked out 
wins of 150-100 and 215-180 to win the tournament.  They took home a 
DVD of the namesake of this tournament, the fine Almodovar 
flick "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown," while Maryland A 
left with a VHS cassette of "The Fellowship of the Ring."

Edmund Schluessel was the top scorer, and chose to take the CD "ABBA: 
The 20th Century Masters."

Matt Lafer, Ian Campbell of Michigan B, and Fred Bush rounded out the 
top 4, and each of them received Cornell mugs.

Elliott Fleming of CMU negged 29 times to win the neg title, and for 
winning, received a bottle of Pepsi Blue.

Individual stats will come later.

I would like to thank all the teams for putting up with the tendency 
of this tournament to obey Murphy's Law.

I would also like to thank Anthony de Jesus, Seth Teitler, and Chris 
Romero for providing much-needed freelance packets, Dwight Kidder, 
Mike Hoey-Lukakis, and the Cornell crew for staffing, and Mike H-L, 
Nate Meyvis, Chris Romero, Stephanie Walker, Susan Ferrari, Amanda 
Butler, and Josh Levit for putting up with me on AIM at various times 
when I was stressing over the submissions.

Speaking of the questions, while there can't be discussion on the 
board of specific questions since Texas A&M will be hosting a mirror, 
you can E-mail me with questions or comments and in most cases, I 
will be glad to field them.

Jason A. Keller
TD, stat guy, and hopefully getting away from that state of "On the 
verge of a nervous breakdown."
