Greetings, everyone:

Here are brief stats for the Iowa State Fall Tournament, held October 
12, 2002 in Ames, Iowa.  Many thanks to the teams who made this 
tournament a success.

Division I was clinched for the undefeated Illinois A team after the 
double round robin.  South Carolina beat Carleton A in a tenth game 
to decide second place.

The number of games is slightly odd because two teams left at 
lunchtime.

Division I
----------
Team						Wins	Losses	PPG

Illinois A "Kitty Amin"				9	0	393.3
South Carolina					6	3	335.6
Carleton A "St. Vincent & the Grenadinz" 	6	3	289.4
Iowa State A "Green Fairy"			3	6	160.0
Iowa						1	8	129.4
Buena Vista A					0	5	10.0

Division II played eight games of round robin and then entered into 
ladder play, where Carleton B successfully defended their first-seed 
against Illinois B.  The ladder-play format enabled Grinnell B to 
work their way several slots up up the bracket.  Standings posted 
below are ordered by final standings but contain stats up through the 
end of the round-robin.

The neg champion was Steve of Grinnell A, who had 45 tossups and 12 
negs.  (Mike from Iowa also had 12 negs, but only had 34 tossups.)

Full stats will be posted on our club website soon, and I will post 
to the group when they are available.

Many thanks go to Matt Cvijanovich, chief question writer editor, and 
Michael Rach, my co-director.  Questions were also written by Paul 
Tomlinson, Michael Rach, Tim Meyer, Mickey TeKippe, Liz Carlson, and 
myself.  Thanks also to Charlie Steinhice and David Farris who 
exchanged packets with us.

Additional thanks also to our game officials, Paul Tomlinson, Matt 
Cvijanovich, Eric Hillemann, Tim Meyer, Scott Moser, Aubrey Da Cunha, 
Mark Fiddelke, Jeff Morrison, and Tim Kearns, as well as to our 
statisticians and war-room keepers Michael Rach and Liz Carlson.

I am very interested in critiques of this tournament.  This was the 
first tournament written by Matt, who is a third year player.  This 
is the second tournament that Michael Rach has run, and the first by 
me.  (We are both second-year players.)  So anything you have an 
opinion on, positive or negative, is something we'd like to hear 
about.  Please email me at mjf27 at iastate dot edu.

Thanks again to all who helped make this tournament successful.

Sincerely,
-Michael Falk
Co-Tournament Director, Iowa State Fall Tournament
