I will not add any more to the encomia already properly and
deservedly supplied here (besides, I made my feelings known to those
running the tournament at the time), but I'd like to point out that,
in addition to Saurabh and Jim, Stephen Webb has been left out of
those singkled out for priase, and I wanted to make sure he received
his kudos in a public forum; obviously, the entire Tech team played a
role in this excellent tournament, but if the report is accurate,
Saurabh and Webb did most of the writing/editing, and the lion's
share of the laudation should fall to them.
Likewise to Lien and the crew at the UIUC tournament; these two
tournaments have been rightly cited as paradigmatic for the way
tournaments should be run. Good job, everyone.
