That's a much funnier tournament acronym than the one from Cornell
(though those last few words don't quite fit).  I don't think the
change from BRRR was meant to offend one gender, or to offend anyone
in particular -- it's just a (possibly alcohol- or alkaloid-induced)
joke which doesn't really work.  Besides that, I'd hate to go to the
Student Activities people at my school to request funding to attend
the CUNT tournament.
