Seven teams played here today for the Midwest TRASH Regional 
Championship. After a preliminary round-robin, Illinois was 
undefeated, and they joined We'd Like to Be the Team for Guys With 
Confederate Flags on Their Pickup Trucks (Wichita State A), Human 
Fund ("Money for People"), and Beat Back the Wolves! (WU house team) 
in the top playoff bracket. In the third and last playoff round, 
Confederate Flags beat Illinois 230-185 to pull within one game in 
the standings and force a championship game. In said game, 
Confederate Flags won 280-95 to claim the championship. Individual 
accolades went to the top five players, including Alex Houan of Human 
Fund, the leading scorer at 55/gm and winner of a battery-powered 
Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine truck, while The Marjin of Victory from 
Depauw won 4th place but took the negs title with 7. Full results

Much thanks go to everyone who showed up, especially for having 
patience with a missing team, a dead buzzer system, and a circle of 
death to decide the playoff teams, and also to our guest moderator 
(whom I never caught the name of). I'm sure Sean will post later to 
extend the list of thanked persons and inform us of the questionable 
nature of the prizes he hunted down for our winners.
