In all, Stanford had 19 packets to work with (13 East Coast, four
Berkeley A packets, and two freelance packets, one of which contained
a small number of questions from a different set of Berkeley players) .
It would only have taken a slight bit of 'jigging', as it were (using a
replacement round in one room in one round), to do a full round robin in
15 rounds--but that would have also required running the risk of not
being able to play a finals match because one of the teams had written
the questions.
