>advantage in a best of three.  Rufus King won the first game 320-205, and
>led the first game by a substantial margian at halftime, but Conserve A 
>came
>back to pull it out 295-230 for their second straight title.
>
>Individual stats are also attached - NAQT officials please note that we
>found lots of data entry errors in what I sent Saturday night, which have
>now been corrected.  Because I don't have Excel on my home computer, I 
>don't
>know who the top scorers were, but congratulations to them, as well.
>
>Special thanks go out to everyone who helped with this tournament, 
>including
>UW alumni Cathe Smith and Matt Langer, the latter who drove four hours and
>stayed to moderate the last match, as well as Matthew and Sara(h?) Boeke,
>who drove up from Rockford, and Kurt Wayland who came from Beaver Dam.
>Thanks also to Nolan Salzmann, long-time stats guru who helped train a new
>person for that thankless job and worked on editing the stats afterward, as
>well as our own team members who helped: Joel Velasco, Martin Bykowsky,
>Meredith Symonds, Vince Angermeier, Adam Bissen, and Ben Auer, as well as
>our coach Mark Zimmer.
>
>Finally, thanks to those who have done a lot to build the circuit in
>Wisconsin this year, Phil Blessman and Kurt Walters, as well as all the
>coaches who have worked with the teams and handled whatever bureuacracies
>the schools threw up at you, as well as parents who drove and supported the
>teams.
>
>Team stats should be available by this weekend.
>
>Hope to see all of you back next year!
