BASQUE 2005 was successfully held July 2 on the lovely UC-Berkeley
campus. Despite turnouts which might have inspired saner TDs to cancel
the tournament, yours truly pressed on, hosting Chicago Open, Trash,
and Science Monstrosity over the course of the day.
In CO, "Intelligence fixed around topology" (David F, Lev O, Peter
McC, and Gaius S) dominated the field by going 6-0. Full results are

In Trash, "Death From Above" (Jon P, Matt L) similarly ran roughshod
by also posting a 6-0 record. Full results are at

And finally, in SM, Paul L. was not-quite-as-dominant in going 3-0-1
to capture the SM title. Full results are at

Thanks to Andy, Paul R, Ray, Juliana, Andrew, and Gaius for helping
out in various capacities, and thanks to everyone who came!
