14 players participated in the UIUC edition of Myth Singles 1: Tlazolteotl Chows Down. Congratulations to Seth Kendall, who took first place with an overtime win in the first game of the final series. Players were split randomly into two brackets of 7, played a 7-round round robin, then were seeded into brackets of 4, 4, 3, and 3 for a 3-round round robin. Since there were always two players with byes, and we had 7 readers, bye players played cross-bracket games for fun, but these games did not count for standings or PPG. Here are the standings for the first 7 rounds of play, the next 3 rounds of play (4 rounds for Seth and Susan, since there was one additional finals series game), and PPG for the first 7 rounds of play: Seth Kendall 6-0, 4-0, 145.833 PPG Susan Ferrari 6-0, 2-2, 146.667 PPG Andrew Yaphe 5-1, 1-2, 115 PPG Will Turner 5-1, 0-3, 105 PPG Jerry Vinokurov 4-2, 3-0, 110.833 PPG Mike Sorice 4-2, 1-2, 89.167 PPG Selene Koo 3-3, 2-1, 89.167 PPG Gerald Patton 3-3, 0-3, 61.667 PPG Ryan Westbrook 2-4, 2-0, 86.667 PPG Dan Fuller 2-4, 1-1, 46.667 PPG Ryan Taber 1-5, 0-2, 25.833 PPG Bruce Arthur 1-5, 2-0, 62.5 PPG Hunter Wight 0-6, 1-1, 28.333 PPG Victor Rosenberg 0-6, 0-2, 28.333 PPG Looking over the results, I can see that I messed up in assigning Ryan Taber to the 3rd bracket and Bruce Arthur to the 4th bracket. My apologies to the affected players. I would like to thank and congratulate the players for making it through an extra 10 rounds of quiz bowl at the end of a full day. I would especially like to thank the readers who helped me out: Chris Goheen, Matt Lafer, Paul Litvak, Sudheer Potru, Leah Williams, and Donald from UIUC. I would also like to thank Mike Sorice for making sure we had rooms and printing out copies of the schedule. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. -Seth p.s.--are there any results (official or unofficial) from the Oklahoma site?
