As promised, slightly more detailed results. Capitol Punishment II was held at George Washington University on 15 July 2000. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ----------------- The #2 seed Vulgar Display of Power (Dave Vacca, Tim Young, Phil Castagna, Jon Needle) defeated the #1 seed Mark Chmura's Babysitter Club (Kenny Peskin, Mike Burger, Alex Hovan, Dwight Kidder) 290-185 to win the title. Tim took home a double victory, as he also won the Century of Tunes competition, pulling away convincingly from Phil Castagna in the final five questions of the second round. Due to the high sound quality of the song snippets we played at Century of Tunes, I severely doubt I would have been much of a factor had I been participating. :) SUMMARY ------- Eleven teams participated in a round-robin, after which four teams broke for playoffs.

A thank-you goes out to the following people who wrote questions and/or moderated: Edmund Schluessel, Patrick Hunter-Kilmer, Mark Goldfarb, Brendan Drew, Stephen Snyder, Rebecca Hart, Hayden Hurst, Brick Barrientos. Another thank-you goes out to the teams who participated and made CP2 a success. We grew nearly 100% from last year, and I would like to see 14-15 teams come out for next year's fixture. Capitol Punishment III will be in July 2001, likely on the beautiful campus of George Mason University. I will be stepping down as director of future Capitol Punishments, due to increased obligations; I am getting married on Saturday! However, I will continue to edit and attempt to ensure question quality. As expressed before, I hope to make Capitol Punishment a fixture on the summer circuit. I know I don't speak for Bryce, but I do believe that Every Man For Himself will also be held that weekend, but not on the same day :) Again, thanks to all who attended. These results will also be posted to the Yahoo club board. Shawn Pickrell Director, Capitol Punishment II
