After everything was sorted out, Region 2's double elimination playoffs ended up exactly like last year: 1) Cornell (8 straight titles, 13 straight NCT appearances) Players: Evelyn Browne, Anwar Kashem, Steve Melnick, Jason Keller 2) Rochester 3) Syracuse 4) Saint Lawrence However, getting to that point was not without complications: Match #1: Rochester 195, Syracuse 165. Rochester trails at the half, pulls ahead in the last 2 minutes and holds on for victory. Match #2: Cornell 230, Saint Lawrence 140. Cornell trails at half 110-65. Then wakes up and dominates the second half. Match #3: Syracuse 165, Saint Lawrence 125 <Saint Lawrence eliminated> Match #4: Rochester 245, Cornell 185 <Rochester clinches spot in final> Match #5: Cornell 155, Syracuse 150 (2OT) Syracuse is announced as winning 195-155. Cornell had a pending 2nd half protest on a science tossup. (Anwar Kashem gave a general answer, immediately followed by a more specific term; all information given was correct) Protest is upheld after seeing that tossup specifically called for a prompt if the general answer was given. Score is adjusted to remove 40 points from Syracuse (they 30'd the bonus). Cornell is given the next 30 point bonus off the clock--and bagels it. Score 155-155. An overtime tossup is read, both teams miss for no penalty. 2nd overtime tossup is -5ed by Syracuse. Cornell wins. Match #6: Cornell 300, Rochester 145. Cornell leads 145-90 at half, then goes nuts in the second half. Match #7: Cornell 200, Rochester 170. Cornell trails 110-65 at half. Pulls close, takes lead in last 2 minutes and holds on for the win.
