First off, mea maxima culpa for not getting this stuff up yesterday. A combination of real-world stuff and a formatting problem. But now we're set. Thirty-two teams descended on Northwestern University to participate in 2001: A TRASHionals Oddity this past weekend. When the dust settled, Christopher Walkens Dance Party (Cal-Berkeley) defeated BATTLEPLANET!!! for the title, winning some cool stuff that you already heard about. The tournament started by breaking the teams into two 16-team conferences- named for Northwestern alums Mike Adamle and Brent Musberger. Those conferences were then broken down further into 8-team divisions named for XFL players who use nicknames on their game jerseys: Thoro, Raybo, He Hate Me, and Death Blow. There were 11 preliminary rounds. Teams played a round-robin within division, and also played 4 inter-division games within their conference. Standings were kept using a modified NASL system, where the winning team earned 3 points for a victory, and both teams earned a point for every 100 points they scored in each game. Ties saw teams each get 2 points for the tie, plus the points for their scores from the game. At the end of 11 rounds, the standings were as follows: ADAMLE CONFERENCE THORO DIVISION TEAM PTS Mike Keenan Employment Agency, LLC 54 Crouching Tyler, Hidden Flaxman 41 Friendship at the Front of the Line 38 Dude, Wheres My Buzzer 36 Tonight Well Paint Your Corpses Red! 35 Dogs Bollocks 27 Do Androids Dream of Inflatable Sheep? 18 The Bald and the Booty-ful 14 RAYBO DIVISION TEAM PTS Steel Margolises 57 Jimmy James Rockin Ranger Brigade 42 Almost Shameless 38 What Would DeJesus Do? 37 Camryn Manheim Steamroller 32 Crouching Tiger Moth, Hidden Dragonfly 27 ak^2o[Y][W]cos(theta) 20 Breakfast at Chippendales 19 MUSBERGER CONFERENCE HE HATE ME DIVISION TEAM PTS BATTLEPLANET!!! 48 Bostons Greatest Pricks 43 Steve McQueensryche 41 Fear of a Cartoon Planet 39 PBS Pledge Enforcement Van 34 Tia and the TRASHmen 29 Dick Cheney and the Heart Attacks 26 Jar Jar Binks Estrogen Brigade 3 DEATH BLOW DIVISON TEAM PTS Christopher Walkens Dance Party 57 O Gerbil Where Art Thou? 51 Worst Episode Ever 51 Shelby Foote Soldiers 45 Bride of Chuck E.
