the Senate Chamber of Whig Hall by again defeating
Carleton, 220-125.

The top individual scorers were
Raj Dhuwalia (Florida Atlantic), Edmund Schluessel
(GW), Peter Austin (Swarthmore), and Dave Hayes
(Rutgers New Brunswick A). Special congratulations to
Jason Keller of Cornell, who answered seventy-three
tossups without negging once. Thats the scariest ratio
Ive ever seen your Tallis award was well deserved,
sir. Full individual stats below

But first,
Id like to thank everyone who saved my sanity by
helping out with the packets. Thanks to Stan Jastrzebski
of DePauw and Jerry Hagen of Indiana for swapping
questions; their science, fine arts, and trash questions
were most helpful to this history major. Thanks to
Anthony DeJesus of Case Western, Emmet Tuohy of
Georgetown, and especially Maureen Smith of Maryland for
providing freelance packets. And finally a hearty thank you
to the large number of people who helped me edit
packets and write playoff questions, to wit: Michael
Chiswick-Patterson, David Farris, David Isaacson, Larissa Kelly,
Katherine Kimber, Lenny Kostovetsky, Steve Lawrie, Ben
Malkevitch, Jacob Mikanowski, Dave Sachs, Charles Steinhardt,
Ray Yang, and last but certainly not least,
Tournament Directrix Extraordinaire Barbara Slote.


Thanks again and I hope to see all of you next year at
PUBfest V: Still Crazy After All These
Years.
