As the main pack editor for D2K1, I went back to see what other sports tossups were included in the original incarnation of the packet (we asked for 25 and only used 21 per round). I found that there was a tossup on Hermann Maier that I had cut. In retrospect, I should have probably included it in the packet simply because it was short on sports. I elected not to, however, because I thought it was a little too easy (and how many current male skiers can you name?) and there were several well written questions in the packet (even if they were not to everyone's liking). I apologize for this packet causing the problems it seems to have. One problem on my behalf was that, due to the fact that the scheduler was unable to come up until the morning of, I did not know which packets were going to be used when until about two hours before the tournament started, when I was worried about other things. This probably should not have been the packet for the final round and this is a mistake on my part... In any case, I'm glad that everyone seemed to have a good time. I'd love to hear any comments anyone had, either through the messageboard or e-mail. Especially because this is the first time Dartmouth has done something like this since Tim Young was here... Michael Who wishes he could have played the match game, but who even more wishes that he could have played Mmmph!
