Congratulations to Florida Atlantic University A
and Emory C for winning, respectively, Division I and
Division II of the 4th annual Center of the Known Universe
Open. COTKU 2001 was held at UT-Chattanooga on Sat.
10/20/01. In Division I, second and third went to
(respectively) Kentucky A and Vanderbilt; in Division II,
Wofford and Snead State CC took 2nd and 3rd.


Before going into the full results, there are a lot of
people to thank. Editor-in-chief Ben Lea and his crew at
Missouri-Rolla provided the bulk of the questions, and Matt
Levine and his cohorts at Cal-Berkeley contributed
several much-needed rounds. House readers and officials
who worked hard for the garlic rolls included Stephen
Taylor,
Jason Russell, Scott Sanders, James Washick, Joseph
Dion, Keith Hidson, Phil Groce, Chris Hendry, Mark
Dawson, Patrick Riser, Wally Edmondson, Mark Rupright,
Chris and Shannon Sloan, and Ernie, whose last name I
have shamefully forgotten. Even with this many house
officials, we also needed and got help from several
volunteer readers and scorekeepers from the bye teams. My
thanks to all. And of course thanks go to UTC stats
goddess Dorothy Morisch, who coped with 31 teams and
several computer and paperwork problems and still
produced full stats within minutes of the round robin's
end.

 Speaking of which, those results will follow in
the next message...
