Until I misclicked and sent out the previous incomplete posting, Sword Bowl 2002 was among the smoothest tournaments we've ever run at UTC. One locked door and one double-booked room for the morning? Small potatoes. Get this: We actually finished sooner than I'd expected. Major thanks go to the outstanding corps of officials who made all this possible: Coley McGinness of Tennessee State, Glenn Allen Bobo of Bevill State, Eric Douglass of South Carolina, house readers Stephen Taylor, Jason Russell, Scott Sanders, Gail Celio, Keith Hudson, James Quintong, and Toby Walter. And that's not even counting the other coaches (Anderson Williams of Morehouse, Stan Jastrzebski of DePauw, and Scotti Whitmire and Markus Iturriaga of Tennessee) who were willing to pitch in if we needed more. It's a rare luxury to have this much help and be able to let coaches off the hook. Thanks also to Wally Edmondson for spearheading buzzer setup, Shannon Moore for handling registration, and of course UTC's unsurpassed stats goddess, Dorothy Morisch. Finally, special thanks go to Samer Ismail, tournament director of Penn Bowl, who went above and beyond in providing raw material for use in Sword Bowl packets.
