Hey all. I first off want to apologize for being somewhat behind the curve in all of this, as I do not often check this, but I thought I would say a couple of things just for the record. The Rhodes A team, of which I was a part, would like to thank both Steve and Charlie for their concern and consideration in the admittedly rather confusing and excitable atmosphere after twelve hours or so of play on Saturday Feb. 9th. We were very comfortable with the way the tournament was run and are very appreciative of their efforts to make the overall outcome of the NAQT Sectionals equitable for all concerned. We feel that it was overall a regrettable circumstance that was handled in the best possible fashion given the situation. We are also encouraged by Eric Hillemann's comments that we will likely have anothe shot at things in the ICT. So overall, thanks to all concerned for making it a palatable situation and for hosting a well run tournament. We do not appreciate that some members of other teams chose to attack Rhodes Quiz Bowl or any of its team members on this board, especially in that much of those attacks were founded upon a considerable lack of knowledge. And we would expect and appreciate such accusations to be refrained from in the future. Speaking for myself alone, I think that everyone would have been best served if you, Patrick, had chosen not to speak out before you knew the full story and had not characterized my team in such a negative light. It is probably a very good thing that I had not read this board during that time, as I would have most likely been far less than civil. Oh, despite what you were told by "someone on the team," since we did not have an advisor that day, it was the whole team talking about the glitch to Steve and not just me, since I am in charge of our organization. that kid from Rhodes Wes Harwell President of Rhodes Quiz Bowl
