Hello All,
Sorry for the delay in announcing anything.  Full stats, team and 
individual, will be posted within the week when I can enter the 
scoresheets into a stats program

In this year's tournament there were 11 teams, including three one-
man outfits.  The plan was to play a round robin, and then break off 
into brackets of 4,4,3 for some mini round-robins.  However, due to a 
packet being read out of order, and no spares available, we had to 
change the format. 
At the end of the round robin the Swamis of Malgudi (Hillemann, 
Hentzel, Pike) and Resurrecting Guy Domville (Berdichevsky, Litvak, 
McClaren, and Cohn) finished tied with records of 9-1 (the Swamis 
beat the other top team but lost to the third place team, Fading into 
Bolivian (Bhan, Dhuwalia, McKenzie, and Borglum), which finished with 
two losses.  At this point the top two teams played a best of three 
game final, and the rest of the field played ladder play over 2 
rounds.  Congratulations to Eric, R., and Emily who deservingly won 
the title after winning the third and decisive game in the finals 
series.  This is their second title in three years.

The top two teams and top eight all stars got to choose prizes, all 
of which were books. 

Those top eight all stars were:
1. R. - 68.5 ppg
2. Zeke - 68 ppg.
(I'm not sure about the exact order at this point, but it goes 
something like this)
3. Seth Kendall
4. Nathan Freeburg
5. Wesley Matthews
6. Mike Wehrman
7. Kelly McKenzie
8. Mike Angel

Apologies if I misplaced your position - it will be corrected when I 
get the full results up sometime this weekend.

Thanks,
Subash
