I'd just like to thank Mike Burger and the rest of the Michigan crew 
for the Burns this weekend.  The format change to the full round 
robin made the always-difficult bracketing a moot point, and the 15-
question games didn't produce as many upsets as I had thought (not 
that upsets are bad).

The packets were great for the most part (it was mine that drew the 
angry mob, I apologize). Everything ran on time, and the lunch hour 
was very enjoyable playing the home game of the Match Game.

Special thanks to Kevin Olmstead for his hospitality in allowing us 
to use his centrally air-conditioned basement and large screen TV for 
the Gameshow round, again thanks to Mike for his work in that 
department.

Also, thanks to Charlie Stenihice for the packet trade, I recommend 
buying the set just to get the Bonus from the Lee U. team with the 
covers of the old-school Atari 2600 games.

Finally, any trash enthusiasts who have not made the trip for this 
event, I highly recommend placing it on your calendar in the future, 
just book your hotel rooms early to avoid the crush of the Frisbee 
Golf Nationals (I kid you not!).

Thanks to all the volunteer moderators who read 15 rounds in an 
increasingly sweltering building and the whole Michigan contignent 
for running a great event.
