Re: TrashMasters at UT-Chattanooga 12/5/2009
Zack and Cody Make a Porno (Quintong et al.) went undefeated to win TrashMasters. Charlie will likely post the full results in the coming days.

(There were - despite a large and very closely bunched middle in one of the brackets in particular - no circles of death, and if I remember correctly no head-to-head tiebreaker anywhere in the field moved a team from one tier up/ down into another tier.)

Re: TRASHionals 11 Discussion
The playoff format that's been used for the past n years has taken the top two teams from each of the 3 prelim brackets into the finals group, with only the head-to-head records carrying over. That resulted in a four-round finals series with each team starting either 1-0 or 0-1. This year, with onl...
