Due to a lack of rooms in the engineering center, the tournament has been moved to Hellems.

If any well-funded programs want to fly out a B/C/D team, we'd greatly appreciate it. Colorado (and Boulder in particular) is a wonderful place to visit.

Congrats to Colorado A for winning this tournament, and to Zach from KSU for being the top scorer. We'd like sincerely thank all the teams who showed up for contributing to a wonderful day of quizbowl.
