The issues regarding repeats have already been addressed, and Mike already brought up the two to...

I would like to compliment Andrew and company for a quality tournament, both in terms of question quality and logistics/management/moderation. If they decide to run it again in 2009, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys trash tournaments or is even just curious about trying a trash tournament. ...

I think this is one of the better TRASHionals that I've attended. Some things that they've improved on: -- more and better video game questions. -- a willingness to go slightly more obscure on comic book stuff. -- Music questions seemed in general better. I can't really speak for the music in gener...
