Is this a high school tournament?

Not unless you're Emily Hooper.

Oops. I posted that sucker in the high school section by mistake. That'll teach me to pay more attention.

Hey all,

Full statistics will be posted soon, but here is a brief rundown of Saturday's results.

Division I
1 Stanford B (11-1)
2 Stanford A (8-4)
3 UCI (4-8)
4 UCLA (1-11)

Division II
1 Stanford A (14-1)
2 Berkeley A (13-2)
3 UC Davis (10-4)
4 Stanford C (6-8)
5 Berkeley B (6-8)
6 UCLA (4-10)
7 Stanford B (3-11)
8 UCI (1-13)

Stanford B as you can see took number one in division 1. After 14 rounds in division 2, Berkeley A (Jenny and Brian) tied with Stanford A. A final game was played, with Stanford A coming out on top.

To let off some steam after being frustrated all day yesterday, before full stats go up: UCLA's only win was also Stanford B's only loss. We finished with (according to my unofficial stats) 263.3 PP20H, 2.6 powers per 20 tossups, and a BC of 17.75, yet finished 4-8. UCLA may well be the best 1-win team in the history of SCT, and I'd venture to guess we put up some of the best numbers ever for a .333 team.

I don't know whose bright idea it was to put Peter and Gaius in the same room, but I'd like to thank Matt Bruce for arranging to switch them with Jeff and Larissa before somebody in D1 blew a gasket.

[Matt Weiner]

Well, a literal reading of what NAQT has revealed about the S-value implies that win-loss record, in and of itself, is not a factor. So, they may be a 1-11 team who gets invited to the ICT, based on those stats.
