Lawrence will send one team - we're playing the Tartan Tussle, too.
Mileage discounts? Yes? No? Appleton to Minneapolis is just under 300 miles...

I am not sure if Wayzata is going to attend, as Mitu hasn't contacted me about what's going on tomorrow morning and I'm guessing if we did attend it would just be Mitu and I. I really would like to attend, but if Mitu doesn't give me any confirmation I don't want to show up tomorrow without a team and play by myself again like at Titanomachy.

Mike and Sam?
Who are Mike and Sam and friends? Mike Pitera and Sam Caldis? Because that would be awesome!

Somehow I doubt that considering there is a Mike and a Sam on Eden Prairie.

I am assuming Andrew will post stats soon, but I figure I would provide a quick recap for people who are interested.
There were ten teams at this tournament. The tournament was won by Minnesota B (Rob Carson, Gautam Kandlikar, and Bernadette Spencer). The second place team was Drake (Brendan Byrne).
Third, fourth, and fifth place went to a high school team consisting of players from Eden Prairie and. Wayzata High Schools, Minnesota A, and Carleton A in some order that I don't know.
After the preliminary rounds there were four teams with a 7-2 record. After a playoff between the top 5 teams Minnesota B and Drake were in the championship game. Minnesota had a one game advantage because they had one fewer loss. Drake won the first game, and lost the second game.
The top scorer was Brendan Byrne and the number two scorer was Michael Wright. Other people in the top 8 in no order were Greg Peterson, Richard Leavelle, Andrew Bockover, Gautam Kandlikar, Rob Carson, and Andreas Stoehr.
This was a really fun tournament. I enjoyed playing 14 rounds and I definitely got my money's worth.

Hey, I'd like to thank everyone for sticking around. I think Brendan got the results mostly right above, so I will post stats without further ado.
full stats (playoff forfeits were added for only the top three teams)
I'm pretty sure that one of the games between Drake and Minnesota 2 wasn't inputted...if that was the case, I will remedy that ASAP.

There's a few little mistakes - for instance, one of Emily Koenig's TUs actually belongs to Richard Wanerman... but the major mistake is...
Wasn't Mount Mercy at this tourney?
Otherwise, the stats are good.
Other than the choice of start time, an incredibly smoothly-run tourney. Thanks to Andrew et al.

I think the 42 negs would do it. Chris Ray would be proud.cvdwightw wrote:Can someone please explain to me how Wayzata had more tossups, a higher bonus conversion, and more total points than Carleton in the same number of games, and yet finished with 13 less ppg than Carleton?
Edit: they didn't have more total pts - just more bonus pts.
Uh either way it doesn't add up. let us say every 2 negs effectively cancel 1 tossup. (i.e. -10 + 10 = 0)... then, Wayzata/EP hs team had 122- (42/2) = 101 Effective tossups. By similar logic, Carleton had 109 - (18/2) = 100 Effective tossups. So, negs aren't the cause?vandyhawk wrote:I think the 42 negs would do it.

I don't know what might be the cause. "human error"?

Carleton A left before the tournament was over, and I believe they played ten games and were 7-3 when they left. They therefore forfeited their last two games, but since they forfeited the games they did not accumulate any stats for those games.
Mount Mercy was at the tournament but left after three or four rounds. After they left I believe they were essentially removed from the tournament stats and teams that were supposed to play them had a bye. I played them in the second round and won, but that game did not end up counting. I feel that Andrew did the best thing by just erasing all the games they had played, because it would be unfair for some teams not to play them because they wouldn't have the chance to accumulate stats.
I believe that both Drake and Minnesota 2 beat Carleton in the playoffs by default because Carleton left. If those games count as wins then the final standings should have Minnesota 2 with an 11-3 record and Drake with a 10-4 record. One of the championship rounds was not inputted and Andrew said he would fix that when he gets a chance. Drake beat Minnesota 2 340-200 that round, but it doesn't affect who won the tournament or the rank of the teams at the tournament.

I would love to know if they played the team of high schoolers.

It says on the schedule that Mount Mercy was scheduled to play the high school team in round four and they left after round three of four, so I don't know if they played the high school team. I don't know why Mount Mercy left, but hopefully the tournament didn't turn them against quiz bowl.Deesy Does It wrote:I would love to know if they played the team of high schoolers.
Also, that was a pretty good high school team as evidenced by the fact they averaged over 20 points per bonus and nearly 300 points per game.

Forfeits screwed up the PPG for some reason, so I manually added them by editing the html standings file to make the results shake out right. Once I get that missing Drake/Minnesota game (assuming it matters enough to people), I'll update the standings further.
And sorry for the late start time. Unfortunately, the building at which we host our tournaments doesn't open until 10:00 on Sunday mornings, and because we wanted to give teams who played in Tartan Tussle the ability to play Fall, we hosted on Sunday.
