Full stats from the weekend are still available at nhbbstats.com; full reports of Bowl final placement will be posted here and on the website when they are complete.
I would like to thank everyone who made this weekend possible. We had nearly 200 volunteer staffers and dozens of question writers devote their time and energy to this tournament, and we could not have put this event together without every one of those contributions. The hundreds of players, coaches, and parents thank you for your effort - and we thank them for their support, enthusiasm, and outstanding competition.
I have some thoughts on the tournament from the perspective of the stats room & help desk; I'll post those a bit later, after I take care of some loose ends. David also has some thoughts that he's going to relay to me soon, and I'll post those here. In the meantime, we welcome any and all feedback on this weekend's event via e-mail at [email protected]. (Feedback on the questions is also appreciated: see the post below!)
Thank you again for a great tournament!
