As a minor clarification/correction, the suggestion of a fourth round robin occurred a little before I knew the teams would end up all being 4-4 after round 8 and was initially separate from the discussion about finals sequences (some teams ha...

This happened. Brown A won the DI field through a finals sequence that for quizbowl's sake I hope never has to be repeated. Yale B cleared the DII field with a perfect record. Congratulations to both teams, and thank you to all the staffers and players for participating! A special thanks as well to ...
