ANNOUCEMENT: TRASH Regionals at Univ. of Illinois
OK, I've been lazy with updating, as there hasn't been much to add.
At the moment, I've got four teams in:
Passner et al
Jastrzebski et al
Mike Keenan Employment Agency
License to IL
I'd like to see more teams come out, even though it is on a Sunday.
Again, if you'd like to register a team, or if you have any questions, drop me an email at dtaylor1987 at gmail dot com, and I'll try to respond as quickly as I can.
More information (location, possible schedule, etc.) will be posted when available.

For the record, our 4th is Lorin Burte. Also, that is an insanely packed field. I heard a Lafer-led Michigan team is coming, if so, that is 6 teams of upper half of TRASHionals caliber. TRASH better be ready to give out some bids to teams with .250 winning percentage. ;)

Seven teams and a house team competed at the Lower Midwest TRASH Regionals today, and after 10 rounds, there was no clear winner. In the advantaged final, Mike Keenan's Employment Agency, LLC (Mike Burger, Craig Barker, Anne Mitchell, and Joe Wright) came back to defeat Lords of Alacrity (Stan Jastrzebski, Eric Berman, Scott Johnston, Greg Sorenson) in the first game to take the championship.
The top three individuals were Craig Barker (MKEA), Andy Walz (Walz et al.) and Greg Sorenson (LoA), with the neg prize going to Colby Burnett (License to IL).
Thanks to my fellow teammates Steven Canning, Sulee Cao, Alan Cherney, John Dolan, Chang Meng, James Sanner, as well as guest moderators Kevin Olmstead, Roger Cheng, and Eric Kwartler.
Full stats will be up in the near future.

First:
My dearest apologies go out to Bill O'Reilly's Tru Kultchur Wariers (Brian Hight, Mark Richey, Jeremy White), as due to the statistical tiebreakers, they should have played the final instead of Lords of Alacrity. I miscalculated and didn't wait for the stats to be entered.

It's a good thing we didn't throw things off even more with an upset. Also, in a late roster move, the Scott on our team ended up being Chupack, not Johnston.
Except for getting conflicting information on where we were supposed to be a few times throughout the day, things ran pretty smoothly. Thanks for hosting, and thanks to those who came out to create one of the densest fields I've seen.
