The field has been updated. Other Four year and CC teams in the Southeast should also feel free to come: UF, FSU, UGA...I am looking at you!

I was planning on moderating at Weekend of Quizbowl, but this would be more interesting. Problem is, there is no way I'm driving that far. If anyone near the Atlanta-Area were able to give me a lift... it may be more conceivable.

EDIT: Or, if any teams needed a lift and would be willing to go down with me, saving the annoyance of driving alone for half a day and sharing some gas payment, I may be open to that.

What time do it start? I may have one team of cannon fodder for y' all braniacs.

There have been a number of changes to the field, we still have room, so if you are interested, we would love to have you!

Chipola College, solely composed of the very impressive Dallin Kelson, won this mirror, beating FSU in a final match 260-60. He had one loss, to USF, and FSU ended up with two, both to Dallin. He was top scorer, with David Flowers of FSU second, and Patrice Newkirk of UCF third. I'm sure Ahmad will have the fully skinny soon.

Hello,

After a rousing round robin both Chipola soloed by Dallin and FSU, who utilized the quaint (so, quaint) practice of using aliases finished 9-1, after a one game final Dallin beat FSU 260-60. The top three scorers were as Chris mentioned, Dallin, David Flowers (also known as John Terry, PSYCH!) finished second and Patrice Newkirk was third.

STATS!
