Yes, I realize that everyone who would care will be off playing at their own SCT and will be unlikely to make use of the real-time nature of this, but never the less, if you're interested...

People who happen to be on the other side of the world this semester greatly appreciate the real-time updates. Now, if only other SCTs could do that...

Kelly "Turndot" earns early prize for best misspelling?

[cdbarker]

Any spelling errors on players names are unintentional and embarrassing. The difficulty in reading the handwriting on the scoresheets does not always make it easy to be sure what you're reading. I do apologize for any mistakes that were made.

[Rothlover]

I don't think anyone actually upset over spelling errors, though I could be wrong. They are just funny when they happen.

The stats are final. Congratulations to Chicago A (in Division I) and Chicago D (undefeated in Division II) for winning the 2007 NAQT Midwest Sectional Championship Tournament. A thanks to Andrew Yaphe, Matt Lafer, Mike Burger, Kevin Olmstead, Deskin Miller, Alex Grandstaff, Andy Kravis, Adam Kemezis, and Derek for staffing and to all of the teams who came. If you have questions regarding the tournament, please contact Will Turner at the address listed above. Thank you, and good night.
