&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;2008 Chicago Open&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was won by Refugees From Junior Nationals, consisting of [[Jonathan Magin]], [[Eric Mukherjee]], [[Matt Weiner]], and [[Jerry Vinokurov]] over The Tournament Beings, consisting of [[Andrew Yaphe]], [[Seth Teitler]], [[Mike Sorice]], and [[Selene Koo]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tournament results==&lt;br /&gt;
The tournament had a record number of teams participating (17), necessitating a 16-game round robin followed by an advantaged final.  In the end, the 16-0 Refugees faced off against the 15-1 Tournament Beings in an epic final, with the former winning 255-190 on what was regarded as one of the hardest legit packets ever written (featuring tossups on William Empson, the Free Officers Movement, and the DLVO theory of colloids).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tournament itself was hailed as one of the greatest quizbowl experiences ever by most of its participants, as it had the perfect storm of excellent questions and near-perfect logistics.  Another notable thing about the tournament was the amazing number of young talent present - an estimated 32 of the 64 participants were under the age of 20, while the winning team featured two undergraduate members. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Individual results==&lt;br /&gt;
The top five scorers at the tournament were [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Andrew Yaphe]], [[Matt Lafer]], [[Jonathan Magin]], and [[Susan Ferrari]].  Brendan&amp;#039;s field-leading total was 64.69 points per game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leading scorer for the championship team was [[Jonathan Magin]], who finished fourth overall with 41.33 points per game.  The team featured a balanced scoring distribution, with [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Eric Mukherjee]] each putting up 34.33 ppg in a tie for sixth place, and with [[Jerry Vinokurov]]&amp;#039;s 27.67 ppg earning him a solid fifteenth.  During the day, Weiner, Magin, and Mukherjee would often rotate between fourth, fifth, and sixth places in the standings, with Vinokurov slowly crawling upwards, beginning in the bottom 1/3rd of the standings and ending up much nearer to the top.&lt;br /&gt;
