'''Cardinal Classic XVI: Fugitive From the Stanford Police''' was a tournament held at [[UCLA]] on June 24, 2006. It was a mirror of [[ECSO]]. It is noteworthy for being the only [[Cardinal Classic]] not in anyway associated with [[Stanford]]. (Although Cardinal Classic XV took place at Berkeley due to issues with room reservations, that tournament was largely organized by Stanford). UCLA, apparently unhappy that Stanford had not held a Cardinal Classic at all during 2006 (the first time this had happened in 15 years), decided to steal the name Cardinal Classic for their own tournament. The TD for the tournament was [[Jay Turetzky]].

==The Tournament==
7 teams competed in the tournament, which consisted of an initial 6-game round robin followed by playoffs. (Anybody who was at the tournament can flesh out what the playoff format was) At the end of the playoffs, UCLA A and UCLA C were tied at 7-2. UCLA A then defeated UCLA C in a one game final (that was decided on the last tossup) to win the tournament. The top scorers were [[Dwight Wynne]] of UCLA B (95.8 PPG), [[Charles Meigs]] of UCLA C (89.2 PPG), and [[Ray Luo]] of UCLA A (76.7 PPG). Full stats for the initial round robin can be found [http://quizbowl.bol.ucla.edu/results/CMUCrimeGoat2006Results_standings.html here].

The main [[ECSO]] mirror was followed by a trash tournament that used questions from [[Charlie Steinhice]]. It consisted of a three game round robin, which was won by a team of [[Jason Luna]], [[Eok Ngo]], and [[Charles Meigs]] that went 3-0.

==Controversy==
Controversy exists whether Cardinal Classic XVI is a "true" Cardinal Classic (having never been approved by Stanford), or whether its name should be put in quotation marks or have an asterisk placed next to it. Stanford has never made a public statement regarding the legitimacy of the tournament. However, the fact that Stanford's [[Cardinal Classic XVII|2008 version of Cardinal Classic]] was given the name "Cardinal Classic XVII" by its organizers would appear to be at least a tacit acknowledgment of Cardinal Classic XVI by Stanford.
