After seemingly every tournament hosted by [[UT-Chattanooga]], [[Charlie Steinhice]] will make a post stating that the "disk" with the stats on it has been damaged, put in the hands of someone without Internet access, or temporarily or permanently lost, explaining the delay in the posting of statistics, which inevitably are incomplete when they are finally posted weeks or months after the tournament. Amazingly, this has afflicted TEN tournaments. One would think that Steinhice would start backing up his files to a variety of locations via the Internet, and avoid walking under any ladders due to his apparently world-class bad luck.

==Tournaments with issues==
*[[QB Mailing List|#1: Moon Pie 2000]]:
"Full results and stats will follow after (a) I get some sleep and (b) I find the diskette."
*[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quizbowl/message/5614 #2: Moon Pie 2001]:
"My apologies for the delay in posting full results; as some of you know, I left on a business trip straight from the RC Cola last Sunday night. Plus once I got home I had to find the disk."
*[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quizbowl/message/10573 #3: COTKU 2002 and #4: Big Lots 2002]:
"I have to get the disk from UTC's official stats goddess, Dorothy Morisch, but I won't be able to till I get back to Chattanooga from a trip to Chicago."
*[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quizbowl/message/12590 #5: Moon Pie 2003 and #6: RC Cola 2003]:
"For those wondering whatever happened to the Moon Pie and RC COla stats, the floppy disk they're on is fried. I'm checking with UTC stats demigod Wally Edmondson to see if they're retrievable from the hard drive of the laptop he was using; otherwise we'll have to reconstruct."
*[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quizbowl/message/14137 #7: Sword Bowl 2004]:
"Sorry for the delay -- first the disk went missing, then once I found it, the Windows issue neatly uninstalled MS Office."
*[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quizbowl/message/15607 #8: NAQT HSNCT Mirror 2005 and #9: Summer Camp Trash 2005]:
"Sorry to be so slow in posting results from our June tournaments -- I skipped town for a week-plus. Results will probably be posted tomorrow night, assuming the diskette is still where I think it is."
*[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quizbowl/message/16265 #10: Moon Pie 2006]:
"Congratulations to Florida State and Louisville, winners of (respectively) Division I and Division II at the 2006 Moon Pie (TM) Classic, held at UTC on Sat. 4/22/06. My apologies for not posting full results at this time -- we've had a disk issue and may need to reconstruct the stats."
