The 1999 Penn State University
Nittany Lion Invitational was run on Saturday, October
23rd. Congratulations to University of Pennsylvania "A"
who went 11-1 (9-1 among non-masters teams) in
convincing fashion. We are, however, not declaring this team
to be the champions of the tournament due to
significant and result-damaging plagiarism of their submitted
packet.

This disturbs me ... and the lack of details or
response is puzzling. Was this a simple mistake (oops, I
grabbed the wrong file) or intentional. If the latter,
some censure might be in order. Invitational quizbowl
requires clean packets, otherwise we turn into CBI.
Standards and enforcement are necessary to preserve the
integrity of the game.
