I also thought that ISU did a good job running their tournament; the 
questions were well-written and well-edited, although I did find many 
of the bonus parts to be long.  Also, while this was more the 
exception rather than the rule, some of the moderators were almost 
completely unintelligible at times.  Other than that, I thought the 
tournament was run very effectively and as quickly as possible.

When I talked to Matt Cvijanovich about the questions, he told me 
that they were edited to the easiest level possible, which I agreed 
with (I wasn't sure they could be much easier, as a matter of fact).  
But all of our novices had fun and were challenged, they said, which 
I am definitely happy to hear.

All in all, some nice work from the Ames crew.  Good work, folks.
