Thirteen teams competed at Berkeley's 10th annual Western Invitational Tournament, "WIT X: Free Yard Tips". They included 5 Berkeley teams, 4 Stanford teams, University of Chicago, Texas A&M, UCLA, and a hybrid team of Jordan Katine (IBM), Lindsay Jones (UCSC), Sean Cole (Sacramento government building), and Lev Osherovich (UCSF). It is to be noted in deciphering the stats that Joon played for Stanford Suzy and Suzy did not play; the file witteam.html contains a team abbreviation-team name dictionary. The teams played a round robin on packs they submitted along with some from a packet swap with Iowa State. Team records and round by round stats are available at http://lagaffe.cs.berkeley.edu/quiz-bowl/events/wit/wit10/witteam.html and http://lagaffe.cs.berkeley.edu/quiz-bowl/events/wit/wit10/witrbr.html At the end, Berkeley Seth was undefeated, and Texas A&M had one loss to Berkeley. They played a best of three final with a one game advantage to Berkeley, and Berkeley won, 530-120. Congratulations to Seth Teitler, Jeff Hoppes, and Larissa Kelly, who took home some thrilling used books from Moe's Books. The top 10 scorers were Gaius Stern (who took a break from stats in round 6 to earn six tossups for Berkeley Brendan), Jeff Hoppes (Berkeley You Don't...), Yuri Kapustovich Vinokurov (Berkeley Yuri), Paul Lujan (Berkeley Paul), Seth Teitler (Berkeley You Don't...), Joon Pahk (Stanford Suzy), Peter Onyisi (Chicago), Raj Bhan (Stanford Joon), Pat Friel (UCLA), and newcomer Brendan Shapiro (Berkeley Brendan). Congratulations to them as well. Full individual stats are posted at lagaffe.cs.berkeley.edu/quiz-bowl/events/wit/wit10/witindiv.html Thanks to all the teams that came, as well as Iowa State and Charlie Steinhice for swapping questions.
