Hello! 23 teams came to Wash U in St. Louis this morning for GIT VIII. Little did we know, we ended up with a set of questions from NAQT that 7 teams had already heard at a previous tournament. Thus, first, I would like to thank all the teams for their patience while we worked to find a solution as well as Eric Hillemann and Craig Barker from NAQT who were able to help us get a solution. Once game play commenced, everything ran very well. In Division I, UIUC A ended the full round-robin with an 8-0 record for first place. Second place was DePauw A with a 6-2 record. In Division 2, we broke the 14 teams into two brackets of 7, did a full round-robin and then some power matching. After this, UIUC B was 9-0 and Kansas A was 8-1. We then began a best two-of-three final with Illinois having a one game advantage. Illinois won the first game 495-130 and thus the championship. I would like to thank all the members of WUAT who gave up their Saturday to help out. I would especially like to thank Paul Nelson from Rolla, Brian Ulrich from Wisconsin(by the way, your school left without paying...please email me and I'll give you an address to mail the check to), and Mike from Henderson State. We really appreciate you reading and helping us out! Full stats and standings will follow shortly...I need some sleep now! I look forward to hearing comments from people about the GIT. Joel Gluskin WUAT President/WUHSAC Director
