Big Lots Clearance Open 2002: results & stats

Hats off to Remy Zero Mostel (James Quintong, Joseph Dion, Stacey 
Helton, and Phil Groce), winners of the 2002 Big Lots Clearance Open. 
 I Just Thought I'd See What You Jedi Were Up To (U. of Georgia) was 
second; Emory, Formerly Duke Phillips' House of Chicken and Waffles 
was 3rd. 

I want to point out a statistical oddity I'm really happy about:
every single player in attendance got at least one tossup.  YAY!

Thanks go first and foremost to Jeremy White and Ben Lea, progenitors 
of Missouri-Rolla's  FOGHAT tournament, for letting us mirror them.  
Thanks also to house readers Stephen Taylor, Toby Walter, and Kim 
Jones, and of course UTC's stats goddess, Dorothy Morisch.  Also, 
thanks to Stephen Bahnaman and Jake Armstrong for running an
all-'90's music game; I leave it to them to post the details.

Here are team results:

BRAGGING RIGHTS
For the uninitiated, UTC created a new stat, Bragging Rights, to
honor the only person at a given tournament to answer a particular 
tossup.  With a small field and the subjective nature of a trash 
tournament, we had LOTS of bragging rights at Big Lots.  Hats off to 
the following:
