Penn Bowl 12: congratulations and thanks


Congratulations to the University of Michigan on winning Penn Bowl 
for the second time in three years, and to the University of 
California/Berkeley, who had gone undefeated before the finals. Also, 
congratulations to high scorers Matt Weiner of Virginia Commonwealth, 
with over 100 PPG, and Roger Craig of Delaware, with over 90.

Detailed results--and commentary--will be forthcoming over the next 
week or so.

And, now, my thanks:

* First, and most importantly, thanks to Texas A&M (Chris Romero, 
Susan Mitchell, Candace Benefiel, and Trey Morris) for being willing 
to provide hundreds of questions for the tournament, and for 
foregoing the chance to win the tournament in so doing. And, to make 
this clear--the Texas A&M team at Penn Bowl WOULD have been eligible 
to win the tournament had they not written the playoffs, and they ARE 
eligible for NAQT. 

* Second, much thanks to my longtime collaborator, Tom Chuck (Duke), 
and Penn's Brooke Newborn, for their invaluable assistance in running 
the stat room and keeping me sane.

* Last--but most emphatically not least--I would like to thank the 
following freelance moderators who gave up their time to help us out:

Dan Blim
David Bykowski
Jessie Connolly
Edward Epsen
Akiva Fox
Steve Frappier
Sarah Harriman
Mike Hoey-Lukakis
Ahmed Ismail
Augustine Kim
Alex Richman
Rebecca Rubert
Anna and Jen from Bryn Mawr
[If I forgot anyone, my sincerest apologies.]

I have much more to say over the next few days; starting with a 
couple of announcements, which I will make in a separate post.

Samer Ismail
Tournament Director, Penn Bowl 12
