Re: NAQT Heartland (?) sectionals (at MU-Columbia)

Folks,

The NAQT Heartland Sectional was held yesterday at Mizzou.  Let me 
just say that there were a few snafus.  First, Southeast Missouri 
didn't show up, completely blowing up our Division II schedule.  
Then, Wichita State plays a grad student in Div II!  By the way, 
Wichita State, you forgot your buzzer.  Also, there were some really 
slow moderators.  As for the slow stats, I should have gotten a 
program instead of foolishly trying to put a couple of formulas in an 
Excel spreadsheet.  Anyway, I have calculated team statistics, and am 
almost done with individual stats; I've reported team stats to NAQT 
and I will make stats public soon.  As for now, my apologies for all 
the snafus that I may or may not have caused.

Jason Mueller
TD, 2003 NAQT Heartland SCT

P.S.  I'll summarize results in the next post.
