CU Trivia Bowl 2003 / TRASH Rocky Mountain Regional Results

Boulder, Colorado, November 15-16 2003

The University of Colorado Trivia Bowl & Testing Recall About Strange 
Happenings Rocky Mountain Regional Summary Results.  This event was 
produced by the CU Circle K International Club and the Kiwanis Club 
of Boulder as a fundraiser for child safety programs that provide 
child safety car seats to families in need in the Boulder and 
surrounding area, with $525 raised.

On Saturday, November 15th three group round-robin tournaments were 
held at different times of the day.  Campus division teams were 
composed entirely of full time University of Colorado or other area 
University students, while open division teams could have any 
composition.  Campus teams and Open teams were mixed in group play, 
with the best open team and the best campus team from each Group 
advancing to a single elimination tournament segregated by division, 
along with one campus and open group

members of the CU Circle K Club and Kiwanis Club of Boulder when the

A single elimination tournament was held on Saturday, November 16th 
to determine the winner of each division.  The results of the Campus 
Division:

#2 seed Weapons of Mass Destruction defeated #3 seed VJ Cornucopia's 
Fantastic Foodmagorium & Great American Steakery in semifinal #1 135-
75

#1 seed The Duffmen defeated wildcard Coprolites Happened 150-50 in 
semifinal #2, and the Duffmen went on to win the final over Weapons 
of Mass Destruction 185-85.

There was some discussion about how to determine the wildcard team in 
the open division due to the imbalanced group play, so it was decided 
to have special playoff game to determine the wildcard spot, where J 
is for Genius defeated The Knights of Bea Arthur's Court 255-145.

#2 seed Fantastic PHOR defeated #3 seed Cordillera Turn Down Service 
in semifinal #1 270-95.

#1 seed The Loose Bobbleheads defeated wildcard J is for Genius 245-
80, and went on to win the open final over Phantastic PHOR 270-25.

The Grand Final pitted the best campus team, the Duffmen, against the 
best open team, The Loose Bobbleheads in a double length (40 
question) match.  The Loose Bobbleheads prevailed by a score of 475-
195, but of note was the fact that while this was a double length 
game, the campus team, the Duffmen led at "halftime", in this case 
the entire length of a standard T.R.A.S.H. match, by a score of 155-
95, which was conducted on the questions corresponding to round 15.  
However, the Duffmen were only able to manage an additional 40 points 
over the second half, corresponding to round 16, while the Loose 
Bobbleheads scored 360 in a victorious comeback.
