SNEWT VIII Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I'd like to thank all the teams that showed up for
both their excellent play and their patience (and willingness to keep
playing on empty stomachs) when waiting for what seemed like Zeno's
lunch... and a special acknowledgement to the new Penn State team, who
did quite well for themselves in their first tournament ever.

Of course, a thank you to all the people who came to help moderate; to
all my teamates that helped me run this tournament, especially to
Michael Noda, for doing stats; Alex Glick, for handling registration;
and Adam Oleksa, for dealing with all our food needs, especially a
certain nameless pizza place.

Thank you to all the teams that submitted questions; to all of my
teammates who wrote some for me; to Chris Frankel, for whipping up 3/4
of an excellent packet on very short notice; and most of all to Chris
Borglum and Matt C. for the indispensable packet swaps.  The prelim
rounds (11 in all) are now avaliable for trade; they do contain about
3 packets worth of Delta Burke material (and 1/3 of a packet of ISU
Fall) mixed and matched to suit our needs.  The playoff rounds, which
consisted of ISU Fall material with repeats and especially difficult
boni removed, are not avaliable from me.

For some reason, SNEWT seems to have become one of the largest
tournaments around, and although it is fun to have a large field, it
is a lot of work; we had 41 teams combined at Swarthmore that weekend;
a number that I don't think will broken for a long, long time...
