Fittingly enough, 11 teams converged on Iowa City last weekend for the sixth installment of This Tournament Goes to Eleven. 32 Packets were played over 16 rounds in 2 days, and there were very few bumps in the road. After--what else--eleven rounds of play on Saturday, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign lead the pack with 108 points, followed by DePauw with 73. Minnesota, Carleton, Michigan State, Northwestern, and Iowa State all scored between 48-64 points; Truman State, Grinnell, Drake, and Oklahoma University rounded out the group. On Sunday, DePauw put up some amazing numbers to make a storied comeback, ending up with 106 points--just 6 points shy of Illinois tournament-winning 112. In third place was Minnesota (86), followed by Michigan State (78), Carleton (73), Northwestern (70), Iowa State (69), Truman State (50), Grinnell (30), Drake (8), and Oklahoma University (5). Congratulations UIUC! In addition to winning the team competition, UIUC's Mike Sorice won the singles competition, followed by UIAQC alum (playing with Minnesota) Aaron Twait, and St. Thomas' Paul Drube. Hopefully, a good time was had by all and even more teams will come next year. ++Andrew Juhl
