Congratulations again to Georgia Tech, winners of Swod Bowl 2005, UTC's seventh annual "junior bird" tournament. Full results and stats follow, as well as the tournament's best gloriously wrong answers, but first: GRATITUDE Thanks to Nikki Poarch and Eileen Steinhice for tag-teaming stats, and to house readers Markus Iturriaga, Scotti Whitmire, David Moore, John Kilby, Stephen Webb, Gavin Mead, Shae Williams, Glenn Allen Bobo, and Dren Rollins. Big thanks to Samer Ismail and the Penn Bowl contributors for trading questions, and to Williams College, South Florida, and Eric Floyd for vital freelance submissions. GRATUITOUS PLUG Sword Bowl packets are for sale for $15 per set. E-mail me at steinhic [at] bellsouth [dot] net if interested. Those who were at Penn Bowl, or who are planning to purchase Penn Bowl sets, should know that there is a fair amount of overlap between Penn and Sword questions, although many of the Penn Bowl originals were edited to be more appropriate for the junior bird level. TEAM RESULTS Some extra players from two schools formed a Div. II Ronin team to fill the schedule void left by a last-minute cancellation. Team results at the end of the round robin were: Team Win Loss Points Opp Pts Diff/GM Georgia Tech 9 - 1 2865 1435 143.00 Tennessee 7 - 3 2285 1680 60.50 Northwest-Shoals CC 7 - 3 2285 1555 73.00 Florida A 7 - 3 2100 1585 51.50 Florida State 7 - 3 2265 1420 84.50 Florida B 6 - 4 2045 1690 35.50 Athens State 4 - 6 1995 1620 37.50 Bevill State 3 - 7 1540 2005 -46.50 Div II Ronin 3 - 7 1495 1710 -21.50 UTC 2 - 8 905 2300 -139.50 Macon State 0 - 10 130 2910 -278.00 By virtue of a two-game lead over the field, Georgia Tech won first place outright without a playoff. That left us four teams tied for the remaining three trophies in a four-way quadrilateral of death. We had to resolve the tie for top seeding by total points AND head-to- head (of the four teams, Tennessee and NW Shoals had EXACTLY the same total points, so it reverted to head-to-head between those.) Anyway, we held a full playoff for the remaining trophy positions. 2nd place: Tennessee (def. Florida A 250-195; def. NW Shoals 285-105) 3rd place: NW Shoals (def. Florida State 225-195; lost to TN) 4th place: Florida A (lost to TN; def. Florida State 130-70) INDIVIDUAL RESULTS Robert Scott Georgia Tech 65 14 580 10 58.00 Chris Pace Northwest-Shoals CC 50 14 430 10 43.00 Steve Florida A 34 1 335 10 33.50 Evan Florida State 38 11 325 10 32.50 Jaclyn Hogan Bevill State 33 3 315 10 31.50 William Lindblad Div II Ronin 36 9 315 10 31.50 Travis Florida B 24 4 220 7 31.43 Andrew James Athens State 32 4 300 10 30.00 Billy Beyer Florida State 34 9 295 10 29.50 Sarah Florida B 27 3 255 9 28.33 Eric Florida A 27 1 265 10 26.50 Kivin Childers Athens State 32 12 260 10 26.00 Donnie Allex Georgia Tech 26 3 245 10 24.50 Andy Whaley Tennessee 23 2 220 10 22.00 Harold Gonzales Tennessee 23 4 210 10 21.00 Jacob Vannucci UTC 24 7 205 10 20.50 Brandon Sykes Northwest-Shoals CC 24 10 190 10 19.00 Joe Tennessee 23 11 175 10 17.50 Jim Cook Bevill State 17 0 170 10 17.00 Clark Florida A 20 8 160 10 16.00 Ryan Langan Bevill State 18 5 155 10 15.50 Gary Florida B 17 7 135 9 15.00 Phil Tennessee 16 3 145 10 14.50 Jason Florida B 13 3 115 8 14.38 David Buckey Florida State 14 1 135 10 13.50 Nikki Poarch UTC 14 1 135 10 13.50 Suyog Ben Div II Ronin 17 8 130 10 13.00 Eric Fox UTC 9 3 75 6 12.50 Nicholas Bendler Georgia Tech 13 3 115 10 11.50 Will McAlister Div II Ronin 9 2 80 7 11.43 Rivers Athens State 13 4 110 10 11.00 Kelli Florida B 11 7 75 8 9.37 Sergio Florida A 11 6 80 10 8.00 Joseph Overstreet Athens State 4 0 40 5 8.00 Ehren Bendler Georgia Tech 8 4 60 10 6.00 Vida Moultrie Macon State 8 6 50 9 5.56 Josh Clanton Northwest-Shoals CC 9 8 50 10 5.00 Brett Macon State 6 5 35 10 3.50 Matthew Jarnigan Northwest-Shoals CC 3 1 25 9 2.78 Daniel McHan Athens State 2 2 10 5 2.00 Kristen Scheel Florida State 1 0 10 6 1.67 Devin Gilbert Bevill State 2 2 10 9 1.11 Na'lmah Macon State 1 3 -5 10 -0.50 GLORIOUSLY WRONG ANSWERS We had some beauties, and they all made sense at the time (either as early buzzes, or as guesses on the 30 pt. clue of a 30-20-10): Wrong: Dracula Right: Tom Sawyer Wrong: William Shatner Right: Henry David Thoreau Wrong: Enya Right: Kelis Wrong: Colden Haulfield Right: Holden Caulfield Wrong: Ralph Nader Right: Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. But the winner of the Most Gloriously Wrong Answer Award was Chris Pace of Northwest Shoals, the tournament's #2 scorer, with two gems: Wrong: the Running of the Bulls Right: the Hajj and Wrong: The Passion of the Christ Right: Wild Wild West
