I, a member of the host club (UBC), was myself wondering this (since 
I had other engagements that weekend) until I received a semi-
satisfactory answer from my club's president. Since I'm already in 
hot water with the rest of my club over other issues, I'm not going 
to answer your question, but instead call on Mike Whitaker, our 
club's president, to provide you (and any other inquisitive members 
of this group) with an answer. Some other players at the sectional 
have told me they too were displeased at there not being the minimum 
number of games played. Furthermore, some games failed to meet the 
requirement of 18 tossups read. You can see more complete statistics
