Summer tournaments at UTC 2005: full results, stats, etc.

Sorry for the delay, folks.  I've been slogging my way through stacks 
of paperwork, and I finally have the results and stats to post for 
all four of UTC's tournaments from the summer.  Also below are the 
results for Mix Masters, the biathlon for those who competed in both 
Muck Masters (trash) and Moc Masters (academic) in August.

NAQT HS NCT MIRROR (academic, 6/25/05):

Thanks again to the folks at NAQT for letting us mirror their high 
school championship.  Those questions are just about the right level 
for a no-holds-barred summer tournament.  The high school and just-
graduated-from-high-school players present acquitted themselves well 
against us old fogeys.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force wins the hard way, going into a 4-team playoff 
in 3rd place and thus having to win both a full round and a shootout 
against each of its playoff opponents.  Results after the round robin 
were:

Team Name Win Loss Points Opp Pts Diff/GM 
Emory Alums 10 - 0 4000 1545 245.50 
It's the Nuts! (Vandy) 9 - 1 3760 1900 186.00

Semifinals:
(1) Emory def. (4) KY + Campbell, 320-300
(3) Aqua Teen Hunger Force def. (2) Vandy 370-240; wins shootout 200-
40

Finals:
(3) ATHF def. (1) Emory 375-230; wins shootout 135-110

Individual stats:
    The top 10 players were recognized as All-Stars.  Special 
recognition was given to Daniel Douglas, David Bell, & Chris Bassett, 
the top 3 players from HS (or at least not-yet-college.)  
    I can't remember if we announced this as such, but the Most 
Gloriously Wrong Answer went to Kelli Barone (Wrong answer: 
Whistler's Mother.  Right answer: The Ring.)
    Note the spirited competition for the John Drennon Wiley Rollins 
Award for Outstanding Achievement in Buzzer Aggression, which went to 
Daniel Douglas with 13 negs.

SUMMER CAMP (trash, 6/26/05):
The Madness of Curious George: Nerds in Paradise was the winning 
team, leading the field and defeating Death of Marat Safin outright 
in a playoff 301-280 to avoid a shootout.

It's rare that teammates finish 1-2 for the John Drennon Wiley 
Rollins Award for Outstanding Achievement in Buzzer Aggression, but 
Macon State's Steve Taylor and Brett Norris accomplished just that at 
Summer Camp.

MUCK MASTERS (trash, 8/6/05):
Thanks again to the folks at Michigan for letting us exchange packets 
with their Burns tournament.  Thanks also to John Kilby and David 
Moore for writing the other rounds and editing the tournament, and to 
Jacob Vannucci for contributing a special guest round.  I feel like I 
should apologize for playing, but John and David really wanted me to, 
and then Wally pointed out that he'd never actually gotten to be on a 
team with me....

These results will vary slightly from what was announced.  We had one 
team leave at lunch and persuaded Dren Rollins to compete as a one-
person exhibition team.  In retrospect, since it didn't affect the 
outcome, I have exercised executive privilege and made his matches 
count after all.  

Final standings:

Team Name Bracket Win Loss Points Opp Pts Diff/GM 
Mack the Spork (UTC) 10 - 1 3881 1897 180.36 
Creedence Clearwater Revival Jolson (Lee) 9 - 2 3561 2015 140.55 
Drunken Fighting Savage Warrior Redskins (Fla) 7 - 4 2771 2617 14.00 
Outdated Commercial References (UGA) 6 - 5 3111 2306 73.18 
    (the above four teams were in upper division before reseeding)
It's a Violent Pornography (Ky) 6 - 4 1523 2316 -79.30 
exhibition -- Dren Rollins 3 - 3 1395 940 75.83 
I'm not a Smart Man ... (Bevil) 3 - 8 1742 2697 -86.82 
Sex, Drugs, and Rock the Casbah (Macon St) 3 - 8 1636 2392 -68.73 
Girls with Low Self-Esteem (BU etc) 1 - 10 1416 2841 -129.55 
Covenant Christian 0 - 3 100 1115 -338.33 

Individual stats also differ from what was announced for a couple of 
players because there were typos that gave a couple of players nine 
extra negs.  One of them, Steve Taylor, STILL tied for the most negs 
with Seth Kendall.  However, we erred in awarding Steve the John 
Drennon Wiley Rollins Award for Outstanding Achievement in Buzzer 
Aggression.  Based on the average per round, that more properly 
should be noted as going to the award's namesake, Dren Rollins.

The top speed buzz went to Carter Pelham of Covenant Christian for 
getting Halo 2 on 2 words.  (I deemed this more impressive than me 
getting the audio tossup of "Black Water" off the windchimes, 
especially since it's actually the second time I've done that.)

The most gloriously wrong answer was by... Charlie Steinhice.  Wrong 
answer: Howard the Duck.  Right answer: Antwone Fisher.

One other historic note: Mark Franklin of Outdated Commercial 
References became the first player in UTC trash tournament history to 
use an audio clip as his pseudonym, playing a mini-cassette of that 
not-Vivaldi music from the DeBeers ads.

All-Star awards were given to the top ten players.  Individual

    There was heated competition for the John Drennon Wiley Rollins 
Award for Outstanding Achievement in Buzzer Aggression., with Saurabh 
Vishnubhakat going the extra mile to rack up 15 negs and take the 
title.  
    It may or may not have been noted at the time, but the best speed 
buzz went to Jeff Zahnen for getting Steely Dan from 5 words.

MIX MASTERS 8/6/05-8/7/05
(combined results for Muck Masters and Moc Masters for those 
partaking of both)

Florida took the title, with an average winning percentage of 71% for 
the two tournaments.  Members of the Florida squad each took home 
eggbeaters, which we intend will become the ceremonial prize for this 
tournament henceforth.  Similarly, the top five overall scorers each 
received a wire whisk, with combined top scorer Seth Kendall getting 
a deluxe set of three.  (Other Mix Masters All-Stars were Snoop 
Comer, Keith Hudson, Adam Pinson, and Jeff Zahnen.)
