Congratulations to Hootie and the Blowfisher Stevens (Joseph Dion, Tom Michael, James Quintong, Gerry Tansey), winners of the 2005 Big Lots Clearance Open trash tournament at UTC on 10/23/05. Full results and stats follow, but first a little gratitude adjustment... First and foremost, thanks and heaps of praise to Jeremy White and Ben Lea and their collaborators (Brian Hight, Mark Richey, and special guest author James Quintong) for allowing us to mirror FOGHAT, consistently as entertaining a trash tournament as there is in existence. Special thanks to Nikki Poarch for double duty as stats demigoddess and reader; thanks also to our other house officials, Eileen Steinhice, Ruth Jackson, and Rachel Moore, and to standby officials Tom Michael and Steve Taylor. TEAM RESULTS By unanimous agreement at the pre-tournament meeting, we held a full round robin with playoffs only as needed to break a tie, which as it turned out we didn't.
