For finishing as the tournament's top team, Harvard received a prize package 
supplied by MTVU, including a sampler CD and some old Doritos.  For 
exhibiting "Mad Genius" by finishing with the best bonus conversion, they 
recieved "Mad Genius: The Untold Story of the Unabomber" as well as "The 
Bell Curve."  Brandeis earned several politically-themed books, including one 
by Lyndon LaRouche and "Ross Perot: In His Own Words" written by Harry 
Chiu.  Top individual players earned such goodies as PS1 games, Tom 
Lehrer CDs, Enrique Iglesias cologne samples, and one particularly lucky 
QBer earned "Spider-man, Storm, and Cage Battle Smokescreen!", a joint 
venture of Marvel and the American Cancer Society.

Thanks to Mike Hoey-Lukakis for his generous donation of a large selection of  
prizes, as well as to Mike, Steve Watchorn, and Mark and Sarah Coen for 
giving up their Saturday so that we could have high-quality moderators.  We 
would also like to thank Mike Sorice, as well as the other editors of the 
question set and all of those who submitted questions for the tournament.

We'll see some of you next weekend for TRASH regionals (11/12) and ACF 
Fall (11/13).

Thanks.
Nathan Bragg
