Sword Bowl 2006: results, stats, gratitude

Congratulations to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, winners of 
the main (junior bird) division of Sword Bowl 2006.  Congratulations 
also to Vanderbilt A, winners of the first-ever senior division for 
Sword Bowl. Full results and stats are below, but first some thanks 
are in order.

Thanks go to the outstanding officiating crew: Stephen Taylor, 
Scotti Whitmire, Markus Iturriaga, Wes Eddings, Tom Michael, James 
Quintong, Dren Rollins, Joseph Dion and his daughter Ariel, Brad 
Daviet, Chuck Pearson, Wade Carpenter, and Eileen Steinhice.  Thanks 
to UTC's Ruth Jackson, Nikki Poarch, and Shannon Moore for their 
versatility, pitching in on stats & logistics as well as moderating, 
and to the rest of the UTC team for handling buzzer setup and 
breakdown.  Thanks to the bye team readers who were so willing to 
pitch in during their bye rounds.  And thanks to Penn, Oklahoma, & 
Drake for their respective contributions to the question pool.

Packets are available for sale or trade, for $15 per set.  Contact 
me at steinhic [at] bellsouth [dot] net if interested.

Now, those results:

 In the main division (noted as II below to avoid confusion), teams 
were separated into two brackets for a seven-round round robin, then 
reseeded into an upper and lower bracket for four more rounds, with 
the upper division competing for the title.  We had a tie for first, 
leading to a playoff round in which Rose-Hulman defeated Georgetown 
College 235-165.

In the senior division, Vanderbilt A ran the table and thus won 
outright without a playoff.  By virtue of head-to-head win v. 
Florida State A, Georgia Tech A took 3rd and thus got a trophy 
roughly one inch taller.  (If there hadn't been a 4th place trophy 
we'd have had a playoff, of course.)
