The moderators, who spent their valuable time helping me run this tournament: Mike Sorice, Dom Ricci, Andrew Yaphe, Ed Deguzman, Tom Phillips, Steven Canning, Andrew Ullsperger Stan Jastrzebski, Les from Cincinnati, Bob from Eureka, and Matt from Bradley. The scorekeepers: Anne Shivers, Micah Rumsey, Kelly Tourdot, Mark, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, and all of the teams whose players helped out during their byes. Our treasurer, Tom Phillips, who took care of all of the financial stuff, invoices, and money collection for the team. Our president, Scott Green, who got an extra prize for us to give away and obtained extra buzzer systems for us at the last minute. All the teams, who put up with the fact that we were understaffed like mad and didn't complain about the delays. There were some miscommunication issues with one of the moderators, who left for part of the tournament in order to visit a family member, leaving us a bit short on staff briefly. But overall, everything turned out all right, and I hope you guys had a good time. Thanks again to everyone, and to NAQT for supplying the questions. I hope we'll be able to discuss the set fairly soon. --Sudheer Potru Co-TD, NAQT Midwest SCT 2006
