Congratulations to Deus Ex Machine Gun (Megan Clancy, Chris Hendry, Michael Kearney, Al Przygocki), winners of the Summer Camp open trash tournament at UTC on 6/25/06. Deus Ex Machine Gun ran the table in the round robin and thus avoided a playoff. La Sainte Ailleurs (Joseph Dion, Seth Kendall, John Kilby, and Jacob Vannucci, with relief pitching from Timothy Dion) finished second, while third went to Jim Jones' Electric Flavor-Ade Acid Test (Trevor Locke, Robin Richards, Dren Rollins.) A tip of the hat goes to Robin Richards, who came the closest to figuring out the theme for my packet. (Want to know more? Packets are for sale for just $10 per set, or for trade for your own past tournament set, or for a blind round for Muck Masters, or for a blind round of high school questions for our fall tournament. If you're interested, e-mail me at steinhic at bellsouth dot net.) Special thanks to Ruth Jackson, the only other house official for the day, who thus shared stats and reader duty. Thanks also to freelance packet contributors Anthony Bush, Brian Weikle, the Maryland team (Brittany Clark, Mike Bentley, Jonathan Magin, John Kubicek and Casey Retterer), and my old teammates from Tennessee (Carol Guthrie, Bronson Messer, and Scotti Whitmire). Further thanks to Jay Turetzky and Dwight Wynne of UCLA and the aforementioned Brian Weikle for editing assistance. And thanls to all teams for providing bye round readers, and for enduring a UTC first -- someone was cleaning out the biology lab, and from the powerful aroma, we're guessing they had been performing lab experiments in germ warfare. Also, Paul McCord and Travis Lightsey were kind enough to provide a music round, won in a nailbiter by John Kilby over Chris Hendry. The tournament was a simple round robin. Team results were: Team Name Win-Loss Points Opp Pts Diff/GM Deus ex Machine Gun (Hendry et al.) 8 - 0 2940 960 247.50 La Sainte Ailleurs (UTC et al.) 7 - 1 2690 1335 169.38 Jim Jones' Electric Flavor-ade Acid Test 6 - 2 2040 1440 75.00 Slouching Towards Benihana (USF) 4 - 4 2205 1480 90.63 ;~4 (Madison Central Alums) 3 - 5 1265 1910 -80.63 A .357 with a Bayonet (J.

MVP Joe Grimes also won the John Drennen Wiley Rollins Award for Outstanding Achievement in Buzzer Aggression -- no small feat, as Dren was actually playing and finished a close second in scoring. Most Gloriously Wrong Answer went to Travis Lightsey (wrong answer: Jay's nicknames for Silent Bob; right answer: Sawyer from "Lost".) We had numerous bragging rights and speed buzzes, but Al Przygocki was recognized for a combo, getting Stringfellow Hawke on a speed buzz when it went unanswered in all other rooms.
