BASQUE 2006 was played at UC Berkeley on July 29 and 30, with various
numbers of people participating in Chicago Open, Science Monstrosity,
history singles, and trash.

In CO, Berkeley and Stanford finished the double round robin 7-1 and
6-2, respectively, setting up a final in which Berkeley defeated
Stanford 425-150 to claim the win. Full stats are at

On Sunday, two rounds of history were played, one with Modified
Prussian rules and one as singles. Jeff Hoppes easily triumphed in
both rounds to claim the King of History belt, to no one's surprise.

Finally, ten rounds of trash were played between two teams in a
never-ending struggle. The two teams split their ten matches equally,
and much enjoyment was had by all. Full stats are at
