Congratulations to Georgetown College and Vanderbilt, winners respectively of the main and senior divisions of Sword Bowl 2007, held at UT-Chattanooga on Sat. 1/27/07. Full results and stats follow, but first these words... The Sword Bowl set only came together thanks to many contributors. Special thanks go to the folks at Oklahoma. Jeremy Hixson, Emily Duda, and Jessica Sagona provided about 1/4 of the questions -- almost as much as the actual Sword Bowl teams combined -- and provided substantial and valuable editing assistance. Quentin Roper, Stephen Wise, et al. at Drake also contributed multiple rounds. Jonathan Magin and Casey Retterer of Maryland were also kind enough to swap three of their Terrapin Invitational rounds with us. Thanks go to freelance contributors Carol Guthrie and Scotti Whitmire (Tennessee), Travis Vitello (Florida), Ray Luo et al. (joint effort from UCLA and Cal-Berkeley), and Jeremy Rasmussen et al. (South Florida). (Which reminds me: the Sword Bowl set is available for sale or trade - - e-mail us at utcquizbowl [at] gmail [dot] com.) Thanks also go to our tournament staff: full-time moderators David Amis, Glenn Allen Bobo, John Kilby, Eileen Steinhice, Toni Van Winkle, and James Washick; the stats tag-team of Nikki Poarch, Ruth Jackson, and Eileen Steinhice; and pinch-hit helpers Mark Byrnes, Shannon Edmondson, Dren Rollins, and guest readers from the Senior Division bye teams. Also, welcome to Knoxville College and Ole Miss, each making their first appearance at a UTC tournament.
