Moon Pie Classic: results, stats, gratitude

Full results for the 2007 Moon Pie Classic are below.  
Congratulations to Virginia Tech A, which defeated Kentucky in a 
playoff for the Division I championship, and Georgia B, which won 
Division II.  In Division I, Florida State took 3rd and UTC A was 
4th.  In Division II, Georgia B was 2nd, Louisville was 3rd, and 
Virginia Tech C defeated both Shorter and UTC B in a three-way 
playoff for fourth.  Hats off also to an open team from Valencia for 
posting the day's best record in Division I.

It was almost poetic that Virginia Tech won, a positive note after 
the most trying month in the school's history.  This was only the 
second UTC-hosted tournament won by Virginia Tech; their only 
previous win was at COTKU 1998, the first intercollegiate tournament 
UTC held.  Ironically, in both instances, VaTech won by a narrow 
playoff victory over a Kentucky team with Seth Kendall.  Georgia B's 
win was the first junior division win for UGA at a UTC event, and 
their only win here other than NAQT Sectionals in 2000.

Thanks to our reader corps: David Amis, Shannon Edmondson, John 
Kilby, Dave Leach, David Moore, Chuck Pearson, Nikki Poarch, Toni Van 
Winkle, and anyone I may have left out; special thanks to Nikki for 
handling stats and logistics.  Thanks for the questions to: David 
Moore, in his first tour of duty as editor-in-chief; Oklahoma, for 
major writing and assistance with proofing; Boston U., St. Olaf, and 
Ray Luo et al. for their packet contributions; and USC, for sharing 
questions from Ghetto Warz.  

Also, hats off to William and Mary (which had to cancel) and Shorter 
College, the two teams that sent packets by the first deadline.
