Congratulations to these teams and all the competing teams for
their outstanding performance this weekend. The Final
Four teams earn automatic bids to the PACE NSC 2001
tournament, tentatively scheduled for the weekend of June
15-17 at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. More
information on the tournament will 

More complete
results and statistics will be made available at a later
time. A copy of the program booklet can be viewed at
<a href=http://www.cwru.edu/orgs/trivia/pace/program2k.pdf target=new>http://www.cwru.edu/orgs/trivia/pace/program2k.pdf</a> . Items will be updated on the PACE web site on a
piecemeal basis.

In addition to those who helped
supply questions for the tournament, I can't thank the
people who volunteered to staff the tournament this
weekend enough. You all really helped make this
tournament memorable and much easier for Dave and me to run,
and it would not have been a success without your
professionalism, enthusiasm, and support. Thanks for your patience
in putting up with David and me through the weekend,
and I hope that you'll be able to make it to make
next year's competition at BGSU even better.

I
want to acknowledge special contributions

P.S.
1. Each team and each staff member will receive an
electronic copy of the questions used this weekend, as soon
as I have a chance (grant due June 15 that I've
woefully fallen behind with writing and shuffling the
right paperwork for).

2. Opinions regarding the
tournament or PACE should be sent by email to me
<etc_at_...>. Noting again that I have a grant due, please keep
your remarks as succinct as possible. :)

3. I
have to recheck my notes, but the Most Humorous Answer
award (post hoc) goes to "G.I. Jane" when the answer
desired was "Anne (Shirley) of Green Gables". This answer
was supplied IIRC by Ben Neale of the Governor's
School for Government, an incoming freshman at the
University of Chicago.

The text of the question will
be available on request (again... seeing notes on my
grant-writing above).
