Re: PB10 Comments

<<I do have a few complaints though. The
layout of Williams Hall is incredibly asanine. People
should not have to take an elevator to go one floor.
Before lunch on Sat., it took me 10 minutes to get from
the ground floor to the 3rd because the elevators
were slow and, upon trying to go up the stairs, I
ended up on the wrong side of the alarmed doors. Is
there no other building on Penn's campus that could
accomodate PB? Here, we're lucky to have our College of Arts
and Sciences, but surely there must be something
easier to get around in at Penn.>>

I think
that considering the alternatives (which have been the
case for Penn Bowls past), to have the entire
tournament in one building is a great benefit. The security
measures (why doors had to be kept locked, why you had to
take elevators between floors) is most likely an issue
that should be taken up not with the Penn Bowl staff
but with security or room reservations. I'm sure
there are other buildings on campus, and I'm sure we
could have spread out the tournament between different
buildings, but having teams within a division be forced to
go between buildings is a big hassle, especially if
something goes haywire.

Code numbering system for
players and teams was supposed to make it easier for the
statisticians to keep up with individual statistics. The reason
why it didn't work before the playoff meeting was
that some of the moderators still submitted
scoresheets that didn't provide the codes for each person,
not to mention some of the scoresheets didn't come in
at a timely manner.

As for questions, I
suppose we could all be given license to see the ORIGINAL
BU packet as submitted and determine why it was
summarily rejected for the first run. I think overall the
questions were better, shorter, and more informative than
many tournaments past.
