Hi again -- This tournament could not have been pulled off today without the help of MANY MANY good people. So I hope I cover everyone; if not, I apologize. Here goes: -The moderators and scorekeepers: Tim Young, Jon So, Bill Tressler, Dennis Loo, Charbel Barakat, Jason Dettelbach, Rob Hershey, John Nam, Rick Grimes, Dwight Kidder, Kevin Philpy, Mike DeSantis, Brick Barrientos, Kim Nies, Cyndi Pruss, Phil Castagna, Fong Hsu, Matt Kiefer, Jason Arvey, Arthur Fleming, Lee Aarons, Charles Rodowsky, Farhan Adil, Jason Schwalm, and my brother Alex. All of you did excellent jobs, as the tournament rounds themselves ran perfectly on time. Brian U, get better soon; Doug O, may your car get better soon. -Lee for going to the JHU Bookstore and getting the prizes. -Charbel and Dave Pai for securing the donuts, juice, and folders for this morning. Also Charbel for taking the Swarthmore folks back to the bus station after the tournament. -Fong for ordering the pizzas for the moderators, and then taking Kevin and driving to pick them up. -Michelle Cantave and Amanda Owens, our Statmeistresses, for undertaking one of the most difficult tournament jobs and performing well at it. -Mike for handling registration, and Amanda again for tackling invoices and the restaurant lists. (she deserves double thanks for the work she did at this tournament) -Jon for keeping the Division I bracket well under control. -Dwight for helping me with the moderators' meeting, and for being our general NAQT "Tommy Hagen" for the day. -NAQT in general for providing plenty of clocks. (Now if we had only had enough working buzzers... :P) Now for a couple announcements: -Virginia and Princeton both left buzzers (I believe Virginia may have taken Pitt's buzzer by mistake). Princeton, do you want us to keep you buzzer or toss it out (is it beyond repair)? -Chris from Virginia, Dave from Rutgers, Peter and Ascension from Swarthmore are all owed prizes, which are in my possession. Please contact me if you want them anytime soon... -Shaun Hayeslip was looking for his cell phone, so if someone stumbled upon it, he'd like to know... Well, it was tiring but fun. Hope the other Sectionals went well... Adam Fine Tournament Director
