Re: Accuracy in Statkeeping

None of the
above; it's just a general plea for
accuracy.

>From my view, NAQT did a job of running a tournament
up to its usual standards. Wash U did an EXCELLENT
job of hosting. And Kentucky did quite well placing
8th. Assuming there was a mistake, perhaps writing
someone at NAQT to inquire would be a more fruitful
approach. 

I'm in agreement with you. I won't bother
to contact NAQT because the level of importance
regarding the issue is not worth anyone's time to
resolve.

>But remember this is a team game. Your team's overall
ranking was not influenced by the points that were
maliciously taken from you.

I didn't cite any intent
or malice. I'm sure no one submits erroneous records
on purpose. 

>There is no need to
criticize an organization which forfeited the right to play
so that all the others teams could
play.

Critique was not intended; I found an error and felt it
would be worth discussing, to avoid recurrences in the
future. Using the evidence on hand, namely the
scoresheets I kept for my team, and citing the largest error,
I presented what I thought would be a useful
opinion.

I appreciate the effort of any team that does not
play so as to host an excellent event.
