BRRR 2001: "We have questions?? YOU have
answers!!" was held on the campus of Cornell University and
ended at approximately 6 PM local time. Nine teams
showed up for the event and played a full round robin in
the "Call me now for your free readin'!" stage. The
top 4 teams advanced to the "STAY AWAY FROM THAT
MAN!!" Bracket while the bottom 4 advanced to the "I
keep it real." Bracket, while the Cornell frosh sat
out. However, Ursinus, which finished 2-6 in the round
robin, left before the playoffs, shrinking the lower
bracket to three teams. Pitt, with a total record of 9-2,
won the tournament on the last bonus over Case
Western Reserve. Here are the results.

The "STAY
AWAY FROM THAT MAN!!" Bracket:

1. Pitt (8-0
prelim, 1-2 playoff, 9-2 overall)
2. Case Western
(7-1, 1-2, 8-3)
3. Michigan (5-3, 2-1, 7-4, beat
Maryland B 2-0 head to head)
4. Maryland B (5-3, 2-1,
7-4)

The "I keep it real." Bracket:

5. GW (4-4,
2-0, 6-4)
6. Maryland A (4-4, 1-1, 5-5)
7. CMU
(1-7, 0-2, 1-9)

The teams that left
early:

Ursinus (2-6)
Cornell frosh
(0-8)

Unfortunately, I was unable to procure Miss Cleo related goods,
so Pitt took home a boxes of Cornell chocolates, and
Case Western received Cornell EZ-grip ballpoint pens.

Dave Hamilton was the leading scorer, and he received
a large Cornell coffee house-type mug and Matt
Weiner received a normal Cornell mug. (In fact, you
could say, in regards to the individual stats, that
Hamilton licked Weiner...)

Mark Pincus, the Cornell
frosh's answer to Nathan Freeburg, went 16-15 to win the
neg award, and Genvieve Romeo, the woman in the tiara
from Ursinus won the accuracy award, but since they
left before they could receive their prizes, Josh
Levit took home a Cornell shot glass for having the
next-most negs, and Dan Greenstein won an orange Cornell
visor for going 21-1 in the preliminary
phase.

Thanks to all who participated, to Tim Young, Dwight
Kidder, and the Cornell team for moderating and helping
out, and to Seth Teitler and (sorta) Anthony de Jesus
for providing freelance packets.

We will
probably run BRRR at around the same time next year, and
we hope to see some more teams come out. Full
individual stats to come in the next post.
