Carnegie Mellon held E-Bowl A, a modified ACF
tournament written by Eric Steinhauser, on Saturday, October
6. Complete statistics are available on-line at
<a href=http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/org/college-bowl/ebowl/stats.html target=new>http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/org/college-bowl/ebowl/stats.html</a> .

A total of eleven teams participated in
the first E-Bowl A tournament held at Carnegie
Mellon: one house team, three teams from neighboring
Pitt, two teams from the University of North Carolina,
and one team from each of Michigan, Kentucky,
Delaware, Case Western Reserve, and the George Washington
University. These teams played in a round-robin format of ten
matches plus one bye. After ten matches, there was a
three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard: one Pitt team,
Michigan, and Kentucky were knotted at 9-1, with won-loss
records that cancelled each other out. To resolve this
situation, we went to comparative won-loss records: here,
Kentucky and Pitt were tied atop the standings. A one-game
final was played between the two teams. Kentucky won,
415-120, to capture the title and the glamorous grand
prize: a set of Carnegie Mellon Pilsner
glasses.

Congratulations to Kentucky, our 2001 E-Bowl A champion team, and
our top scorers: Matt from Pitt (89 PPG), Roger from
Delaware (68 PPG) and Edmund from GWU (60 PPG). Roger also
took home the top neg-5 award, with 16 incorrect
interrupts.

Complete statistics for E-Bowl A were collected and
published in record time by Livestat, a new statistics
package written by club secretary Jason Weill. Written
entirely in Perl, Livestat utilizes a flat
sequential-access database to store individual results and sort
them as appropriate. The statistics are generated as
HTML files, sent to our web server, and published in
one step. We hope to make scripts available soon to
interested parties. Please send all questions or comments
about Livestat to livestat_at_... .

Carnegie
Mellon College Bowl would like to express its most
sincere thanks to all the teams for coming, and all of
the club members who helped the tournament to run as
smoothly as possible. We look forward to seeing you all
again at CMU next February, for NAQT
Sectionals.
