Re: COTKU 2001 Results (also Big Lots)

For the record: it was not my decision to leave
the trash tournament; though I didn't exactly want to
be there in the first place--I'm not a trash player
and I would have preferred to leave Saturday evening,
I had a football game to watch Sunday afternoon. In
fairness to my teammates, when they decided to play in the
Big Lots, I believe that they thought it would be
something similar to the only other trash tournament they
had ever played in: a quick round robin that starts
early in the morning after a tournament and ends by
early afternoon. This is partially my fault because I
should have pointed out that it was my experience that
Charlie starts all of his tournaments unusually late in
the day. Regardless, we still returned to Tallahassee
later than planned. If they had realized the way it was
scheduled, I do not believe that they would have planned on
participating. Chris is not without a point, it was unfair to
the other teams, but my teammates honestly did not
realize that the tournament would go later than 2 or so.
It probably didn't help that they've never played
against real trash players before and that we were still
generally upset about the previous day's questions (which
weren't Charlie's fault let me reiterate). Nevertheless,
scheduling really was the primary issue.
