The 7th Annual Ann B. Davis Popular Culture
Tournament was held on the Central Campus of the University
of Michigan on the 20th of January, 2002. 75% Gerbil
Free featuring Greg Sorenson, James Quintong, Dwight
Kidder and Anne Mitchell defeated The Attack of the
Clones of Dr. Funkenstein featuring Jeremy White, Jason
Schwengler, Keith Hudson and Brian Hight in a thrilling final
game 266-255. The final packet featured the usual bag
of tricks, including the already legendary ?Where?s
Waldo?? tossup and lunch snack tasting.

Eighteen
teams made their way for the tournament with the squads
split into two pools of nine. After the initial round
robin, the top three teams went into the championship
pool, the middle three teams to a consolation pool and
the bottom three teams to a kiddie pool. Three
additional games were played to complete the round robin,
with the top two teams playing in a one-game,
winner-take-all final. For the other pools, the best record was
considered the winner, with The Moe Szyslak Trio Featuring
Homer (Michigan undergrads) taking the Sheraton pool
and Defending Linneaus Manhood (Chicago players)
taking the Motel 6 pool.

I would like to thank
Kevin Olmstead, Doug O?Brien, Alexis Mansfield, Zac
from Northwestern, Lindsay from Iowa State, Mark
Calaguas, Paul Litvak, Zeke Berdichevsky and Ben Heller for
reading; all of the Michigan people and all of the
non-Michigan people for helping out with various little things
throughout the day and all of the players for making this
tournament what is has become today. For those of you who
were not there, I had an extremely sore throat and I
appreciate the fact that the amount of reading I had to do
was kept to a minimum.

Mark your calendars: 19
January 2003 -- The Sloop Ann B. Davis Popular Culture
Tournament!
