Congratulations again to South Carolina, winners of Sword Bowl 2002. Here's the full story on team results. We had a full round robin for the 13-team field, after which there would be playoffs only if necessary to break a tie for the trophy positions (top three.) Standings after the round robin: Team Win Loss Pts Opp Pts Diff/GM South Carolina 11 1 3205 1225 165.00 (def. Emory head-to-head) Emory 11 1 2925 1125 150.00 Florida B 10 2 2290 1630 55.00 Georgia Tech 9 3 2455 1605 70.83 Kentucky 7 5 1710 1680 2.50 (def. DePauw head-to-head) DePauw 7 5 2140 1665 39.58 Florida A 5 7 1395 1645 -20.83 (def. MTSU, Tennessee head-to-head) MTSU 5 7 1400 1725 -27.08 (def. Tennessee head-to-head) Tennessee 5 7 1235 1620 -32.08 Bevill State 4 8 1255 1795 -45.00 UTC 2 10 535 2545 -167.50 Morehouse 1 11 950 1905 -79.58 (def. Tennessee State head-to-head) Tenn. State 1 11 530 1860 -110.83 Florida B thus took 3rd outright. South Carolina and Emory then went into a playoff for first, with South Carolina having a one-game advantage by virtue of their head-to-head win. If Emory won the playoff round, there would have been a 20-tossup shootout to break the tie. However, South Carolina won a narrow 170-140 victory in the playoffs to avoid the shootout and win first place. Again, congratulations, and thanks to all for a great atmosphere and a very enjoyable tournament.
