In general, NAQT people have been busier with more timely things than this minor technical addendum during the past week in particular. >> This was in reply to message 8755, where I noted that since the time when Eric posted message 8549 (belatedly congratulating SFU A on having won the Undergraduate championship at the 2001 NW SCT and apologizing on behalf of NAQT for this oversight), NAQT updated its website with the 2002 SCT results, at <a href=http://www.naqt.com/Results/2002-sct-results.html target=new>http://www.naqt.com/Results/2002-sct-results.html</a> but did not update the 2001 SCT results, at <a href=http://www.naqt.com/Results/2001-sct-results.html target=new>http://www.naqt.com/Results/2001-sct-results.html</a> Since then, some time in the last couple of days, NAQT modified the 2002 results page (but again, not the 2001 results page) changing the NW UG champion from SFU A to SFU C. Why was this minor (?) technical addendum made? It's true that, as the page says, SFU C (Division II) had a 7-3 record and SFU A (Division I) had a 6-5 record, but the Division I and II fields were separated after the combined round-robin. After the Division I rounds, SFU A and Whitman A were the top Division I all-undergrad teams, both with 5-5 records, so they played a final game to decide the Undergraduate championship. SFU A won that game. It may also be relevant that after the combined-field round-robin, the top all-undergrad team was Whitman A, with a 5-2 record, followed by SFU A and C, which were both 4-3 (and SFU C beat SFU A). But SFU C did not play any more matches against Division I teams.
