To the quiz bowl community:
Speaking for myself only, I regret that the matter has escalated to
such a level. However, because I currently have heavy academic
duties to fulfill for the next 2-3 weeks, I will attempt to address
the issue more fully later.
For the meanwhile, please don't hesitate to contact me
(willchen_at_...) if you have any questions. I sincerely believe
this is a private matter between the two parties involved, but if one
party opts to open it up to the public, the other cannot fail to
respond--or else it'll be guilty by silence.
I can fairly say that the matter is very complicated and that both
parties are at fault to various degrees. I have kept some e-mail
exchanges that will hopefully elucidate the situation.
Until then,
Willie Chen
President, College Bowl Club at UC Irvine
