Congratulations again to Kentucky A and Tennessee, winners of their respective divisions at the 4th annual Moon Pie(TM) Classic. Full team results are below (individual stats will follow in a second message.) But first there are a lot of people to thank. It takes a lot of work to put together a tournament of this size. Thanks go to assistant TD Stephen Taylor, UTC's stats goddess Dorothy Morisch, registrar Shannon Moore, chief engineer Wally Edmondson, used packets rehab therapist Yolanda Fernandez, and house readers James Quintong, Phil Groce, Jason Russell, Andrea Rossillon, Joseph Dion, Keith Hudson, Chris Walker, Dren Rollins, Eric Emmett, Scott Sherman, and Andrew Swallom. Thanks also to Jeff Hoppes and the crew at Princeton's Buzzerfest for providing their submitted packets and valuable help in editing ours, and to freelance question writers Jason Horn of Tulane, Jason Carl Mueller of Missouri-Columbia, and Seth Teitler of Cal-Berkeley. And again, thanks to Chattanooga Bakery for the use of their registered trademark Moon Pie and for those marshmallowy projectiles whose launching signals the culmination of the last tournament weekend of the school year at UTC. As for those results, we had a full round robin in each division (11 teams in Div. I, 13 in Div. II.) With the longer round robin in D II, there would be a playoff only if needed to break a tie for a trophy position; in D I, the top four teams would meet in a playoff. Team Name Win Loss Points Opp Pts Diff/GM Kentucky A 9 - 1 3495 1210 228.50 Florida Atlantic 7 - 3 2700 1750 95.00 Illinois B 7 - 3 2575 1710 86.50 Kentucky B 7 - 3 2430 1855 57.50 Illinois A 7 - 3 2755 1720 103.50 Emory A 5 - 5 1960 2045 -8.50 U. of Central Florida 5 - 5 1855 1930 -7.50 Georgia 4 - 6 1780 2040 -26.00 U. of the South 2 - 8 690 2750 -206.00 Virginia Tech A 1 - 9 660 2640 -198.00 Florida C. C. Jacksonville 1 - 9 1130 2380 -125.00 We had four teams tied for three playoff positions, but amazingly head-to-head records sorted it out perfectly. Kentucky B had swept the other 3 and was thus seeded 2nd, Illinois A had swept the two remaining and was thus 3rd, and Florida Atlantic 4th. In the semis Kentucky A beat FAU 245-155. Illinois A beat Kentucky B 325-145, then won a tiebreaker shootout 75-45 to advance. In the finals, Illinois A squeaked past Kentucky A on the last bonus, 225-215. But the shootout and the trophy went to Kentucky A, 115-65. In Division II, after the round robin, we had: Team Name Win-Loss Points Opp Pts Diff/GM Tennessee 11 - 1 2320 785 127.92 Emory B 11 - 1 2555 640 159.58 South Florida 10 - 2 1660 975 57.08 Valencia CC 10 - 2 2415 940 122.92 Wallace State CC 7 - 5 950 1210 -21.67 Kentucky C 7 - 5 1055 1350 -24.58 Bevill State 5 - 7 1120 1230 -9.17 Central Florida CC 5 - 7 910 1085 -14.58 Texas-Dallas 4 - 8 1000 1325 -27.08 UTC 4 - 8 605 1140 -44.58 South Georgia A 2 - 10 380 1470 -90.83 Virginia Tech B 2 - 10 540 1520 -81.67 South Georgia B 0 - 12 200 2040 -153.33 This meant playoffs for 1st and 3rd. Emory B beat Tennessee 165-95, forcing a shootout, which Tennessee won 60-15. South Florida beat Valencia 105-80 for 3rd. Individual results will follow shortly.
