RESULTS: Eighth Annual Kidder Cup One-on-One Tournament

After 13 rounds of quizbowl, Matt Weiner took his perfect 12-0 record
into the playoffs at the #1 seed at the Eighth Annual Kidder Cup in Ann
Arbor.
 
After three rounds of single-elimination playoffs, though, it was Dwight
Kidder defeating Anthony de Jesus 270-190 in the final to retain
possession of the Kidder Cup, making him the first three-time winner of
the Michigan One-on-One Tournament.
 
And because hey, everybody's a winner, and we have the manpower to do
it, Mike Burger rallied furiously and played excellent four corners
defense to win three straight games to take home the Dixie Cup (an
actual Dixie Cup) for the winner of the non-playoff side.
