Especially since we had two high school programs join the fray for Moc Masters, I had no problem with well-written questions that were a little closer to, say, COTKU than to ACF Regionals. Speaking of editing, I apologize for the glitches in the Moc Masters sets. There were at least 2 tossups, where I somehow deleted the last sentence, and a lot of quasi-repeats (Zeeman effect as a bonus, Lorentz and Zeeman as a 2-answers-required tossup; a tossup on Cortazar and one on _Hopscotch_, etc.) But when you edit 25 packets for 2 tournaments, most of which were received within a week of the tournament, they all run together after a while. Also, my apologies for the nasty combination of 100-degree heat and underachieving air conditioning. It made me wax nostalgically about the freak snow during the first Sword Bowl. Other than that, it appears everyone had a good time this weekend, including me. Full results will be posted shortly.
