The teams played a full round robin, earning 2 Sumerian Love Poems for each win and 1 Sumerian Love Poem for each draw. Following the round robin, the teams were bracketed 4-4-3, playing again against the other teams of most similar record.
At the end of this the top two teams, Harvard Friggin' Huge and Cornell, were tied at 24 Sumerian Love Poems apiece, and they played against each other in a 30 tossup Battle Royale. [Cornell had defeated HFH in the full round robin 185-180. Harvard evened the score in the bracket match-up, 375-175.]
Harvard Friggin' Huge defeated Cornell 370-185 to win the Northeast Regional ACF championship.
Gautam 1/1 David 3/3 Joon 5/0 Guy 6/0
Matt 6/1 Prasun 2/0 Evelyn 1/2 Anwar 0/0Congratulations to Harvard for their victory, and to Cornell for making the finals.
Also, many thanks to Jake Parrott who for the second time in three weeks ran a dang swell tournament; to Amy who successfully slaved for hours over the stats; and to all the people who helped out by moderating: Adam Fagin, Kyle Pope, Willy Jay, Matt Boggie, Paul Lujan, and the members of the MIT QB team.
Individual scoring awards were given to the top two scorers in the full round robin play - Cornell's own Matt Colvin and Aaron from Yale Miller Time. In the complete play stats (not counting the Battle Royale) they maintained their positions, as seen below, with Sahir (HNSW), David (HFH), Bill (ColA), Guy (HFH), and Prasun (Cor) also breaking 30 PPG.
Stats follow, but first:
The tournament ran an hour ahead of the planned schedule. This is purely due to wonderful teams & a wonderful volunteer (well, they got pizza...) staff. Thank you to everyone who helped out, including moderators Alice Chou, John Edwards, Mitchell Szczepanczyk, Lorin Burte, Eric Hillemann, John Tangren, and a guy from BGSU whose name I cannot recall (very very sorry.). A special huge thank you to Mike Altman, statkeeper extraordinaire, who had new stats up after _every_ round, on time.
