Today, the 3rd Annual Big Red Royal Rumble took place in beautiful Ithaca.  The 
field ended up being eleven teams from nine different schools (Pitt-3x, NYU, Columbia, 
Dartmouth, Princeton, Williams, MIT, Randolph-Macon, Cornell [inexperienced players]).  
     Columbia, led by Bill Atkinson defeated Jason Sugg and MIT 200-125 in the final.  
Semifinalists were Princeton and Williams (a two man team!).  (Surprisingly the Cornell 
team--a first year freshman, a first year sophomore, and a second year sophomore with 
one previous tournament's experience--finished a strong fifth)  
     Shawn Pickrell of Randolph-Macon finished as the top individual scorer followed by 
Matt Lubin(?) of Dartmouth, Ted from Williams, Bill Atkinson from Columbia, Jeff Stewart 
of Princeton, and Jason Sugg-MIT.  
     Princeton won the award for the best tactile bonus, giving teams thirty seconds to 
identify three pouches of spices (ginger, allspice, and cardamon).
     Full listings of individual statistics will follow eventually.
