Executive Summary: Capital Punishment I, a summer trash tournament, was held Saturday, July 10, at George Washington University. The tournament seemed to be successful, although I will leave post-mortem details to the participants. Congratulations go to the Chinese Foo Dogs (James Dinan, Dwight Kidder, James Quintong and Joe Wright) for winning Capital Punishment I by defeating the Dead Men Walking (Mark DeLaquil, Dan Nordby, Jeff Zahnen and Alex Mouat from Florida) 330-155 in the finals after going 9-1 in the double round-robin. Dead Men Walking's performance was all the more impressive given (1) that this was their first go at trash and (2) they had driven the 10+ hours from Gainesville on Friday evening/Saturday morning. The other teams were: * the Qo'noS Quartet (Adam Fine, Arthur Fleming, Roger Craig and Rick Grimes) * Julius Erving's Bastard Love Slaves (Rick Terpstra, Fred Bush, Jon Needle, Chris Barylick) * The General's Gerbil (Chris Rosenberg, Mark Coen, Shawn DeVeau) * Wild, Wild West (Andy Goss, Kristen Hamlin, Bea Vo) The future: I feel there is sufficient interest to warrant holding Capital Punishment II, which will be at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia (30 minutes west of DC), most likely on July 8, 2000. I am considering writing ALL of the questions for this event. Thank-yous: I want to thank them following people for making this tournament possible: 1. The GW Academic Competition Club for graciously serving as hosts, and for assisting with moderating. 2. Tim Young, Waldon Jue, Ashley Bander, Dan Larsen and Rebecca Hart for serving as moderators/scorekeepers. 3. Rebecca Hart, my girlfriend, for graciously letting me give up large chunks of weekend time with her to let me write questions. 4. Bryce Avery and Hayden Hurst for writing parts of a freelance packet that allowed me to have a complete championship game instead of a 30-tossup mini-match. The results: With packets submitted by the teams participating, and other packets written by Shawn Pickrell, a double-round robin was enabled. After the end of the round-robin, the results were: Team W L PF PA TUs INTs Chinese Foo Dogs 9 1 3375 1835 113 16 Dead Men Walking 7 3 2825 2235 100 24 Qo'noS Quartet 6 4 2700 2295 95 22 Julius Erving's ... 4 6 2275 2120 94 14 (full name: Julius Erving's Bastard Love Slaves) The General's Gerbil 3 7 1945 2720 72 10 Wild Wild West 1 9 1275 3190 61 16 Finals: Packet by Shawn Pickrell #1 Chinese Foo Dogs 330, #2 Dead Men Walking 155 #3 Qo'noS Quartet 310, #4 Julius Erving's ... 165 #5 The General's Gerbil 205, #6 Wild Wild West 120 Average total score (both teams) per game: 428.3 Individual statistics follow.
