Subject: QB: RESULTS: TRASH Mid-Atlantic Regionals
From: jdinan@juno.com (James J Dinan)

	18 teams converged on the ICC building at Georgetown University
today for the Second Annual TRASH Mid-Atlantic Regional. And after all
the carnage and mock bloodshed, This Is SportsCenter came out on top,
defeated PENNatrators in the playoff final.

	For the victory, This Is SportsCenter received a travel case
created by Exxon, which included a Tiger Tail, a bag of coffee made
exclusively for Exxon (frightening isn't it), two cups, one cupholder,
and some maps.

	As runner-up, PENNatrators received a bag of Blue-and-White Penn
State glazed popcorn, as well as a tub of PSU potato chips.

	Due to the incompleteness of the scoresheets (i.e. - lack of
scoresheets for certain games), there will be no individual or team stats
posted. However, I can give you this much...

	The 18 teams were separated into two brackets of nine teams each,
and each bracket played a full round-robin. After the round-robin, the
top three teams in Division A played the top three teams in Division B in
a three-game round-robin (all games A vs. B). Same went for the middle
three teams in each division. Due to a lack of moderators and buzzer
systems, the round-robin for the bottom three teams in each division was
done differently.

	The top three teams in Division A were: This is SportsCenter,
Challengers of the Unknown, and the Foundation for Law and Government.
The top three teams in Division B were: UMBC Justice League of America
(only team to go undefeated in the first round-robin), PENNatrators, and
Georgetown A (winning a tie-breaker against Open Up and Say Buzz!!)

	Other teams competing included:

	Division A: Penn St. Shaft, PENNatrated, Original Yellow Jacket
Trivia and Drinking Club, Radioactive Samurai Slugs, Busta Kappa Kappa, A
Lotta Nothin Nothin

	Division B: Open Up and Say Buzz!!, GW Mobile Armor Specialized
Mask, The Triple Threat, Roanoke Love Triangle, Swarthmore, A Little
Somethin Somethin

	Scoring was done via the modified Continental Basketball
Association scoring system, which awarded 3 points for a win, 2 points
for a tie, 1 point for a half-won, and 1/2 point for a half tied.


	Special thanks goes to:

	Georgetown University for providing the facilities and
scoresheets.
	Rick Grimes, Jason Block, Willie Keller, Fred Bush, Josh Miller,
and the other "celebrity" moderators.
	All the players who made the event a day to remember

	Don't forget, DO NOT TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC QUESTIONS until after
the conclusion of the TRASH Southwest Regional next Sunday nite (11/14).
This includes distribution, categories, etc. If you want to talk about
any of the above subjects, e-mail me or the other TRASH editors.
