The very fact that the format of this tournament was anything other than pure ACF meant that
the UKAT would not have as much fun or do as well at it; nevertheless, Michigan's crew did
much to provide (mostly) academic, well-written questions, as well as running a fairly smooth,
seamless event, and there was enjoyment to be had in the tournament. Among the latter are such
highlights as the excellent moderating of Anne Mitchell, the initial good play of the team,
the return of Steven Richardson to the game after a semester off in Australia, and an all-star
for Kelly; lowlights include the gradual disintegration of our skills in the playoff games
whose end result was losing to Andrew and Subash, and the oddball playoff system which used
combined points from two games (by which we lost after being beaten in the final game by a
margin to erase the lead we'd taken out of the first meeting) instead of best of three games
played. The outcome was, in sum, a pretty good time for all.

NOTE: This tournament's official stats, which are supposed to exclude playoffs, actually
include two rounds of the Swiss pairs play (in addition to the 9 round robin games), but not
the third (what a mess). What you see here are the correct stats for Division I through game
11. Whatever. Here is your writeup:
Well, what can we say? We knew what we'd be getting when we signed on for the tournament, and
NQT has yet to belie our expectations of it. Best to leave it at that; as far as results go
the A team was whalloped in the finals by NQT juggernaut Florida (congratulations to them)
and the Division II team finished 5-8 (according to Steinhice's Yahoo group post), with a
Division II all-star going to Richardson and MVP honors going to Kelly. Highlights mostly
revolve around non-game activities, such as a drunken viewing of the opening ceremonies of the
Olympics, a definition of "Everclear" by a GREAT liquor store clerk, the principled absence of
David James, and meeting Depauw's Rose [Almost six years ago (holy cow!), during a
Governor's Scholars function, I was introduced to Rose by my high school friend Adam. The
three of us got to loiter around the Galleria and downtown Louisville for an afternoon, but
sadly I can't remember much of what we did. Anyway, I was very startled and pleased to see
Rose again, especially at an NQT nerd-a-thon! So cool. -Ed.]
