Having enjoyed the ACF goodness from our friends at Tech in January, two summer teams - "Bill
Bixby's Big-Ass Communist 18 Wheeler" (inspired by a great
list of band names), consisting of Kelly and Robert, and
"Flower 'n' Jüde", consisting of Seth and honorary team member Rose (see, it's a pun based on
"Flowering Judas" based on the fact that she has the name of a flower and he's Jewish; get it,
get it?) travelled to Atlanta again to play on what were on the whole good questions, with the
exception of one gruesome packet and a suboptimal number of repeats. There, Kelly and Robert
finished the day with the win over "Giovanni Deformata" (a Raj and Valencia CC team named for
Nwajwa's second most-famous novel after The Palm Frond), while Seth and Rose finished
5-5 and had a good time doing it. Other highlights include the really high-class competitors
(including the great Jim Dendy, Jason King, and Mike Musgrove), 1st and 2nd place individual
scoring awards to Kelly and Seth, and the best game of Seth's career (15-0) on Kelly's packet;
lowlights (save the aforementioned clunker of a packet and the repeats) include one really
awful reader and Robert's narrow miss of an individual award. All in all, this tournament was
great, smooth-tasting mellow ACF, and its detractors can bugger off.

After the triumph of the Chicago Open the crew from Georgia Tech tournament reunited, shuffled
team compostion a bit, and fielded two teams for UTC's "Moc Masters." Kelly, playing solo
under a team name of a phrase uttered by Moe on The Simpsons, which for some stupid reason he
thought was hilarious, beat out "Haterade" (Seth, Robert [alias Bertie this time around] &
Rose, and named for a faux-advertisement from Doggy Fizzle Televizzle) by five
points to win the abbreviated tournament without a loss, defending his title on questions
which were certainly accessible and easy but were laden with repeats; oh, well. Highlights
include generous All-Star awards (Kelly and Seth captured first and second place again, while
Bertie and Rose also were decorated) and finding Rose's Dark Chocolate G-Spot the night
before; lowlights include the two packets with the most unanswered questions which came from -
you guessed it - Seth and Kelly.
So, a really enjoyable summer which actually seems to have brought some glory to the team (it
should be noted that - counting the Singles tournament - Kelly played the lead or only role in
four tournament victories this summer, winning every event in which he played), not that
anyone will give a damn. On to the fall...
