The Cat Nats Report: Hey Number Crunchers! 17.2% of the Competitors Will Clear to Outrounds

BOSTON (May 29, 2004 16:13:08 EST) - Niskayuna’s Scott Brainard has informed me that there are 186 people in the pool. As noted earlier, the tournament will clear to doubles tomorrow. Thus far, without access to a comprehensive list of names to match with codes, it seems fruitless to post the pairings. However, I will post breaks tonight, with as many names as I have available.

Two debaters from the South - Georgia and Florida respectively - have let me in on their own thoughts on the NCFL thus far.

“I’m sick of hearing about the Patriot Act and Japanese internment,” notes Tye Tavaras of Grady. “But, Victory Briefs has been a huge help on this topic!” (I assure you I was not responsible for that plug.)

But, overall, the response has been quite positive, even in the face of new challenges. “The tournament is a bit overwhelming; it’s my first time here,” explains John O’Reilly of Fort Walton Beach. “I’m definitely having a lot of fun! I never knew I could get my butt kicked so hard…but I’m still enjoying it.”
