First of all, thanks to all the teams who came and made this a really great event for their novices. We will continue to try and run a great tournament and hope to see even more novices next year!
Second of all, congrats to all the Collegiate boys as well as the Lexington kids. Having had the pleasure to judge every single one of you, I was very impressed! Awesome job!

Watch out Craig I wouldn’t rub it in, Evan might take it personally and just have to beat you up ;-) and Aram is right I think we’ll just leave you in the dark about what that second word is suppose to be. As to why I wasn’t at Vassar, I a) didn’t want to write new cases and b) had friends at BG plus all the LD and Policy novices we sent so it was like one big party and c)after coming back from the tournement it was definitely worth it, I’d like to thank all the Bishop Guertin people who made it one of the best tournements I’ve been to the entire year. Everything was top notch, I had loads of fun, and just overall it left me with with an experience I wont forget. Finally, great final round Jonathan.
P.S. - Craig, who was Vassar anyways I heard you challenged Aram ‘_’

Arr, I lost to Colleigate PN twice in a row. Oh well. It was a good tournament, congrats to Jason again.
Oh and yes Craig, I went to a novice tournament I didn’t win. Talk to some people, it has been known to happen to us unlucky souls.
The tournament was really well done, good job all the BG people who put it together, I was impressed.

I know the term, it just is inappropriate. Anyway, I know Evan, you had to lose eventually, but it was fun while it lasted. Vassar was good, Robbie and I challenged te best people we could and had a lot of fun. Congratulations by the way.

Congratulations to Jason and Jonathon and many thank yous for that awesome final round. Contrary to what the votes say, it was extremely close.
Thank you also to all the debaters who joined us at BG and to the parents who made it all possible. (If you see this, I don’t think >any< amount of thanks to you would suffice, Mr. Ewing)
I’m glad everyone enjoyed themselves. For those of you who garnered those beautiful awards, don’t break them!
