Paul Tyger from strakejesuit was undefeated

March 4th, 2006 01:18
I am 5-0 90 adj 149 overall
Jackie Allgayer is 5-0 90 adj 148 overall
I suspect that I am the top seed and Jackie is second unless there are some more 5-0s with perfect speaks.
I must say though, TFA state outrounds have lost their luster since the amazing Anjali motgi will not be in them. Qrts as a freshmen and cleared three years in a row……she was one of my favorties to win.

And what happened to AJ? Did she skip the tournament or fail to clear??
I know Corbin skipped it. But what about Lindsay Dolan? Rene Naud? Joseph Clifton? Shane?

I would have cheered for Corbin and Weeks, but it looks as though they’re not there. So I guess I’ll have to settle for Dudley instead….;)

OK… seeing as how D-octas started four and half hours ago, and octas are presumably underway, can anyone feed in some of today’s results??
Yes we got DJeffers above (congrats) but we don’t know who he debated so that leaves 31 people unaccounted for. Anyone??
Posted from: 24.160.102.84
March 4th, 2006 13:16
Douglas won in octas on a 3-0. He will face Studley Dudley in quarters. Also in quarters are Nathan Abrel, Patrick Mahoney, and the Ryan Cooper Andy Warner winner. Sorry, I don’t know the other 3 in quarters.

I couldn’t be more proud of you, andy!! the first time i had you in lab, karima and i talked about how amazed we were that you were only a freshman. congratulations on four years of hard work and an incredible performance this year. i’m so glad that i got to see you debate at least once this weekend.

March 5th, 2006 11:48
“why will Texas not be represented at nationals?” Let’s please not have this discussion here. Save it for another time.
Congratulations to Andy, we had a really good finalndy works very hard and it is well deserved. “He is good people.”
Big congrats to Nathan Abell who has become one of the most talented debaters in TX (not to mention he is just a junior). I already have my early prediction for TFA 2007 Champion…..
Lastly, congratz to Tvick for having incredible hair, good speaking skills, good debating skills, and good extemping skills. (He was 2nd seed in LD and 3rd place DX).

Congrats to Andy and Dudley. I saw Dudley debate this resolution at camp and I was really impressed so his success on the topic comes as no surprise to me. Nice job guys.

Joe was right- everybody next year had better watch out! For Nathan’s exceptionally nonresponsive argumentation!
Posted from: 24.160.101.171
March 5th, 2006 17:01
I was quite angry that I had to debate Nathan in the first round of the tournament. He is an exceptional debater even though our rounds make judges want to give us double losses.
Anonymous probably did not see any of Nathan’s outrounds. In semis alone I heard he gave a magical performance.
Come on, guy. Give credit where credit is due.

For those askinga bout nationals, the NFL districts for the Houston area (or part of it anyway) is the same weekend as the TOC. Thus, many uber-good debaters will be TOCing as opposed to NFL districting….or so I’ve been told.

Anonymous, its good to see you indict Nathan’s non-responsiveness with an ad-hom!
