Congratulations to Shadman and Tess on their final round appearances, Marc on semifinals, and Alex Bores on a very, very well-deserved first bid. I don’t know the rest of the results yet, but I know Team Scarsdale performed quite well and I’d like to congratulate them as well.
Most of all, I’d like to congratulate Matt Dunay on a very well-deserved and hard-fought first bid. Matt, your work ethic inspires all of us. Great job! Special shout outs to Seth, Melanie, and Vineet on advancing to outrounds as well.
~ Your fans at the Regis three-rounder

some random results, I forget a lot
Octas
Bronx MD def Lexington JZ 2-1 (Mumper*, Morales, Bores)
Quarters
Millburn TM def Nisky SD 3-0
Collegiate MW def Hunter AB
Sacred Heart SZ def Scardale MM
Bronx MD def ????
I was first speaker and top seed, the only other speaker I can remember it Tess was 6th I think.
Major congrats to Marc, you definitely deserve this bid more than pretty much anyone I know. It’s a good job you suck at predicting your own record because you definitely weren’t 1-4 going into rd 6.
Also congrats to Tess on an amazing tournament, you are an awesome preson and I’m glad to have met you.
I’m sure I’m leaving out plenty of people because I don’t have full results but congrats to everyone who cleared and those who bid.

The debaters both had long drives ahead of them that night and it was close to ten when they finished semi finals. So they opted for pizza and a co-champions instead!

LEIA
Luke, don’t talk that way. You have a power I–I don’t understand and
could never have.
LUKE
You’re wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you’ll learn to
use it as I have. The Force is strong in my family. My father has
it…I have it…and…my sister has it.
LUKE
Yes. It’s you Leia.
LEIA
I know. Somehow…I’ve always known.
LUKE
Then you know why I have to face him.
LEIA
No! Luke, run away, far away. If he can feel your presence, then leave
this place. I wish I could go with you.
LUKE
No, you don’t. You’ve always been strong.
LEIA
But, why must you confront him?
LUKE
Because…there is good in him. I’ve felt it. He won’t turn me over to
the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I
have to try.

Thanks to the Manchester team for running an efficient tournament and feeding me for the weekend.
Congrats to Matt for bidding and for being the only debater willing to run the zombie UV, Marc for making the Liverzani/Hadaway lab proud, and Andrew Pitts for giving my new favorite argument on this resolution (Alt: Make criminals give speeches because people fear public speaking more than death).
Posted from: 72.229.246.58
October 28th, 2007 21:31
clearly the argument of the weekend goes to a madly improvising Karlyn Gorski who faced the unexpected mountain of Alt Spec theory by calmly advocating we put all murderers into irreversible comas, thus solving all of the neg case. She won!
