major props to the hw crew for an amazingly well run tournament–I was shocked (even though I was expecting it to be a great tournament) at just how awesome this tournament was.

thanks to everyone who’s helped me out, whether it be at debate camp (go FSD lab! Case, Babb, and Wes), during the year, or at the tournament. seriously though, there are so many people in the debate community that are just plain awesome, and i really appreciate it.

oh, and to everyone i hit–thanks for making the debates fun. especially that final round Amanda–i really enjoyed hearing that AC (and I know you enjoyed running it).
