Congrats to Matt Dunay for winning and getting his third (of many) bids, and to Saboor for (finally) qualling. This has been an excellent year for Bronx and hopefully, it will get better as the year progresses.

Also, congrats to Abhi for clearing as a sophomore, and to Daniel, Tina, Max, Stephanie and Carolyn.

I would like to congratulate Ethan Roth for winning the novice final on an 8-1 decision. In response to Struver’s comment, I don’t know why Alli squirreled; the round was quite clear. It’s okay, though. I still love Good Old Alli.

Jim Menick and the Hen Hud Sailors put on what has long been the most consistently efficient, enjoyable, educational tournament in this neck of the woods. I was honored to been a member of the tab staff this year — the novice tournament rules! — and was even more honored to have a student win and place as top speaker at one of the longest-running tournaments in the activity. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you should put Bump on your schedule.

I judged some really great rounds this weekend. A lot of debaters so far this year have really impressed me.

This was my first time at bump, and I thought it was great. It’s so nice to have an entire tournament in two days.

In other news…Karlyn! Half way there miss. Major congrats – I’m sure the other one is right around the corner. I’m so happy for you!

Ellen Noble you are a superstar! I am so proud of you, Ace! Also, of course major props to Emily on finishing your TOC quall and Perry on continuing your excellent season. I really wish I could have been there this weekend.

As a side note, this is now the third Bronx-Whitman final round in a TOC-qualifying tourney this year, and we feel fortunate to have such great competition from our neighbors to the north. Big congratulations to Matt, Saboor, Jon and the Bx Sci crew. Props as well to Ms. Karyln (told you it would happen) and Mr. Tong and everyone else (and thank you to Mr. Menick and the Hen Hospitality).

Finally, this finalist picture looks like Matt is awkwardly trying to put the moves on Ellen.
