Hahaha this is embarrassing.

My apologies to Vinay (and to Larry) for the typo that Brendan Power already took the time to point out was embarrassing. The message about the final round that was sent to me was a little ambiguous and I misread it. My apologies for any unintended hurt feelings. The article has been corrected.
Many thanks to Regan Williams for helping with results and Shanna Liu for getting the finalists picture.
