Liberty will be hosting our annual tournament on January 22nd. It will be for both Varsity and JV, and we are writing the questions. I will post Camp's letter once she sends it to the coaches on her list.

I will not screw up lightning round arrangement this year!

Well... she won't make them that impossible. However, at least it won't be between "Given a soldier who fought under Colonel Doniphan, name the company they enlisted under", "Given a character from the show Taxi name their understudy", and "Given an eponomous album, name who recorded it."

Camp just sent the volunteer letter.

Penn Bowl (a tournament date Scogs is trying to avoid conflicting with for BL3) is also Jan. 22, so I might actually be coming home.

That's Maree (Mary); but she will unfortunately be graduating at semester due to recent family issues, so NKC is her last possible tournament. Which makes going to ACE somewhat of a waste of money.

It could be anything, so it's not a big deal. But yes, please don't talk any more about our questions. All that it will help is once you hear it you'll know who wrote it; it won't help a team score better by knowing that.

well, both things I had to say have been addressed, but I'll talk some anyway...bah, it's not helping anyone to tell them that I wrote a LIMERICK. I was just excited about my poetic genius (...) and figured this was the place to share it, haha

What, Maree got into Savannah's pants, what? haha sorry, that one was way too easy. Naw, I wish I was as cool as Maree, lol

Jason probably couldn't get a total of half this many teams if he held a tournament every day.

The number will be around 54. We have 27 Varsity and 26 JV confirmed, and there will probably be a school that decides to bring another varsity team to even out the numbers. I believe the deadline for registration was last Thursday, so this number thankfully should not grow anymore, but might end up being 56. I will have to get a list of all the teams from Camp so that I could post it. Now let's hope there aren't as many buzzer problems as we did last year.

It will be a madhouse... 60 teams.

Lee's Summit and Winnetonka registered late for various reasons I don't need to disclose. That brought it up to 59 teams... and to even it out, Camp told McCrary he could bring an extra team.

I don't think I mentioned that because of the vast amount of teams, we had to go from 6 to 7 rounds. I have written the entire Varsity final, and Mark (a JV player who also has nothing better to do) has written the entire JV final.

The format is the same as years' past:
15 tossups at 10 points each
10 tossup at 10 points each with 4 part bonuses, 5 points each part
Lightning rounds with sweeping bonus
15 tossups - I don't know if they're 10 or 20 points yet.

3 morning swiss-paired rounds, then top 16 teams advance. Because games usually go 30-45 minutes, Camp wants to run the fourth round before lunch (KYLE: DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ON THE BOARD; YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH ALREADY AT HOME).

In that case I'll have the Chamber of Commerce gripe at her. The tournament should be a one-day booster for the already blossoming Liberty economy, and sixteen teams (as opposed to at least 32) sticking around won't provide as much of an impact.

The most teams of any recent high school tournament in Missouri history (top that, Wash U!) and it's gonna make a whimper on Subway's journal tapes.

I am pleased to announce that this tournament should become the guinea pig for my new tournament management program. It is Internet-based, so if we are able to use it the way it is designed, scorekeepers will be able to enter scores on the computer in their room and will instantly update the totals. This means that if you're not at a tournament on that day and you decide "Who's kicking butt in L-Town today?" you can see up-to-the-second results!!

To test the program, I have entered the results from last year's tournament and it worked very well.

The results page is located at http://results.libertyscobo.phoenixrising-web.net

(Oh, and I will also be using the old Excel method just in case something catastrophic happens with the program)

Well, 13 and a half hours until the games begin... good luck to everyone... I hope my program doesn't malfunction horribly. I will be entering the scores myself, so it's all on me.

Don't forget - if you're not busy tomorrow and all goes well, you can see live results:

After a whole lot of chaos, it is 12:25 and we are FINALLY done with round 3.

Platte County and Raytown did not bring Varsity teams, so we spent way too long getting the bracket updated. There was a little bit of confusion with where people were supposed to be... I didn't get the seeds from Camp until late in the first round. Less than a minute after I got all the teams placed and scores entered for round 1, round 2 scores started pouring in. We had to push round 4 back to 1:00.

Anyway, remember you can see the results at the website above.

... and all the 5 point differences...

Our questions are a little more pyramidal than the previous tournaments this year. I am really appalled at how low certain scores are. I don't know if it's because they're harder or if teams aren't used to our style of questions. I'm about to go watch my final between Barstow and ___?____. I hope they play well.

My Comments

Running the Tournament

58 teams is way too much, especially when you have only three people working Tournament Central.

There was a major snafu in getting teams placed in the first round. Platte County and Raytown did not bring Varsity teams even after registering them, so we had to scurry to get the bracket down to 28 teams. Once I got everything in the computer fixed, we couldn't find Camp to get the room assignments to enter into the computer and to direct lost teams where to go. I got all the teams put in the right rooms and all Round 1 scores entered, and about a minute later, Round 2 scores came flying in. I really didn't get to rest until the middle of lunch.

Luckily, the program arranged seeds correctly after verifying with the Excel backup (it was just a simple plugging in team points for and against). There was one problem that occurred - Round 3 scores did not submit properly because my recently altered coding apparently tells it to ignore updating if bracket seeding is done after the round. But since the teams didn't go anywhere specific after the round, it was easy to manually enter the scores. It shouldn't be too hard to fix. Other than that, my program worked great. I think it would have been harder to downsize the bracket to 28 teams using the Excel sheet I used last year.



Results

Too many close games!!!

Varsity What-Ifs:

Barstow squeaked by in Rounds 4 & 5 - they almost wouldn't have made it to the final!
Cameron lost by 5 in Round 2 and won by 5 in round 3 to make up for it. They then won by 5 in Round 4 and made it to the Semifinals
Lee's Summit West won by 5 points in Rounds 4 and 5 to go up against Savannah in the Semifinals. If they had lost round 3, they would have been at highest seed 15.
If Blue Springs South had won the Team X game, they would have been 2-1 and would have taken 14th seed, even if they cumulatively scored less than 500 points.
If Mound City had won round 3, they would have made the top 16 and Cameron would have been the seed below.
If Oak Grove had won round 3, they would have made the top 16 and Kearney should have made it as well.



JV What-Ifs:

The 1-8-9-16 Quarterfinal could have been dramatically different.
Lee's Summit North, the JV champion, beat Oak Grove by 10 points to advance to the quarterfinal.
North Kansas City (#16) barely beat #1 Platte County to advance to play the LSN/Oak Grove winner.
The two North Kansas City losses in the morning were both by less than 40 points.
Kearney's only win was by 30 points. If Oak Grove had won, they could have gone 3-0.
If Lee's Summit West had defeated William Chrisman, William Chrisman wouldn't have gone 3-0 and Lee's Summit West could have made the top 16.
If Kearney had defeated Truman in Round 3, Kearney would have made the Top 16 and Truman would have been out by about 30 points.
If Park Hill had defeated Oak Park in the Quarterfinal, Oak Park wouldn't have made it to the Final.




Next Year
We=Liberty, since I will be at UMR next year

There will definitely be a cap on the number of teams that can come next year . Since we are hosting our district (and Conference if we win it this year), we are definitely only hosting one tournament. The preliminary number is 32, whether it is 32 Varsity or 16 Varsity and 16 JV (the latter of which would have to have a one-team-per-school limit).

I may end up having to run stats again next year since the mass confusion could have made anybody else go crazy (because I designed the program and knew exactly how to fix it, not necessarily because others couldn't handle it). And in actuality, we really needed one person entering Varsity scores and one entering JV scores. At 32 teams total, it shouldn't be such a big deal though. I think we should have had 5 people in Tournament Central for such a large tournament: computer person for both, runner for both, and Camp as the fifth to solve major issues with either.

I think the coaches meeting should not start until the Round 1 brackets are finalized and posted. Much of the Varsity snafus and delays came from that.

I'm sure we will have backup bracket setups on hand just in case teams back out. I was actually planning to have one ready just in case but never got around to it. But at 16 teams in each, I would think only bad weather or sudden emergencies (as in Leblond's absence) would cause a bracket change. If we ran a 32 team Varsity only, there would most certainly have to be a contingency plan since the likelihood of that happening increases.




OK... I'm done.

Watch out for... WILLIAM CHRISMAN!?

Seriously, the Bears of Willaim Chrisman went 3-0 in JV and defeated Savannah twice. I am surprised. Whatever their JV coach is doing, keep it up because the Big 7 will not look the same.

Oh, and congrats to Lee's Summit West's Varsity. In the school's first year, Varsity took fourth. (Please note this was posted before one of Jeff's edits.) However, they need to be much more daring on the lightning rounds. Trailing by 70 to Savannah, they just picked a category and sat on it.

hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha, William Chrisman.

(at least their varsity team.)

Team X at NKC beat them.

and this morning, Blue Springs South beat them. Blue Springs South had two people on their team, the second of which did not show up until second half; nevertheless, BSS was leading at the half 45-30. One person was beating Chrisman.

Not that I laugh at other teams or anything. I'm a good person, come on.

Next year we need to get Dallas (the voice of KLPS and Blue Jay Sports internet radio) to moderate.

What did everybody think of our low-scoring questions?

I wouldn't brag about them being low-scoring unless you're talking to soccer hooligans. Those scores are comparable to those in a MSHSAA-format tournament.

I wasn't bragging.

Here's the highest combined and average scores for each round
990 points possible, if both sweeping bonuses were awarded for a team sweeping both lightning rounds. (If I said 840 before, it's because I didn't take into account double points in the 4th quarter)

Average Loser Score: 166 (last year 206)

Looks like Round 1 may have been a wake up call to tell everybody that our questions are a little different, seeing how they played better in round 2.

JV round 1 was the easiest stuff in the database, hence the high scores. (They were definitely straightforward because the packet was a page shorter than the rest.)


Looks like it's not much lower than last year either way.

I need a life...

I know I said this above but it got obscured by more stats...

If you played, what did you think of the questions?
