Michigan Fall at Wash U 10-5-13
Michigan Fall at Wash U 10-5-13
Hi all,
Wash U will be hosting a mirror of MFT on October 5th, 2013. This tournament is written by the Michigan team and is supposed to be Fall/Fall-plus difficulty like last year's Illinois Fall Tournament. Please email us at washuqb@gmail.com to sign up.
Charles Hang will be TD'ing and will post a full announcement in the main forums at some point. We'll most likely have rooms in Eads Hall, where we held all of our college tournaments last year. Hopefully everyone will be free this weekend to play some relatively difficulty-controlled quiz bowl.

Eligibility
QuestionsFrom the MFT Announcement wrote: In terms of eligibility, we will allow any teams comprised of players playing for a single school / college to compete. This includes graduate students and high schoolers.
More information about MFT, including information about optional packet submission, can be found here.From the MFT Announcement wrote: The set is intended to be "regular minus" or "fall plus" difficulty, akin to the EFT or IFT tournaments of the past. The final distribution of each packet will be:
4/4 Literature (1/1 American, 1/1 British, 1/1 Euro, 1/1 World/Mixed)
4/4 History (1/1 American, 2/2 Euro including British Commonwealth and Ancient, 1/1 World)
4/4 Science (1/1 Biology, 1/1 Chemistry, 1/1 Physics, 1/1 Other Science)
3/3 RMP (1/1 Religion, 1/1 Mythology, 1/1 Philosophy)
3/3 FA (1/1 Painting, 1/1 Music, 1/1 Other FA with a roughly equal split of auditory and visual)
1/1 Social Science
1/1 Geo/CE/Miscellaneous
Which is basically the ACF distribution. Tossups will be powermarked during editing.

WUSTL A (Richard Yu) took first; Tamil Tiger Mothers (Ben Zhang, Kisan Thakkar, Jialin Ding) took second after having to leave without playing a final. Richard was the top scorer, Ben was second. Stats will be forthcoming.

Unless I read the statistics report on Young Frankenstein wrong (or it messed up the PPG, which I guess is possible), I think Dylan finished ahead of Greg Lindsey in the individual standings.

There are some errors in the preliminary statistics; Greg Lindsey was the correct 8th place scorer.Mickey0R0urke wrote:Unless I read the statistics report on Young Frankenstein wrong (or it messed up the PPG, which I guess is possible), I think Dylan finished ahead of Greg Lindsey in the individual standings.

Ah, ok. Hopefully my corrections that I sent in help reflect that, then.Charbroil wrote:There are some errors in the preliminary statistics; Greg Lindsey was the correct 8th place scorer.Mickey0R0urke wrote:Unless I read the statistics report on Young Frankenstein wrong (or it messed up the PPG, which I guess is possible), I think Dylan finished ahead of Greg Lindsey in the individual standings.

Stats: Preliminaries - Playoffs- Combined
Because we did not carry over preliminary games into the final standings, the playoff stats reflect the final standings (minus the final).
