This was an excellent tournament for three reasons:
1. It ran on time - the food was timely; we actually finished before I expected to be done. This was possible because of excellent planning on Mr. Queen's part.
2. The competition was pretty evenly matched. No team really crushed any others, and it was nice to have an event where there wasn't a gauntlet that any team had to run.
3. The hospitality was tremendous. Everyone was unfailingly polite, especially the readers and the other moderators.
If you're looking for a well-run, enjoyable, novice tournament as a tune up to start the academic season with, Chillicothe can absolutely meet those qualifications. I'm looking forward to coming back next year.
