Sad but True

By my count Roosevelt faced at least 10 of the octo finalist teams at TOC this year. It appears that Indianola did not clear to out rounds. Nor do I see any Valley teams in elims either. These appear to be full octos. Here are the pairings:

OCTASDurham WP vs. McClintock SB(Matt Grauer, Christensen, Hamilton)Lake Highland MW vs. Walt Whitman FN(Fred Robertson, P. Harris, Berkowitz)New Trier EW vs. Walt Whitman WH(Jonathan Peele, Joseph Gazzola, Carol Green)New Trier GC vs. Mountain Brook SG(Eric Di Michele, Ben Kearl, Rosenthal)Ransom Everglades GF vs. Ransom Everglades BBHarker HG vs. Regis GL(Caugherty, Cornwall, Jake Lewis)Timber Creek WE vs. Ridge SB(Mike Wascher, Jim Miller, S. Waugh)Walt Whitman ES vs. Regis PS(Dean Rhoads, Schurevich, R. Schebel

In fact, only one Iowa student appears to have earned elim rounds--that would be Ross Brown of Valley in LD who had two huge wins in prelims to set himself up for tomorrow.
