Quick update:
Finalists:
Ryan (4 wins)
Tucker (2.5 wins)
Me (2 wins)
Eeyore (2 wins)
Ryan played Blue, Tucker grabbed Green (my color, alas), I took
Yellow, and Eeyore had Red.
Eeyore won the first game nicely, and almost won the second game as
well, but it ended up going to Ryan. There was, therefore, a lot of
Eeyore-stomping in the third game -- and in the end, Tucker, in his
first ever IIT final, won the game by enough to beat both Ryan and
Eeyore. Very high scores overall; I think the only score in the final
below 20 was Eeyore's 15, though there could have been a 19 or
something I forgot, and that's with nobody doing a pure shotgun or
anything even that close to it.
This is, interstingly enough, the third year in a row that an IIT
first-time finalist has won the tournament. It's also the third year in a
row that I've made the finals (and, in fact, the only three times I've
made the finals) and not won.
