Big tournament-big results.
thoughts?

What a messed up tournament. It sucks to see so many people go 135 and 521 and such. Inconsistent judging. And some rounds were really stacked, so that doesnt help. Did anybody watch humor finals? Thoughts?

I thought it was run quite well...
Although I agree with you that judging was a little weird. I watched Humor Finals and was very unimpressed with some and believe that Lindsey White and Ayesha would have made it

Can anyone post results for Drama and Duo (with titles too please)? I wasn't able to make it to Eastview

Results are up. I wasn't able to attend, but from what I'm hearing...

Drama
1 - Greta Besser - Lakeville North - The Syringa Tree (Quarters at Harvard)

2 - John Hofmeister - Apple Valley -The Laramie Project (Won St. Marks, 3rd at Glenbrooks)

3 - Javier Ferreira - Eagan - ?

4 - Aeysha Kinnunen - Roseville - Island of Hope (Won Glenbrooks)

5 - Taylor Misiak - Eastview - ?

6 - Britt Logan - Roseville - ?

7 - Bridget Hart - Bloomington Jefferson - ?

Tatiana won oratory, with her teammate Szuyin right behind her getting 2nd.

Same Difference won Duo, a duo from Eagan with Kaufenberg in it (from last years HI NFL finals) and Metamorphosis getting 3rd.

1. Josh Evans/Robert Knapp. Eagan- "Same Difference"
2. Marshall Covert/Emily Kauf. Roseville- "Pinnochio"
3. Adam Bouchareb/Greta Besser Lakevile North- "Metamorphosis"
4. Nelson/Ohmann Roseville- "Do they wear high heels in heaven?"
5. Roe/Mehrotra Eagan- "Behind the Music"
6. Mills/McGill Lakeville North- "Horton Hears a Who"
7. ?/? ?- "Batman vs. Superman vs. Alien vs. Predator"

So any further thoughts on humor finals? I had kind of heard things of that nature already. And I didn't mean to say the tournament wasn't well run, it was, it just is a funky tournament and always is. It's a very large mix of people and ideologies.

^ I was shocked to see that Adam and Greta didn't win.. anyone wanna recap the final round?

Oratory
1. Tatiana Burton - Apple Valley
2. Szuyin Leow - Apple Valley
3. Semira Mohammed - Eastview [Was she allowed to compete?]
4. Karen Zhou - Lakeville North
5. Joe Thomas - Eagan
6. Haben Ghebregergish - Eagan
7. Courtney Koletar - Lakeville North
8. Adam Bouchareb - Lakeville North

I was just wondering why this tournament had consolation rounds.. did they place like 7th-14th or something?

[killabowla236]

I agree with you on Adam and Greta, but some of the judges went by crowd reaction. And what do you mean about consolation? It's the same as honor finals, they just like to call it something different.

^ What is honor finals?

(I've never heard of this before.)

Ugh, crowd reaction.

Thanks for keeping me up to date everyone!
