T.R.A.S.H.: Follow That Junior Bird
October 20, 2002, Brandeis University, Waltham, Mass

Six teams from four schools converged on Pearlman Lounge for some good old-fashioned TRASH fun.  This was an all-undergraduate tournament, the first such event organized by T.R.A.S.H, as well as Brandeis' first hosted tournament.


The format was a double round-robin, no playoffs, 10 rounds.  Questions were provided by James Quintong and Alexis Mansfield of T.R.A.S.H.  Lunch was provided by the decidedly un-trashy Jewel of India of Moody St., Waltham.  Here are the team statistics:
