So my pals in Colorado finally got their last elimination round of the night off...
It was late, but now it is done....
or, not ---- it seems that there is a protest (or perhaps more than one) that couldn't be settled last night. So the results aren't final and thus they can't make the 'judges needed in the morning' list.
I'm sure this is stressful for the teams involved -- while most of the tournament knows if they are eliminated or not -- the teams in the protest round(s?) don't... and probably won't find out until they arrive at the tournament.
Also, this will lead to a bunch of judge 'confusion' -- Many judges will drink anyway and either not show up or show up drunk/hungover. They'll be making terrible decisions they can't explain --- which makes me much more angry than I can express here....
Last time the protests were about the 25 minute forfeit rule (you have 25 minutes to prepare your arguments on the new resolution AND get to the debating room... teams aren't really good at the getting to the debating room part of that). I wonder what this is about.....
