Based on my info Miami (OH), Tennessee, and Duke round out the top 5 in that order.

As noted above, it was indeed a brutal tournament. On behalf of 972, it was our honor to hit AMTA's past two national champs in Northwood and Maryland, as well as our good friends from Richmond, and an incredibly tough round against Miami (OH). With that, I'm exhausted and headed to bed. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

This was a great tournament. Thanks UVA for hosting. The level of competition at this tournament is unparalleled. I know myself and all of my teammates from UT had an awesome time.

This indeed was an incredible tournament. The best tournament I've ever been to, hands down. Thanks UVA for a great tournament. And thanks to W&L, EKU, Miami, and Maryland for some great, tough rounds. Congrats to all teams who did so well. Go Vols!

Richmond also wants to give kudos to the best-run tournament year in and year out.  Toby Heytens and the crew at UVa do a service for AMTA with this tournament, and they can't be thanked enough for all the work they put into GAMTI.  It's a shame they can only invite 24 teams.

We also want to congratulate the best team we've seen all year and this year's GAMTI champion, UVa.  Hats off as well to GW, Bellarmine, and Northwestern for 4 great rounds.

See you next year.

After viewing this, one word: Bloodbath.

Also, looks like Hartsfield is back, though it didn't seem to help the defending champs first round against UVa.

A big congrats to Sally ´Swagga Jack´ Sullivan on her 29 ranks and Outstanding Attorney Award!!! Adda girl!

Anyone have time to do a Prosecution v. Defense analysis of the tab summary?

UVA´s margins on defense are incredible, especially considering their competition (Northwood, Richmond).

Agreed. I also found Miami's performance on D (4-1-1) to be very strong as well. I'm not sure how the timing worked out (or many other details about this tourney) but I thought it was impressive that Miami pulled 2 ballots from the #1 team at the tourney, after having faced their other team on the same side in first round.

I heard rumors that the defense win percentage was around 75%, but I'd have to double check

I echo the comments of most everyone: This tournament was rough, but the most challenged I have ever felt in mock trial. A big thank you to Cornell U, Richmond, EKU, and Penn for 4 really close and tough rounds.

Thank you UVa for hosting such an amazing tournament.  The logistics appeared flawless and the tournament was run very well.

Oh, and congrats Matarrese...you get to go to law school now...haha

I count 86.5 defense wins and 55.5 on the prosecution (61% in favor of the defense after the 4th round)

it's even more impressive when you find out that their usual prosecution closer, Kevin Harrison, stayed in Oxford this weekend because he had H1N1. They are some ballers. So proud of them.

Thank you very much. Our round against UVa 972 was a fantastic round, as the total point differential of 0 indicates (+1, +2, -3). It was the best round I have been in all year. I look forward to a possible rematch in New York. Miami would also like to thank UVa- especially Toby Heytens and Juliana Yee- for hosting such a well run tournament. It was a pleasure to come and compete.

Additionally, Miami thanks all of our opponents for fun, challenging rounds. Michigan, Tennessee, and both UVa teams were all great competition.

Best,

Alex Bluebond

Looking at the tab summary it looks like 972 was -4 points from going 12-0...scary
