Stamford Crossword Tournament report

I've never tried to use the "LJ Cut" before, but I'm going to give it a shot here, because what follows is going to be awfully long. It's a report on the 25th Annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, and probably contains more details of more crosswords than most people could possibly care about. Read it if you want to. If you've already read my passworded journal, you can probably skip this, since it's cut and paste from there.

But just to be cruel, I'm not going to summarize it before the cut, either.

Stamford Revisited

Sadly, it looks like I do have to summarize the results, since I don't want to report that entire entry here (or edit that one). But there's been a correction to my score.

I didn't take all but 4 minutes in the second round. Lousy handwriting on the jduge's part: I actually took all but 11 minutes, raising my score 175 points.

Which means I got 50th. Wow.
