First round over, and it was exciting!

kitt decided around 20:01 on 28 October 2004 to publish this:
Many close games (DoG vs GOAT ended 16-15 well over the time cap), and a couple upsets (Pike beat the number one seed Sockeye 15-12), and many, many games holding seed. Some games were blow outs, soe appeared to be close the whole way. I managed to watch only the first few points of a couple interesting games, dashing back to the nest to enter half time scores.
A few notes of interest:
- The quickest game was Riot vs Nemesis (15-3), over at 10:42
- The quickest injury was in the B+ vs Chad Larson (17-16) game. The UPA's lawyer had a "I can't look at this injury it's so gross" broken ankle injury on the fourth point of the game. He ended up leaving the tournament in an ambulance.
- SubZero took half 8-4 on Johnny Bravo, but still lost to Bravo 15-12, for the biggest come-back of the first round.
- The last game to end was the DoG vs GOAT game, ending at 11:54, with DoG winning 16-15
- White shorts are big this year, with at least five Open teams wearing white or whitish shorts
- Most common scores were 15-{3-5} in womens games, 15-{8-10} in mixed games, 15-12 in open games and 15-{5-6} in masters games.
