Subject: Results of the 2003 Rose & Gray Round Robin at Vassar College
I am pleased to announce that the Rose & Gray Round Robin at Vassar
College, my experiment in providing a round robin experience for fourteen
extraordinarily talented debaters (each with no more than two years of
experience in L-D), was a resounding success. Round robins are
traditionally reserved for those in their final year of debate, but I was
thrilled to be able to showcase some of the fastest rising names on the
circuit. What a great weekend!
The round robin took place here at Vassar College from October 4-5, 2003.
Speakers
3rd - Scott Brainard (Niskayuna)
2nd - Justin Becker (Hendrick Hudson)
1st - Abby Alger (Niskayuna)
ROSE DIVISION
Justin Becker (Hendrick Hudson)
David Nowakowski (Trinity)
John Schultz (Westbury)
Bo Snitchler (Randolph-Macon)
3rd: Mike Baum (Scarsdale)
2nd: Rachel Kaplan (Pine Crest)
1st: Abby Alger (Niskayuna)
GRAY DIVISION
Andrew Bryson (Cary)
Max Glasser (Great Neck South)
Rebecca Jackson (Randolph-Macon)
Matt Shields (Scarsdale)
3rd: Jacob Levi (Berkeley Carroll)

And, in the demo round, Abby Alger affirmed and Adwait Parker negated. Abby
captured the championship with a 5-4 decision.
Ethan Hallerman, Jon Helfgott, R.J. Pellicciotta, Matt Rand, Gloria Smith
voted for Abby. Ross Keogh, Charles Nerko, Pete Petraro, and a floor vote
of the students (7-4 in favor of Adwait) voted for Adwait.
Congratulations, and thank you again for a great weekend!
