Very Nice Commentary. Congratulations Mr. Nick Cho. Did you get the name of your sig drink from Napolean Dynamite? (La-Fawn-duh)?

Love it. Love you* and love the sig drink descriptions.

Thanks for the pics Dan.

I'm a little sad that there are no photos of my 1st round sig drink, nor of my spilled bean hopper from finals.

Oh well. :wink:

There may be others who took photos of the first round; it's worth asking Michelle Campbelle (for others following this thread, here is a link to her final round pictures). Speaking of Michelle, where did she squirrel away the PDF of the final rankings? I've looked on the SCAA and BGA site without luck.

I heard but didn't see the hopper go over!

Here's the PDF, Dan.
