Round 11: Dorman vs St Mark’s of Texas. The moderator is Andrew Hart with Charlie Dees helping out and keeping score.. The pairings are now uneven, St Mark’s is 5-1, Dorman is 6-0. Also, I would like to note that there is no Mark on Dorman. Whoops.
TU 1. Freddy powers the first tossup. They 20 the sci-fi bonus. (35,0).
TU 2. Dorman negs and St Mark’s picks it up right away, but too late for power. They 20 the bonus. (30, 30).
TU 3. Todd gets the tossup at the very end, almost not getting it in time. They manage 10 on the bonus. (50,30).
TU 4. It’s math calc time. St Mark’s gets it before the end, but still for 10. They zero the bonus. (50,40).
TU 5. St Mark’s tried to change their answer when asked to repeat, and was then negged. Dorman picked it up. They 20 the bonus, after a lot of conferral. (80,35).
TU 6. Todd gets it for ten, although it was less than fun. They pull 20, missing the last part they were unsure of. (110,35).

Time out called by Dorman. 6 tossups left and 2 minutes on the clock. This is anyone’s game.
TU 21. Dorman gets it, and 10s their bonus. (355,210). More timer madness.
TU 22. Todd powers it very early on! They take their bonus and get 20 points from it. (390,210).

TU 24 just as the timer goes off. Dorman runs out of time, it dies. (390, 210). Dorman wins.
