Word Cup Final

The winning team will
have their names engraved
on this trophy

Today's semifinal matches were very exciting for the 8 teams involved.  In room FIS-1-21, SAAM and Happiness shared all of the points in the first four games, but in the fifth game Unicorn and Princess△ got on the scoreboard.  After a couple of slow games, SAAM regained their form and finished with 12 points.  That was just enough to get past Happiness (10 points). Both of them qualified for the final despite the excellent effort of Unicorn and Princess△.

In the other match, Extreme Sharks got off to a quick start in the first game, but it was clear from the start that Roses and Lavender were going to be very good.  By the fourth game, Roses had opened up a lead while Extreme Sharks and Lavender were locked in a close battle for second place.  Snakes were close in every game, but a few wrong answers at unlucky times made it impossible for them to advance.  In the end, Extreme Sharks showed that the male campus has some serious vocabulary skills and edged out Lavender to make it into the final with a score of 8 points.  Roses ran away with the match with an impressive 14 points and hope they can keep their momentum in tomorrow's final.

Tomorrow's Championship match will be played at 10:50 in rooms FIS-1-23 and MIS-1-13.  The four finalists are Roses (section 6), Extreme Sharks (section 903), SAAM (section 13) and Happiness (section 4).  The words for the final match are on the website.  They include some Unit 5 words, so every team will have some work to do if they want to lift the trophy.
