No speed, though.

[Michelin Christopher Massey <Michelin.Massey@Colorado.EDU>]

Although this is an interesting issue, I think one of the smallest
disadvantages to this would be the fact that there would be no speed in
the final round at either the CEDA or NDT national tournaments.  I think
that this significantly hurts the activity.

Besides, the impact to Civil Rights outweighs (and will outweigh ALL DAY,
just like the Bulls will own anyone in the West :) CFR.  Not just once or
twice, but every damn time
