[COHO] Fall Classic Final Results

[Jeremie Landers]

Man I hate to have to do this... egg on my face.

   Many inaccuracies have been found between the scores posted to the OBC
Fall Classic website and what was announced at the Fall Classic. FOR THE
TIME BEING, please allow me to double-check what has been posted, find the
inaccuracies, and rectify them. If you see something that looks wrong,
please speak up to me off-list about it. Thank you kindly, and I will have
updated results a.s.a.p. (I'm at work right now... >.<)

   Thank you for your understanding,

   Jeremie Landers
