At Googie Burger in the park. We got our food after listening for the announcement, "Googie customer 28 - shake it on down to the point."
The design of Googie Burger is pointed. The name Googie comes from its Googie style of architecture whose name, in turn, comes from a now-gone West Hollywood cafe named Googies. (Googie Architecture Online: http://www.spaceagecity.com/googie/)

Heading Home
We are on the Dartmouth Coach, heading for home. We arrive in Hanover at midnight. There are some tired quiz bowlers (and chaperones) here and it will feel good to sleep in our own beds. Tomorrow, we will post some more photos and perhaps a game-by-game recap from one of the players. Thanks for your support and for reading the blog.
Quick Sunday Update
The Hanover team went 1-2 in the playoff rounds on Sunday morning, being eliminated after the third round and finishing with a record of 8-5, two more wins than last year and the best showing by Hanover ever at the HSNCT.
They played a couple more consolation rounds before going to the Googie Burger in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park for lunch. We then watched an exciting final match between Bellarmine and Detroit Catholic Central, two impressive teams, before heading home. DCC came from behind to win the first game of the finals, but Bellarmine won the second game and the tournament. (Tournament Results)
We are now back in Boston eating dinner and waiting for the Dartmouth Coach. Some members of the team are practicing questions from the tournament.

Returning to the Hyatt after lunch at the Metro Diner.
Saturday's Record: 7 and 3
A great day of quiz bowl in Atlanta. The team played very well, winning the last game in overtime. They lost two afternoon games by a mere 10 points! They played a tough schedule against top teams.
A live blogger watched the morning game against Bellarmine and wrote,
"Hanover powers at about the 5th word"
and
"By the way, one of Hanover's members has an awesome straw hat."
We had a nice dinner out at a Turkish restaurant, which has become a tradition. Now we are all resting up for tomorrow's competition.

6-2 at 4:15
The team continues to play some terrific quizbowl. A favorite moment...a bonus on the 14th state..VERMONT...as Gabe pumps his fist. They lost by just 10 points, to Lasa A, a school from Texas that brings FIVE teams to the tournament! Two more games before the end of today's play. We are now sure of play tomorrow in the play-offs, but would like to go in with the best record we can.
