The inaugural P&A Chair's Cup Soccer Tournament concluded successfully on Wednesday, June 1. The Championship game was played between the AMO and Condensed Matter teams, and AMO won the Championship in a dramatic fashion by 2-0. Both teams played exceptionally well, and the game was exciting and entertaining to watch. (The Provost's Office came to watch the game.) In the 3rd and 4th game, YITP beat Nuclear by 2-1, even though the Nuclear team went all out NUCLEAR!
Overall, all the elements of a successful tournament were present, including dramas and controversies! The organizing committee did an excellent job. Even the Soccer Tournament BBQ Social hosted by the losers (HEP) was successful - over 100 people attended! Congratulations to the winners and everyone who participated!
