The 2007 Texas Team champions are Fork, the other knight meat, pictured above in board order (left to right, 1. Francisco Guadalupe, 2. Mark Dejmek, 3.Chris Land [team captain], and 4.Robert Plunkett). They scored 3.5 out of 4 match points, defeating last year's champs (Jimbo's Heros Ride Again, rechristened as Fleet Wood Hacks: Selby Anderson, John Patty, Jim Rohrbaugh and J.P. Hyltin) and ending with a tie match to UTD Alumni (Dennis Rylander, Ali Morshedi, Marc Furhmann, Clemente Rendon and Steve Young). UTD Alumni finished in second place at 3 points, having tied their match with Fleet Wood Hacks.
The top U1900 team was Four Horsemen (Jose DeLeon, David Prevost, Juan Carrizales, Mike LaBelle) with 2 points, on tiebreaks over Team Conquest (Gregg Stanley, Martin Gordon, Daniel Lozano, Anthony Lozano).
There were nine teams, and the prizes (b/12) were cut to 75%. The turnout was about average, despite the lack of a Tournament Life Announcement in Chess Life. (We sent the TLA within deadline, but it evidently got lost somewhere in Crossville and we didn't follow up.)
Honorable mention for obscure team name reference: Lonely Day (Brad Sawyer, Paul Haney, Jesse Lozano and Anthony Guerra). The video for "Lonely Day" by System of a Down (on YouTube among other sites) has chess in a minor cameo role. (On a related subject, check out the video of "Unlevel" by San Antonio based Buttercup, where chess has more than an incidental role.)
