Notes

    • Marc, David, and Mehr all wrote reviews not long after the successful completion of MBBB5.
    • The MBBB roster hit new heights during MBBB5 as seven members participated during the whole day. All of the MBBB regulars made it, including David, Marc, Matt, Mehr, and Russ, but the day was bolstered by Eugene Shin's commitment plus the much ballyhooed return of MBBB favorite, Adam Greenspan.
    • This year, we held a democratic vote to determine which activities would encompass MBBB5. Handball led the charge by a significant margin, and was followed by a Slam Dunk Contest and a Table Tennis Tournament. Click here to see the full results, including all of the events and who voted for what.
    • Despite the vote, if you view the final schedule of what went down at MBBB5, you'll notice certain subtractions and additions were made. The replacement of the Slam Dunk Contest with Bowling was in direct response to the lousy conditions left by the rain during the previous night. It was deemed too risky to dunk basketballs on a wet court and so the event was postponed. Table tennis was then replaced by the board game Pictionary because there wasn't enough room to play in either Matt or Span's basement. Pool was voted over Pictionary as a replacement, but Span's injured arm prevented it from being a viable option.
    • The driving situation consisted of two cars, driven collectively by Eugene, Matt, and Mehr. While Mehr drove the whole day, Eugene was a bit too tired to finish the day and so Matt took over for him after the Capture the Flag event.
