Backroom Politics Dominates Kneissel Cup Team Selection

16 year old Alyssa Helsing was disqualified.
Hanover, NH: The normally collaborative and friendly Tuck community is undergoing a seismic shift towards Wharton-style infighting and backstabbing, according to several observers of the Kneissel Cup team selection process.  Chris Ebeling T'07, the self-anointed leader of the selection committee, "has violated every social code this community has created, including self-serving behavior, unwanted email spam, sexual harassment, and even blatant favoritism," said one disgruntled Tuckie.  "Since when has winning been so important at Tuck?"

"Somehow Ebeling ended up on Team Amos.  What a farce!" said Jordan Karp, who was relegated to the second tier Team Tuck.  "I complained, so he gave me the captainship.  I'm a great leader, so it makes sense, but the whole thing raises some serious process questions." 

Serious questions about Ebeling's judgment were raised when pre-game screening revealed that Ebeling had tried to sneak a 16-year old girl onto the team: Dartmouth freshman Alyssa Helsing.  Besides the obvious legal issues associated with a 16-year-old participating in a drinking game, it just feels sketchy.  Many suspect Jill Branca T'07 of squealing on Helsing, as she stood to benefit the most.  With Helsing's disqualification, Branca was moved up to Team Amos.

Kyle Schroeder T'07, bumped from the alternate list, spoke with the Tuck Profit about his unceremonious removal.  "Duh," he said.
