Oh, the pwning memories are always the best. :D We had a few like that, typically when we'd guessed the question perfectly and the person whose case it was had a seven minute opening spiel for that question that hit everything that was pertinent in the case.

Finals at nationals my junior year was like that - I had an argument perfectly prepared for the question they asked - except that'd we'd been knocked out in the round before. :-( But at least the whole team had had a chance to hit the hotel bar before the final round, so it was easier to laugh as both sides floundered on the case.

(The semi-finals case we got knocked out on was on an eminent domain issue, and one of the very liberal competition judges didn't like me quoting a Scalia dissenting opinion on the matter - despite the fact that Scalia was actually trying to protect individuals within a poorer community from some really nasty corporate shenanigans in his arguments. But Scalia is a conservative, and thus apparently can never be right, even when he totally is. Not that I'm bitter or anything.)
