Title: "Contender Eliminated" INT. UNIVERSITY CAFETERIA - DAY Students bustle around, chatting and enjoying their meals. LISA and BEN, two university students, sit at a table peering anxiously at their laptop screens. They are both wearing University of Oregon (U of O) sweatshirts. LISA (in a worried tone) Ben, have you seen this? The University of Minnesota is really catching up in the competition. BEN (squinting at his screen) Damn, you're right. They're coming close to surpassing us. They both look deflated. LISA (sighing) I can't believe our dream of winning this competition might be over. BEN (resolute) No way, Lisa! We can't let that happen. Not on our watch. LISA (determined) You're right, Ben. Let's do something about this. We need to eliminate the University of Minnesota from contention once and for all. INT. LIBRARY - DAY Lisa and Ben sit at a table, surrounded by numerous textbooks and research material. They scribble notes and brainstorm strategies to defeat their contenders. LISA (pulling up a website on her laptop) I've found the University of Minnesota's weak spot. Their debate team is struggling this year. BEN (excited) Perfect! We know our debate team is pretty solid. Let's challenge them to a debate showdown. If we win, their chances of winning the competition will crumble. LISA (nods) Agreed. But we need to make it official. Let's send an email to the University of Minnesota's Debate Society right away. INT. DEBATE HALL - DAY The University of Oregon and University of Minnesota debate teams stand behind their respective podiums. The crowd eagerly waits for the final decision that will tip the scales. JUDGE (after a momentary pause) The winner of this debate is the University of Oregon! The U of O team, including Lisa and Ben, erupts into cheers and high-fives. The University of Minnesota team looks disheartened. INT. U OF O CAMPUS - DAY Lisa and Ben walk across the university campus, talking excitedly. LISA (mock-serious) They should have known better than to mess with the Ducks! BEN (laughing) Exactly! Now the University of Minnesota is officially eliminated from contention. INT. UNIVERSITY CAFETERIA - DAY The cafeteria is filled with students celebrating and congratulating Lisa and Ben. The atmosphere is electric. CLOSE-UP: UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EMAIL Lisa receives an email notification on her phone. She opens it to reveal an official statement from the University of Minnesota, congratulating the University of Oregon on their victory. They express their admiration and look forward to future competitions. LISA (smiling) Looks like they accepted defeat gracefully. BEN (raising a toast) To the U of O's victory and sportsmanship! They clink their glasses together, joining the celebration. FADE OUT.
