Berkeley A beat Stanford in a finals round that they entered with one less loss than Stanford to win the tournament. Stats can be found here . Thanks to everyone who came out for the tournament! I hope you all had a great time. Feel free to join the discussion forum for the EFT set by going to your ...

We tentatively have enough Berkeley and Stanford teams for this tournament to happen, for sure, but we’d like some diversity in the field: please sign up (very) soon if you would like to play this tournament!

I would like to apologize for that blunder with respect to the Große Fuge clue; I realize that using the term "this genre" with respect to that piece caused some confusion, and I certainly wish I had written that differently (along with many other things in this set, which I will address i...

Sunday, Dec 9th won the poll, so we'll be holding the mirror then. More details to come!

When will this poll close?

McGill A will play this together. Should we vote once or four times?

Thanks,

Thanks for asking. The poll will close Monday morning. Each player looking to play this should vote individually, so 4 votes for McGill A would make sense. Sorry for not clarifying!

Hi, this is a preliminary announcement for the online mirror of Penn Bowl 2018 , which I'll be TD'ing. I'll update this OP with details soon, but so far, I know that it'll cost $15 a head to play and that it will either take place on a day the weekend of November 17th, a day the weekend of December ...

Not an expert in TDing or anything, but I'll give this a shot. The best I can come up with is this: Prelims: 5 pools of 5 teams each. 5 rounds where every team plays 4 games. Playoffs: Upper and middle pools of 10 teams each (top 2 / 3rd and 4th teams from each prelim pool), resulting in 8 matches f...

Bumping this because the no penalty deadline is coming up next week and I haven't received any registrations for this tournament yet. If you're interested in playing, please make sure to follow all the steps outlined in the post above! If you emailed me with a registration and I didn't reply to you ...

Thanks to everyone who has signed up on the spreadsheet so far! We're in serious need of two more staffers, and are willing to pay for your time (see the OP), so if you are available, please consider helping us out and staffing for this tournament. A logistics email will be coming soon for players, ...

Stanford updates. Nathan Weiser, Nikhil Desai, and Kyle Sutherlin all graduated / completed their respective programs this past year. :cry: byebye Natan Holtzman, formerly from UNC Chapel Hill, and Marianna Zhang from UChicago will be joining us in the coming year for grad programs / PhDs.

I apologize for not having more easy sets; for all I know SMT really might belong up here :mad: :mad: :mad: On the other hand, if you're talking about "hitting their difficulty target," it might be less fair to talk about SMT or MUT, since I think they both tended harder than what their i...

Day 2 of this mirror happened today. With 6 teams in the field, we played a double round robin. Since we didn't have any packets beyond the 10 prelim rounds, we just decided to have the records stand as they were after the prelims, with no finals games. "Help I'm in Iceland and Can't Come to Pr...

Day 1 of this mirror happened today. With 4 teams in the field, we played a triple round robin. Our plan was to either make packet 10 a one-game final if the top two teams were tied in record or a scrimmage if they weren't. "Help I'm in Iceland and Can't Come to Practice" had a better reco...

Dantooine is Big!

Logistics emails have been sent to all players and staffers. If anyone's team did not receive the email, please PM or email me and I can send it to you. Thanks!

It looks like Saturday still has only three teams signed up, so presumably we'd be just taking turns playing each other for the entire day. Not saying this isn't OK by me (having lots of byes is actually pretty nice)--but just wanted to confirm the TDs have no plans to change anything in regards to...

This is the last call for signups for the two mirrors. I'll be sending out a logistics email to all players, free agents, and staffers tomorrow.

Dantooine is Big!

Are you still looking for mods? We're looking totally good on mods for Saturday, but if we end up filling up an 8th team on Sunday and another team wants to sign up, we'd need another mod. If you're available, totally feel free to put down your name as a staffer! We might not need it, though. We're...

The Day 1 field cap is currently at 10 and the Day 2 field cap is at 8, thanks to the generous help of Connor Mayers and Matt Mitchell.

Dantooine is Big!

I just wanted to confirm that day 1 will be packets 1-10 and day 2 11-20? This is important as some of us already played the first half of the tournament (1-12) at a live site. edit: our plan would be to have Rein solo the rounds on 11 and 12 then join him afterwards Yes, this is correct, and that ...

Dantooine is Big!

As a team (the BC team) has stated that they will only be playing day 2 of the mirror, I have fixed the sheet so that there's a Day 1 sheet and a Day 2 sheet. Feel free to sign up for whichever day works for you. Am I allowed to compete in this as a middle schooler (well, technically my MS career is...

Can we play just one day or the other? Sure! We might adjust prices depending on how in-demand playing only one day ends up being, we'll get back to you guys on that. I would prefer the double mirror approach because I won't be able to play on the later date, which would have been the more preferre...

Hi guys, I have been having trouble getting in touch with people who owe me payments for some Stevenson Memorial Tournament (SMT) mirrors. Specifically, I have been having trouble contacting Jefferson Van Wagenen for the Washington mirror, Tyler Benedict for using SMT at the Ohio NASAT Tryouts, and ...

Dantooine is Big!

I think the Illinois people have gotten shoutouts so far (I'm also not quite in tune with the non-Stevenson, non-Ethan-Strombeck people in the Illinois circuit, so Illinois people should give shoutouts to anyone else that deserves it!), so I'll appease to my norcal alliance and advocate for Justin F...

A quick clarification and announcement: the last three mirrors / uses of SMT will occur this Saturday, after which the set will be completely clear and posted.
