thanks.

I'd like to toss my name out there as a free agent for this.

Dan, you're right that Loyola Chicago doesn't have a team, but my wife, Ellen, is the student activity coordinator there and would be more than happy to help you start your club when you arrive on campus. It's very rare to have someone in a student activities office be aware and supportive of quizb...

Gonzagapuma1

There is a 99% chance that I attend Loyola Chicago next year, and I'll definitely be starting a team.

Gonzagapuma1

Ok. If people are interested, I think the following will be going down: Maryland will host a mirror of the movies tournament and the science non-strosity on Sunday morning, probably beginning at a somewhat more leisurely hour (say, 10 am). We'll just squat in Jimenez, which has a surprisingly good ...

Now that Kevin is coming, I have to come play this solo, just so I can beat him.

Gonzagapuma1

Ian Eppler and I will be playing as a team.

I would play too, if you guys would have me. But, if you aren't allowing it, can you sign up me(playing solo) as a team?

Gonzagapuma1

I'm not sure if Gonzaga is really an "elite" team or whatever, but I can tell you that we went because I'm trying to stay in the good graces of my coach because he's mad that I'm in Gonzaga's spring musical.

Gonzagapuma1

So, I'm bumping this to get some interest going. It really should be a good tournament, and we already have a few teams signed up, so register now.

Gonzagapuma1

Yeah, so this tournament was bad. Logistically and question-wise it was bad, not that I expected much of anything.

I think what a lot of people are missing in this thread is on of the most obvious things to do. Go to tournaments. This is probably the way i've grown the most as a player because not only do you learn things, but you also learn how to play. I would also advise you to go to any and all tournaments. ...

Ok, it's not looking like this weekend is particularly likely, so we'll go ahead and call it posptoned. I'd still be interested in running this sometime in December if there's interest - I suppose the possibilities are the next three weekends (weekends of the 13th, 20th, and 27th). We'll see at pra...

Gonzagapuma1

I'm all for that. Also, it doesn't look like a whole lot of teams will be coming, so you wouldn't need that many rooms.

Gonzagapuma1

The lead-in of the Spain tossup is not uniquely identifying, as Spain, France and Morocco each fought in at least one of the Rif Wars. Tell me about it bro, I went for it with Morocco and got negged. But, Ian this was a damn good set. Sure, there were a few small things, but overall this was damn g...

Now that it's on Sunday, I'll be able to go.

Dude, a team grailing is really not that big a deal.

Gonzagapuma1

Will this be better than last year? THe only reason I ask that is that if it is not significantly changed, Gonzaga will not be attending.

Gonzagapuma1

Back to stuff about this tournament, I thought that Ian did a really good job with the set, and although there were some problems with the readers, it was well run.

Gonzagapuma1

I just want to say that, minus the few delays, this tournament was very well run, and especially wanted to say that the HSAPQ set was excellent. Anyone writing a set to be played on in high school should shoot for this(I'm looking at you NAQT).

Gonzagapuma1

Father should've e-mailed you yesterday, but we want to bring a B team.

Yea, that was our conflict, but we're 99% attending this with hopefully 2 teams.

Gonzagapuma1

Nice work Chris. Gonzaga will be there with 2-3 teams.

Gonzagapuma1

Yea, we have the same problem. Our B/C Team went 0-5 at 2007 WJ. Our A Team had already played the set at Princeton.

Gonzagapuma1

This is really cool, except the Elo Rankings kinda suck, especially when you get out of the top 15.

ReinsteinD wrote:As far as what we are looking for:
Depending on when U of I hosts the NAQT Qualifier, there is interest in a tournament for strong Illinois teams on either 1/31 or 2/14.

Either of those dates would be good if people are interested in mirroring GAT.

Gonzagapuma1

I just wanted to make this announcement as kind of a save-the-date. Questions will be house-written, with myself, Theodore Jasper Gioia, and Eric Mukherjee, and Andy Watkins serving as editors-in-chief. Basically, this should be the best tournament ever.

I'll play with you, as long as you don't mind having a not very good teammate.

I would be interested.

I thought this was a very good set, with good, nats level stuff.

Edit: Guy, the NAQT style is possibly the best national tournament for sorting who is the best, at least until more people start going to PACE, and PACE moves to a Swiss System. Granted, I still don't quite understand the playoff structure, but I understand that playoffs make things more fun, and a...

Most likely, some kind of team with Ted Gioia and I on it will be going.
