Barrington Invitational Tournament XII

[the return of AHAN]

This is a call for persons interested in staffing the 2015 iteration of the Barrington Invitational Tournament on March 14th, 2015. I'm in need of readers and scorekeepers. High school graduates are eligible for what has been described as a "handsome" stipend, while current high school players can count their service for 8+ hours of volunteer service. This will be a very large tournament, and I need all of the staffing help I can get!

E-mail me your interest at

I'm there.

[The Formiddable Dark Skeik]

I am there as well.

My staffer list is not as long as I wish it were. I'm still in need of 4 solid moderators for this tournament. If you are out of high school, I can pay you $80. High schoolers have to volunteer, but I'm happy to sign off whatever forms you might need to prove volunteer hours (school, NHS, probation officer, etc.). Also, scorekeepers are welcome, too.

I'm afraid you'll need to contact my probation and parole officer.

Extra special thanks to Mr. Tim Haupt, the Assistant Principal of Station Campus, who somehow goes along with these shenanigans every year, taking him away from his family for a whole extra Saturday.
