Hey,

We had a lot of new members come out. Depending on how many stick around, we may send multiple teams to the tournament.

Hey,

I don't think we'll be able to get teams organized in time. Sorry, but we'll have to pull out.

If I may interject, the point of this tournament is that you don't have to organize much in order to play. You just need some interested people with a way to get there.

U of T meets for the first time on Thursday; will try and lure players into my van (figuratively, since I don't own a van).
I assume more peeps are coming and are just being coy with numbers?

I assume more peeps are coming and are just being coy with numbers?

Such is my hope. I'm waiting to hear from Guelph shortly about numbers, plus we have at least a couple of house teams.

I would like to know: how many people would be able to make it if this were pushed back a week to October 2?

How's the staff situation, Huma?

We should be good with staff, as it stands. :)

Thank you to everyone who came out to this, both to staff and to play. There were impressive performances from all teams, and I hope everyone had a good time. Congratulations to Toronto for going 6-1 to win this tournament.
