Please note that the registration fee has been updated to reflect the fact that I forgot to factor in a number of other expenses. Additionally, the field is now capped at eight (8) teams.

Vincent Doehr plans to run a visual architecture side event during lunch, lasting approximately thirty (30) minutes. Here is his post about the event:
Vincent Doehr wrote: During the lunchtime of Susan, the Illusion of the Plan side tournament will be made available. The tournament consists of six slides featuring notable works of architecture and design, with the first three being in power, and the last three being normal points. The category of question will be stated on the first slide. The answer could be a country, an architect, a movement, a city, etc. There is no specific distribution, but the questions lean towards the modern period. There is no registration fee, but please place your name on the Google Doc below to indicate your desire to play, giving a rough estimate of the number of seats required.

Due to the large number of interested persons and the issue of buzzer restrictions, teams of two will now play, each with one buzzer. However, individual points will still be recorded and should be, for the most part, accurate.

Congratulations to Im Tempo eines gemächlichen Ländlers. Etwas täppisch und sehr derb, who defeated The Know Nothings in a one-game advantaged final (340 - 165)! took third place.
Thanks to all teams for coming. Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the intended twelve- or thirteen-game format, but we did manage to complete a cool ten-game format. If you have any questions or comments about the set, please request access to the private discussion forum under "User Control Panel," and then "Usergroups."
