While you're here, can you explain this little blurb that's apparently been making its way through the rumor mill:
"A faculty rep at Nationals might have prevented the obvious, odious cheating at a tournament last year, when USF players had obviously read the questions and didn't share that intel with the other clubs."
(from http://mailman.acomp.usf.edu/pipermail/ ... 03533.html )

"They sometimes get fooled by the direction a question is going to take, and that's intentional," said Reid. "The players on these teams are so good that 90 percent of the time they could interrupt the question and give the correct answer if the questions didn't take those kinds of turns. That wouldn't be fun to watch, so every now and then as I design these suckers, I say to myself, 'Watch this!' and wait 'til we're on camera. I got a lot of dirty looks this last tournament."

Good times.
I obviously don't know what happened or how much of what's been posted is true, but it seems to me that these are things that need to be resolved internally. Dropping a dramabomb on a public forum is bad for you and your team because no-one else knows quite what went down and you all look like a bunch of small children fighting over some sort of delicious treat... or something.
Anyway, my point is that it's probably not a good idea to air your club's dirty laundry. However, now that it has been done, I eagerly await further details from anyone who has knowledge of what's happening in the Southeast circuit.

I knew I should have taken a screenshot.
In any event, I'm sure that enough Chicago people read this to make it an running gag at our practices for weeks to come.
