As for the current field:

Michigan A?
Michigan B?
Illinois?
Cal-Hulman of Princeton (Boyd-Graber, Irene, two Rose Hulmaners)

Please note that teams marked with a question mark have only informally told me they will come, and may not actually come at all.

Please note that due to room constraints, we will be forced to cap the field at 11 teams, which is the number we have now counting Illinois. Of course, Illinois has not officially contacted me, and if you do officially contact me, you might be able to get Illinois's spot (unless they officially contact me too, that is)

In a post that I will almost certainly not regret in the morning, I can announce that Illinois has formally contacted me and that the above field is FINAL.

See you all on Feb 4.

For those who are wondering what's going on, we are in the penultimate round of the initial round robin. Chicago B (Yaphe) is undefeated, Chicago A (Teitler) has 1 loss, and Michigan A (Kemezis/Westbrook/Turner/Rappaport) has 2 losses.
