Competent moderator: -$10
Travelling over 200 miles to get to us: -$10

Assuming that mixed teams are still allowed I will be teaming with Doug Yetman for this event and possibly some of my RPI teammates.

I will try to get some NYU people interested in this, but if there is insufficient interest, I would be interested in coming in to help as a moderator.

[Just a Guy Made Of Dots and Lines]

Hunter will be there with 1 team, 2 buzzers, and 1 moderator.

Just to echo the reminders going up in the other BARGE e-mail chains: no packet is required for our site, and as you can see, the field will be an eclectic mix. Come join us. I know that some schools will be on break. If you can't scrape together a full team and want to come as a free agent, let me know. We'll find a way to make it work.

Put me down as being interested in being a free agent. Full decision to come later.

[Edward Powers]

Saint Joe's HS is interested. I will let you know by week's end. If we do come, it will be with 1 team and 2 buzzers.

[The Predictable Consequences]

I'm interested in being a free agent too.

[Ondes Martenot]

I'm trying to see if any of my RPI teammates will join Doug and I for this. If not, we would be glad to take on some free agents for this.

[Edward Powers]

Unfortunately, Saint Joe's will not be able to make it due to transportation issues, but we do wish you good luck with your tournament.

[Ondes Martenot]

Ryan Rosenberg is joining our team

Nolan Esser will also be joining our rag tag team, whose name has yet to be determined.

Is it too late for a tentative Dartmouth team to sign up? Either we'll be there legitimately with college funding or we'll be paying out of pocket but bringing a moderator. We'd have buzzers either way.

[ThisIsMyUsername]

Not too late. Come on down.

Could the tentatives please get back to me soon and let me know what the situation is?

[Chimango Caracara]

Dartmouth is coming for sure; you should be getting the official notification tomorrow.

Dartmouth is coming for sure; you should be getting the official notification tomorrow.

Consider this official notification, though I can send an email as well if you wish.

[ThisIsMyUsername]

Nope. This is notification enough.

[Just a Guy Made Of Dots and Lines]

Looks like Hunter will be there with only 1 buzzer - I think we've lost the other set.

We'll still have one moderator.

[The Predictable Consequences]

I can bring a buzzer if needed.

[Ondes Martenot]

I'll be bringing the RPI buzzer

[Edward Powers]

Any news on how this event is going?

With eight teams, a prelim round-robin was followed by splitting into top and bottom brackets of four. House A team cleared the field (10-0).
