Re: 2011 PACE NSC Hotels and Transportation information
This was roughly the same era. I traveled a lot when I lived in the city, and when I stood in the queue for a taxi I always had to tell the dispatcher that I need a taxi that accepted credit cards. Perhaps that has now changed. Currently, all Chicago taxis (including every cab in the official taxi ...

Re: 2008 HSNCT Live Coverage and Comments
That MLK Magnet A / Charter A (335-325) match had to be awesome. Being the one brilliantly competitive game in my room, it was indeed quite awesome. MLK was down by 220 (or maybe it was 230?) after question 15 (and probably 5 minutes left?). IIRC, Dallas got at least 6 of the next 7 tossups (possib...

Theoretically the NAQT state championship tournament could be moved from April to March 1, then move the invitational to sometime in April. You mean moving it to February 23 in place of the current tournament, right? When I looked at the schedule and noticed a slew of state championships on March 1...

I can assure you, positively, that IS-74 has the least amount of overlap for us. Even it has a bit too much, but switching right now would be an absolute impossibility.
