Unfortunately, this tournament has been cancelled due to a lack of people signed up. :(

wd4gdz

If you are interested in attending, please register ASAP. The deadline to register is Tuesday, June 25 at 3pm eastern. At that time, we can determine if there's enough people to warrant running the event.

wd4gdz

If things go well at this tournament, and no one else in the southeast wants to run it, maybe I can try to run it in late August.

Seth Kendall and I are looking for at least one more teammate. Please message me if you're interested.

wd4gdz

In case anyone is confused, I imagine the date of the tournament is actually October 6, seeing as that's what it says in another thread and the fact that September 6 is a Thursday.

Thank you Chris for hosting and everyone who read. It's a real bargain to attend a tournament for only $60 a team, especially one that provides some breakfast items, lots of drinks, and pizza for lunch.

wd4gdz

A team of me and the Douglasses (Eric and Bryn) is looking for a fourth player, who, ideally, is good at video games, comics, and/or non-old music. Message me or them if you're interested.

Kevin Marshall and I have two spots available on our team if anyone is interested.

I like having something to read in the 2017 Delta Burke discussion forum (in addition to the E/Z correction), but I'm also reminded of something Chris Ray recently said: "...I've noticed a bit of a trend in these threads where people who demonstrably do not know a category very well will declare whe...

Have the packets been sent out?

wd4gdz

This is a reminder that the packet-submission deadline is coming up in a week and a half. If you're an open team and want a bit of an extension on submitting, please email the tournament editors. For open teams, do packets have to submitted by Oct 1, or can packets be submitted by Oct 22 for no dis...

It's awesome to hear you have lined up so much staff.

wd4gdz

I wonder if 18 would be a better number to cap the field since we'll probably need people on byes to read.

wd4gdz

Just for the record, I definitely never thought Peter would cheat or anything like that. I was just wondering what would happen if, say, I was playing Peter's team, and there was a protest, how that would get resolved since he was the TD.

Who will be the TD for the NASAT mirror?

Could someone please post the bonus with the "To His Excellency, General Washington" part? Thanks!

If none of the teams participating submitted a packet, would it be better to have 8 or 10 teams instead?

I'm looking for teammates. Contact me if you're interested.

I'll be my usual defensive self and respond to your comments about some of my questions: Assassinating JFK - "This struck me as kinda hard" What is hard? The answer line, or the clues, or...?

Alex can't come, so the Billy Beyer/Jeb Houston/Nick Collins team is looking for a fourth. Please contact me if you're interested.

Is there demand and/or room availability for a full weekend of events? (i.e. COTTAGE Bowl 2 trash tournament, Christmas Present beliefs and thoughts tournament, and Eyes That Do Not See visual art tournament)

I think it'd be very likely that a south(east) mirror to have 6-8 teams. You mentioned last year's George Oppen at Alabama as evidence for a south(east) mirror this year being an "undesirable situation." However, that tournament, at one point, had 8 teams interested and/or registered, and had a 4 te...

Why would you assess the potential size of a Skype mirror before assessing the potential size of a south(east) mirror? What exactly needs to happen for you to consider allowing a south(east) mirror? "Skype is denigrated as a platform for official competition of any kind, due to the inherent likeliho...

I'm not sure if a college tournament has ever ended before 4pm, so is there a backup plan in case we're in the middle of round 8 and campus security comes and kicks us out?

I have no idea what time Tulane has the rooms reserved until, but would people be interested in some sort of mini-tournament afterwards?

Do people think the way this tossup (from ACF Regionals 2015) begins is okay? "Cristobal de Morales composed a work in this genre..." I think it's okay because there's clearly stuff after the ... that gives you more info and the ability to buzz definitively. Sure, you could buzz prematurely and have...

This color partly names an Henri [ahn-REE] Matisse painting that was inspired by a trip to Biskra and depicts a reclining nude woman. In a series called Anthropometries, naked women covered in a shade of this color named for Yves Klein made imprints of themselves on canvas. Jonathan Buttall wears c...

I really enjoyed the set; one question sticks out to me though. The tossup on a colour (blue, I think? or green?) begins with a clue about a Matisse work being partially titled for "this color", and had I not been beaten to the buzzer (with a neg) I would have negged with red ("Dessert: Harmony in ...

If the field stays at seven teams, I will join Jake's team so that we have a nice number.

Sorry if I missed a post about this, but will the packets be posted online soon?

I would like to sign up, if it's not too late.

wd4gdz

Please sign me up as a team. Thanks!

P.S. I am looking for teammates

edit: I am now playing with the La Tech team.

I would like to register one team (probably me playing solo) for this tournament, please.

Thanks!

It seems like a lot of people in this thread have been saying things like "Some reform is certainly needed" but I haven't really seen any concrete examples (sorry if I missed them!), just bashing of Andrew's original post.

I can't top Alaska to Atlanta, but I once drove ~1,000 miles from Tallahassee to Ann Arbor for 2006 ACF Nats, ~900 miles from Tallahassee to College Park for 2006 ICT, and ~800 miles from Tallahassee to St. Louis for 2008 ICT.

I have all the scoresheets from the Valencia mirror. In the upcoming days/weeks, I will be posting some tossup and bonus stats that could be useful in making minor edits to the set for upcoming mirrors.
