You're posting at 6:46 p.m. Teams were to be there at 8:40 a.m. At some point, it's not leaving early, it's just leaving. Fred, I like and respect you, and a lot of what you do. However, this is just not fair to Chandler and Auburn, considering the 3 teams left before 5 PM, which is ridiculous (bar...

A few updates, some of which are long overdue: 1. This tournament is going to be a platinum qualifier for the PACE NSC, so the top 25% of the field will qualify for nationals. With the current field of 36 teams, that would be the top 9. 2. The current field has been updated to indicate teams eligibl...

I very much agree with this, as someone who lives in a state that does a lot of business with NAQT.

Just curious, what divisions of the high school field played CALISTO?

Out of curiosity, what does this mean?

He's editing any law-related history questions (for example, he edited the Miranda v. Arizona tossup in WHAQ III).

What current house write set would this be most similar in difficulty to? user reminded to add signature -mgmt An excellent question! After discussing it with our writing and editing team, the set has played for most teams like an IS set, so we agree that WHAQ III is the closest house write to matc...

My apologies for the very late wrap-up post, but here it is (it was sent out via email a few days after the tournament).

This definitely strikes me as something that should be decided by the TD, as Eugene and Eric have already said. I disagree with the idea that we need to shame teams, though, for attending tournaments, whatever the reason, since this is already something that doesn't happen very often. Local-only tou...

Lots of great teams will be in attendance at Washington University Fall this weekend, including several nationally-ranked teams. I'm excited to see how teams from Missouri will measure up against our out of state friends.

This tournament is a platinum qualifier for the NSC, which means that the top 25% of teams will qualify for the 2020 NSC, which is being held on the weekend of June 6th-7th at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, IL (which is a suburb of Chicago).

After looking through the progress of the set and talking to MOQBA President Jeff Hill, we've made the call to postpone this set's availability until the 2020-2021 season.

Since I can't think of any reason why this shouldn't be posted here, check-in will be in Violette Hall room 1000. Check-in will run from 8AM to 8:45 AM, and we'll plan to start play by 9 AM.

See you all on Saturday!

I emailed this announcement to coaches, but I forgot to post this here before now: Due to a lack of available rooms, I am not comfortable expanding the tournament to 48 teams, so we'll be sticking with a 36 team field.

1992 in spaceflight

We have one spot left in the WUFAT field. Once the field fills, we will start a waitlist, so there's a decent chance teams on the waitlist will still get to play. I'm looking forward to receiving more registrations soon!

Will the info about where to meet/when be sent out or posted?

I did kind of bury it in that email, so sure. Check-in will be from 8 AM to 8:45 AM in Room 2343 in Kresge Hall. The plan is to start at 9 AM or earlier if teams are there before then.
