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!

Is there an announcement for the WUSTL site? Could you please link announcements in this post? We are now within four weeks of the tournament. We are also coincidentally past the time my club could have requested funding for this tournament. Also the number of new people in my club, unfamiliar with...

Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce that the MOQBA Novice set will be available for mirrors nationwide (and internationally too, if there’s interest)! As the name indicates, this is going to be a novice set. We plan on aiming for the difficulty of the past several SCOP Novice sets. The set is b...

Good additions, Felix. Is Lorraine still on the FZN lineup, or did she also graduate?

I'm pretty sure Caleb, Lorraine and Emily from FZN all graduated.

Thanks, this has been fixed.

In case the printed schedules are not fixed, A9 should play A10 in round 13.

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.

Here is the information for the schedule this weekend. We will be dividing all 20 teams into 2 brackets of 10 teams each. We'll be playing 10 rounds on 10 packets. Two teams will be on bye each round; those teams on bye will be from the same bracket. For example, teams in bracket A will be on bye in...

I plan on being there, but 5 PM is super hard on people traveling. Of course, you did say times are pending... (I will have the Look at This Photograph and BUMPY II sets if people want to play those.) Yeah, I'm thinking we'll likely stick to shootout format so people can join in as they arrive. If ...

Lastly, Jacob O'Rourke has graciously assumed the post of TD for Chicago Open. All interested staffers should make sure to fill out the official staffing registration form, which will be posted soon.

Some well-deserved updates: We'll be meeting in Room 236 in the DUC. Check-in will run from 9 AM to 9:30 AM, with the aim of starting games as close to 9:30 AM as possible. I'm going to leave team signups open until Friday, June 28th at Noon Central Time. This will give me time to finalize and send ...

I'm not saying recording the discussion isn't a good idea, but don't you think this is more important than whatever side events are being run that night? I know you've apologized already, Casey, but I want to respond to this. A lot of people who would want to attend this (such as myself) have alrea...

I really want to be there, but this is unfortunately going to conflict with META and Imaginary Landscapes.

We have one more mirror this weekend at Colorado. I'll be posting the set next week.

Since NCTs run on timing, I don't think there's any actual risk of one game finishing entirely ahead of another game played on the same questions. Actually, this happens somewhat frequently, and it makes liveblogging question content for the prelims infeasible. The card system requires that game-de...

The mirror is going to be on June 29th. Expect an announcement to come by Friday or Saturday.

I was a doofus and got the date of the last Saturday in June wrong. If this would affect your participation, please let me know if reserving rooms for June 29th would cause you to not attend.

I am going to WUStL's Brown School of Social Work to get a 2-year MSW degree. Their program will allow me to reach a years-long dream of being a Professional Person Who Talks About Sex All the Time.

I too would very much like to come to a UIUC side event weekend again but would very much like it to not be the weekend after CO.

I think having a week in between side event weekend and chicago open is a good idea. Is UIUC open to doing the 17-18 of August?

So is this happening? I sadly don't have a packet but I'll definitely play; the packets announced so far all sound fun.
It is now.
