Both Chris and Matt have given excellent advice and I don't have a lot to add, but I'll just note that I go to Auburn and am plugged into the Southeastern circuit pretty well, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the circuit! We tend to host 1-2 college tournaments per semes...

This year's Liberty team was incredibly impressive, and I was ecstatic to be able to watch an Alabama team in the afternoon rounds. I knew they were good coming in, but I certainly wasn't plugged in enough to know they were that good. They seemed especially strong on history, with strong lit and sci...

Since most of Auburn A is eligible for this poll (Me/Jared/Zach all played PB + Spartan), I'd like to take a second to shout out my teammates.
