Since there are classes going on, typically what has been done is that we find an empty room and use it. I can post the room number when I get there (or whoever gets there first and finds a room).

Overall I really enjoyed the myth in this tournament as I felt that there were a lot of interesting tossups that really do not show up that much. Also, the ancient history tossups were really fun to play.
