Re: 2020 ACF Regionals at Minnesota (01/25/2020)
Hi, just want to note that this will be taking place in Nicholson Hall, not Folwell Hall. We had a bit of an issue booking rooms this time around.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: 2019 PIANO/Minnesota Open
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the UMN site would require Illinois players for a decent field, but the OSU site wouldn't---the problem being that OSU is a slightly shorter drive from Chicago than UMN. What if the editors allow both sites, but require special approval for people trav...

Re: ACF Nationals logistics and seeding discussion
While I was generally pleased with how the tournament ran, I also do agree that the tiebreaker system was flawed - but in more ways than just one. In our prelim bracket, we finished tied with Kentucky and a staffer told us that we would be contacted to play a tiebreaker match midway through lunch. W...

With the help of Deepak Moparthi (SHS), Kevin Kodama (OPRF), Anishka Bandara (OPRF), Harrison Wang (HC),and Jakob Myers (NN), I have a compendium of teams that ...

Re: Illinois '16-'17
I think there are a couple dark horses to look out for: Fremd and Waubonsie Valley. I'm pretty sure there are no seniors on Fremd's A team, and I'm assuming Brian K will study a lot this summer and become an even stronger player for Waubonsie. Waubonsie Valley is looking to be much better this seas...

Currently, our team can't answer these questions really well, and I only have the basics covered. What would be the most efficie...

Re: IHSA 2016
I feel like this set has definitely improved from last year, with more of the general high school canon popping up in tossups, even though there were quite a bit of easy early clues dropped. Also, some of the bonuses contain a few difficulty spikes and random info (horses). Overall, I believe this s...
