SHP will definitely have two teams, two buzzers, and one reader. If the field permits, I would like to increase the registration to four teams.

Bill,

I am sorry that I have not been in touch - I will explain later. I would love to bring 2 varsity and 2 jv teams. I will be glad to read for the day and bring 2 or 3 buzzers as well. I am away until Monday, but I will e-mail you at that time. Let me know if you still have openings.

SHP Pirate

As always ... SHP will be there!

SHP Pirate

You MAY run into an issue with February 13. As Monday, February 15 is President's day, a number of schools may be on vacation. (However, you can never make everyone happy!)

Seton Hall Prep will be there!

SHP Pirate

Due to Thomas Jefferson's last minute switch to this set, unfortunately, SHP will not be able to come. Good luck, though!

SHP Pirate

SHP is still interested. Do you think that you will have a field?

- MTZ

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall Prep is VERY interested in coming. Would you please "reserve" us a spot? I will give a definite answer by this time tomorrow.

SHP Pirate

Aaron,

Please add Seton Hall Prep to the list. Definitely 1 team, 2 buzzers, and 1 moderator. I may be able to bring up to 3 additional teams. (I am beating the bushes this weekend!)

SHP Pirate

Please put SHP down for three teams and two buzzers. E-mail to follow this weekend.

SHP Pirate

Assuming that the weather cooperates, SHP will be there in force.

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall Prep will most likely attend. (Registration has been sent.)

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall Prep will be there with one team and one buzzer. (Registration to follow on Monday.)

Three dates between September and December. (12 packets per "A" set, 4 games per date) Personally, I would like to have the three dates be late September (before Princeton), late October (after Kellenberg), and either right before or right after Thanksgiving. For the Spring league, assumin...

SHP Pirate

Not really the place for this, but I will "float" it here until I am ready for a formal announcement. SHP will be hosting a North Jersey League this fall. I have already spoken with NAQT about using an "A" packet which will not be played anywhere in this area durnig the fall. (87...

SHP Pirate

As soon as you finalize a date, let me know. Seton Hall Prep will be there.

SHP Pirate

If I can get someone to cover for me, SHP will be there. We are hosting our Open House on October 25 and I will need to be at school on Thursday.

SHP Pirate

With all due respect to Ed, but the Westchester leagues are Chip territory. I do not think that you will have too great a conclict should you cross-schedule. (Excepting St. Joe's, of course!) We at Seton Hall Prep are always looking for a tournament!

SHP Pirate

I realize that this may not belong here (moderators ... feel free to post it where you think it best applies) but ... Last year, Chip announced that, because the DC phase of the tournament was so large, the final of DC was, in fact, the first NATIONAL semifinal. The losing team automatically finishe...

SHP Pirate

The "St. Joseph's" playing in Chicago is from NJ. They play mostly NAC but have ventured into NAQT this year. They won the NJ State Championship tournament and, in my opinion, are a very solid team. They could easily win the Chicago phase of the tournament. We at Seton Hall, after three co...

Quick results ... I will let Stephen (and others) post more in greater detail. Semifinal 1: Millburn d. ? (I think that it was Stuy but I am not sure.) Semifinal 2: Kellenberg d.

SHP Pirate

Two (2) or three (3) buzzers.

Put us down for 1 premier, 2 regular (I can push it to 3), and one freshman team (which I can expand to 2). I will have final numbers tomorrow.

- MTZ

SHP Pirate

SHP is coming. I will have one "premier" division team, two or three "regular" teams, and one or two "freshman" teams. I will e-mail final paperwork either tomorrow or Friday. Also, I have 2/3 buzzers and, as always, I will be happy to read!

Pax,

Michael

SHP Pirate

Congratulations to St. Joe's! I cannot say that I am entirely surprised. St. Joe's is a solid team who plays the vast majority of their matches in NJ and NY. I think that everyone (myself included) crowned BCA as champs long ago. This just goes to prove that any team on any day ... I wish that we ha...

Aaron, Contact me off the board. There is a school in the area (Doldgeville SP?) which hosts an annual tournament called "Geek Wars". That might be a good place to start. Also, in the Ithaca area there are a number of teams playing in an annual tournament hosted at Tompkins Cortland Commun...

SHP Pirate

Coaches, Unfortunately, due to staffing problems, SHP will not be able to host the 2009 NJ NAQT State Championship tournament. We had hoped to use April 25 as our alternate date but, due to unavailabilty of students, that date is no longer viable. I apologize to all of the coaches who have been in l...

SHP Pirate

Jon,

I never received your e-mail. We will not be bringing a check with us. I will have the business office process one as soon as possible.

Any chance you have room for a third SHP team?

Quick results from Livingston ...

Bergen County Academies A d. Seton Hall A in 1st semifinal (280-245)
Millburn A d. East Brunswick A in 2nd semifinal (score unknown)

Bergen A d. Millburn A in final (score unknown)

I will let the Livingston staff post the details.

SHP Pirate

URGENT MESSAGE ...

Due to a water-main break beneath the school, we regretfully must postpone/cancel the tournament for tomorrow. I will be in touch with all coaches via e-mail this weekend to propose an alternate date this spring.

Thank you for your understanding.

Pax,

Michael T. Zinsmeister

SHP Pirate

Final e-mails have been sent to coaches. If there are any last minute questions/changes, please let me know asap.
See you on Saturday!

- MTZ

SHP Pirate

Put SHP down for 2 teams. We may have more teams for the waitlist soon.

- MTZ

SHP Pirate

Keep me posted. A few of my players are interested in doing this and I would certainly be happy to serve as "adult chaperone"/moderator.

- MTZ

SHP Pirate

We now need 1 additional team. (I REALLY do not want to try to run this with 29 teams!)

If there is any new team interested OR if any registered school would like to bring an additional team, please let me know.

SHP Pirate

Look back a few posts. In addition, I sent an e-mail to all coaches today regarding format/times/etc.

So ... to revive the New York/New Jersey discussion ... After having read all ten rounds at BATE yesterday, a few observations ... 1. Hunter A is BY FAR in a league of their own. 2.

SHP Pirate

Great to hear! When at Phillipsburg a few weeks ago, several of the coaches and I encouraged teams to utilize hsquizbowl.org. A number of them told me that they had never heard of the site. Perhaps we, as the NJ coaches, can convince everyone to post on this site. Unfortunately, there are NUMEROUS t...

SHP Pirate

The date was made public. The misconception about a "good-old-boys" network is simply that ... a misconception. My concern with BOAT is the track record of Bergen. (Not with any individual team member.) Last year's event was cancelled. (We, SHP, ran the event instead.) This year, the team ...

OK ... Seton Hall Preparatory School (West Orange, NJ) will be hosting the NJ State Championship tournament on March 21, 2009. (All approvals were given today.) Assuming that I have a snow-day tomorrow, I will start working on the details and try to post here by the end of the week.

Yes. SHP is hosting the NAQT NJ state championships. Ignore the NAQT website. It will either be held on March 21 or April 4. In addition, we are planning to offer discounts to teams planning to attend BOTH our tournament and Livingston. Hopefully, by the middle/end of this week, I will post a formal...

Hunter will be fine post-Guy. Do not forget East Brunswick in NJ this year. (They finished tied for 11th last year at HSNCT and looked rather strong a Rutgers last fall, losing only to Watson/Bergen.) As an aside (and I do realize that this post is not in the right place) Seton Hall Prep will be hos...

SHP Pirate

I did reply over a week ago. Seton Hall Prep is in for four teams and three buzzers. I will e-mail Alan again this week.
