Ed,
Please list the SHP Pirate Open for September 29. I will post a full announcement this weekend.

SHP Pirate

Just saw the preliminary NAQT schedule for next year. Both Livingston and Bloomfield are hosting tournaments on the same date in March? Could someone please clarify?

SHP Pirate

The Seton Hall Prep Pirate Open will be held on Saturday, September 29. We will be using an NAQT A-set with NJ/NYC/Long Island exclusivity. Full details coming soon.

SHP Pirate

Matt,

Seton Hall Prep is also planning to host an A-set in the fall. (September 29 pending a few final confirmations.). Have you been assigned a set as of yet? I would not want to take away from your field and I know that several teams from our region make the annual trip to Yale. Thanks!

SHP Pirate

SHP will have two teams for the main division. If you are in need of buzzers or moderators, please contact me off the board. E-mail to follow.

SHP Pirate

I would be happy to read for these. Also, my team(s) may be interested in playing. Let me know what happens with this.

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall received a confirmation as to our registration weeks ago yet we are not listed here.

EDIT: Thank you.

Lily ... I am so sorry for the delay. I have one team, our 4 buzzers which St. Joe's will bring, and I will be happy to mod if needed. If you need an additional team, I can scare one up by lunchtime tomorrow. Again ... I am sorry. This should even out the field at 24, correct?

SHP Pirate

SHP will have a final number this evening. I will e-mail you tonight. Sorry for the delay. St. Joe's should be bringing our four buzzers.

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall will be there! Final numbers to be determined. One moderator, four buzzers.

SHP Pirate

According to their homepage, Charter has already cancelled their dance for tomorrow. "The February 11 dance has been postponed due to the forecast of ice and snow on Saturday." I will be checking this board tonight and watching the weather/forecast. I am hoping that all will be well, but I...

SHP Pirate

Bill,
I will be happy to read for top group if needed.

SHP Pirate

Please register Seton Hall Prep for 1 varsity, 2 JV, 4 buzzers, and 1 moderator.

Thanks.

SHP Pirate

Sundays would definitely be an issue for SHP.

SHP Pirate

Sorry to hear that, Ed. I was afraid this might happen. Float some dates and let us know.

SHP Pirate

@ 2 inches here in Clifton. Roads are untreated and still snowing. I will start calling my team @ 7:00 to see what their parents think. Any more thoughts?

SHP Pirate

While I appreciate Lily's plea, I have no desire to repeat our five hour return trip from NYC to North Jersey! If you wish to wait until 5, I understand. We (SHP) are leaning toward "no", but I will wait to hear from you in the morning. Get some rest if you are able!

SHP Pirate

As we (SHP) will not be running a bus tomorrow, I am at the mercy of the parents. I will be waiting until the evening weather updates to speak with the students/parents about tomrrow. I will e-mail/call you later this evening. As of right now, we are still coming with 2/4/1.

SHP Pirate

Ed,
Accordong to the National Weather service, this may be a bit more than you indicated. Keep an eye on the forecast and get back to us this afternoon.

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall Prep will be there with at least 2/3/1. E-mail to follow.

SHP Pirate

Ed,

Please register SHP for 2/2/1. If I can add to this, I certainly will.

SHP Pirate

Inching ever closer to 100! SHP will have 2 teams, 2 buzzers, and at least one mod. I will get final numbers on Tues. AM when we return to school. I may be able to grab a 3rd team and up to 2 more experienced moderators.

SHP Pirate

ED!!! Contrary to rumours, I am alive and well. SHP, due to an unprecedented lack of team support and interest, will only be bringing one team. I will call your cell this afternoon. Mea maxima culpa, amice!

SHP Pirate

Jeff,

Any news here? We just received our invitation to HHH and it too listed IS 111 as the set. Is this accurate?

SHP Pirate

That would certainly make more sense. It would be a shame for so many teams to be forced to choose between locations when they are so close.

SHP Pirate

Why are both Millburn and Half Hollow Hills using the same set? I realize that NAQT treats NYC/Long Island and New Jersey as different geographical regions and that there are a limited number of sets, but the two schools are less than 60 miles apart. If an upstate NY team ran this packet, there woul...

SHP Pirate

SHP is interested in bringing several JV teams. We will be playing the varsity set locally next spring. If you were to change the date to January 28, we, like Kellenberg, will be unable to attend.

SHP Pirate

Stephen and the entire Hunter team,

Despite the gods conspiring against you once again, my kids had a great time. They enjoyed (what they heard of) the set and I have to admit that I heard more laughing by both students and moderators than I ever remember!

SHP Pirate

I would never think that, Ed. Perhaps the LONG commute home caused me to use quotes when I did not mean to imply anything! When NJ transit suspended service, we had to find avwayvhome before things got worse! Sorry for the confusion.

SHP Pirate

Unfortunately, we were one of those teams compelled to leave due to the weather. (4 1/2 hours from Manhattan to Clifton - less than 10 miles and still 15 miles from where we started in South Orange! Kids are in my living room, waiting for parents to get here.) We enjoyed the tournament and I know th...

SHP Pirate

Jon - please get in touch with Nigel. He was wondering if the tournament is still happening.

SHP Pirate

Please hold one spot for Seton Hall Prep. (West Orange, NJ). E-mail to follow shortly.

SHP Pirate

In that case, count us out. We already have another commitment on 11/19.

SHP Pirate

In light of the potential "invasion of Ridgewood" ... please reserve two teams/two buzzers for SHP! Final confirmation to follow ASAP.

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall Prep (West Orange, NJ) is very interested in making this trip. Is this tournament still happening?

SHP Pirate

SHP is trying to get a team or two together for this. I will have better information on Monday.

SHP Pirate

I can confirm that Jimmy, Kevin, and Akkad have all graduated. JP (a junior) should have a solid year as he will no longer be playing in Jimmy's shadow. We are definitely rebuilding this year.

SHP Pirate

Ed ... SHP will be there. Details to follow soon. At least one team, three buzzers, and one moderator.

SHP Pirate

Please register Seton Hall Prep for one team, one buzzer. Possibly more teams/buzzers to come.
E-mail to follow.

SHP Pirate

Stuck in Newark Airport! (Damn Continental!). Ed ... would you please forward my ballott to Jon or, Jon, would you give me a call? I will be here for the next several hours.

SHP Pirate

SHP will be there. One "premier" division and one "freshman" division. Hard copy of registration to follow. (If I can add teams by Monday, I will do so.)

Three buzzers and one moderator.

SHP Pirate

Ed,

The bracket for the top-16 single elimination playoff is attached to the prelim stats. (click "bracket")
I do not know the score of the Chatham game (no score posted) but I think the final round was something like 400-150.

SHP Pirate

Guy,

Do you have playoff stats?

SHP Pirate

Very well run. With two additional prelim rounds added due to last minute drops, several of us were worried about the finish time. However, the rounds progressed smoothly and on time and I heard nothing but positive comments from my students about the staff and moderators.

SHP Pirate

Final 4 ...

MAST d. East Brunswick
SHP d. Mill burn

Finals: SHP d. MAST

I will let Guy post more.

SHP Pirate

SHP will be there. Two or three teams, one moderator, four buzzers.

SHP Pirate

Please add SHP to your list. 3 teams, 4 buzzers, 1 moderator.
