Stats are now being updated after every round.

Dan-Don

DCD is out. We'll do 2 of 6 into 2 of 6.

EDIT: And Auburn just dropped. So it will be an eleven-team round robin.

Dan-Don

DCD is out. We'll do a 13-team round robin.

Dan-Don

That means we can expect CAHLFS to start around 7pm. We will play 10 rounds of tossups only. We will most definitely finish before 10. Teams should sign up for this with more conviction. After the finals are done, we will begin taking pizza orders for those who want to chip in on that (or maybe som...

Dan-Don

Yeah, this is getting pretty dumb. Here's what's happening if the field stays at 14: we're doing 2x7 into 6/4/4. Wildcat is still at 13, and it will be a full round robin. The teams that have expressed a strong preference for pool play will get one tournament that's pool play, and the teams that hav...

Dan-Don

Dorman votes for pools followed by round robin playoffs (Option B). Also preferring the second option, I suggest this counts for 4 votes, 1 for each of Dorman's players. Yes, that's fair, and in addition to this, two other teams have contacted me privately to tell me that their whole teams would al...

Dan-Don

The field is closed at 14 teams. I've updated the the original announcement post with important logistical information that you should read, including info about the big NATO summit that will be happening in Chicago during the tournament. With 14 teams and 18 packets, I'm considering two options for...

Dan-Don

I would expect the tiebreakers and finals to start between 4 and 5.

Dan-Don

Kaneland has joined both fields as the thirteenth team. This Friday (the 11th) will be the last day I accept registrations.

Dan-Don

I've just updated the field list. Just 6 spots left in each tournament.

Euler's Constant wrote:is North White an Indiana team, or something else?

It is North White the Indiana team.

Dan-Don

With the registration of North White, the field is exactly half-full. Again, we will not be able to increase past 18 teams, so get your registration in ASAP.

Dan-Don

I will be moderating for "Something Ambiguous A." Ok, I will give them the discount then. Teams "expressing interest" should register as soon as possible. I got the room reservations today, and we definitely won't be increasing the field size because we only have enough rooms fo...

Dan-Don

That arrangement sounds perfect, thanks. I'll get in touch with those people. We're adding Nolan Winkler and Ike Jose to our team.

Dan-Don

The Quest for the Historical Mukherjesus wrote:Penn would like to play. Can we find one more team?

If Mike needs one more team in order to let Penn in, Kevin Malis and I would play. We don't have a packet, but we'd be fine with paying a little bit.

Dan-Don

Station A cleared the field to win. Here are the prelim , playoffs , and combined stats. If you have any corrections, just email me, and I will do my best to fix them. If you have feedback about the tournament, please email me. If you have feedback about the question set, please email contact@olympi...

We are about to start the playoffs. The top individuals scorers from the prelims can be seen in the prelim stats . The playoff brackets are: Rahm Emmanuel: [/u] 1. Daniel Wright A 2. Station A 3. Metcalf 4. Station B 5. Washington 6. St. Raymond A Charlton Heston: [/u] 1. Daniel Wright B 2. Prairie ...

Stats are now up. Don't forget to check out the livestream as well.

Dan-Don

Begging the question, who is playing in the top room? With a tourney of this size, I reckon more teams than not won't see this room. Well, by top room, I mean that it is a regular room for the preliminary rounds (i.e. it will have a balance of teams from one of the preliminary brackets). In the aft...

Dan-Don

Thanks to Victor from Slam-In, matches from the top room will be streamed live with a scoreboard over the Internet. This stream will not have any sound, however, as Olympia's ACF Set #4 is not cleared. To see it, go here.

Dan-Don

Yes, final placement within preliminary pools will be determined by W-L record within the pool, and then PPG in case of ties. The championship pool will consist of the 5 teams that came in first in their preliminary pools, as well as the team that came in second in their preliminary pool with the hi...

Dan-Don

DCC officially registered, so there's 11 spots left in this field, as well as the Wildcat field.

Dan-Don

It doesn't? A 7-team RR takes 7 rounds, with each team playing 6 matches. A 6-team RR takes 5 rounds, with each team playing 5 matches. And then Charles has some sort of system worked out to get lower bracket teams to 11 matches (see above). Isn't that 7 rounds + 5 rounds = 12 rounds, and 6 matches ...

Dan-Don

So the two options are: 1. 2 of 7 into 6/4/4. That takes 12 rounds and guarantees 11 matches. 2. 2 of 7 into 2 of 7. That takes 14 rounds and guarantees 12 matches. I would say we should definitely do the first one since it will get us out 2 rounds sooner and still be a fair format that doesn't invo...

Dan-Don

Here's what I know. UIC asked me if Rom could play, so I sent an email to Eric asking if that would be ok. I didn't hear back, and then a day or two later Charles Martin told me that Sorice got permission from Eric to play the tournament provided his team was ineligible to win. (I took this mean tha...

Dan-Don

Full prelim , playoff , and combined stats are up. The playoff stats represent the actual order of finish, except for the top 3 teams, which goes: 1. Chicago A 2. Michigan A 3. Minnesota A. (Illinois B was ineligible to win the tournament.) The combined stats include the play-in game and the champio...

Dan-Don

Chicago A won. Check those earlier links for stats. I'll post combined stats later.

Dan-Don

Michigan A and Chicago A are about to start a one-game final. (Chicago A beat Minnesota A in a play-in game to get here.)

Dan-Don · Re: Penn Bowl @ Northwestern (2/11/12) Playoffs are starting.

Playoffs are starting.

Dan-Don

I'll do my best to update the stats after every round.

Dan-Don

We're down to one team due to weather. We're not sure about the remaining team. All right then we will scrap the scab team, and this will be a 20-team tournament. 2 brackets of 10 into 5 of 4 with the prelim match carrying over. If Michigan State cancels their other team, the scab team will be back...

Dan-Don

I got the packets from Joe yesterday, and I'll distribute then via flash drive to whoever wants to stick around for this.

Dan-Don

DePauw just dropped, but Michigan D joined. The current plan is to have a house team and a scab team. If anyone else needs to drop, please let me know ASAP. I have 20- and 22-team plans in case that happens.

Dan-Don

Loyola Academy just dropped for the second time. I don't know if there will be enough extra players to make two scab teams, but I think we can field a house team if need be.

Dan-Don

I'm having no problems setting up my tournament, but if I close SQBS and then try to come back to my tournament later, SQBS crashes or just otherwise can't seem to open it. edit: Ben figured out that this is a small bug: you can't save a tournament unless the teams have players on them and are sorte...

Dan-Don

WUSTL B just dropped, so if someone wants to take that spot, it's all theirs. If not, we will form a scab team on Saturday morning.

Dan-Don

If you are attending this tournament, please don't forget to enter your rosters here by Thursday night. If your rosters change after you fill it out, just email me or fill the form out again. If you are unsure about how much you owe, or you need a new invoice, email me ASAP. And in case people didn'...

Dan-Don

So I sent an email to this effect, but I'll post here too: this has been canceled. I'll make sure we can have a few rooms if people want to play the packets informally after the conclusion of Penn Bowl proper.

Dan-Don

So I think we're probably just going to keep the rooms open and let teams play the packets however they want, for free. But, I was just emailing with Delano Barnes, who said that if we wanted to have a Sunday trash tournament, the Bayou-a-Drank/Trashmasters set is still available and likely wouldn't...

Dan-Don

Yeah, I should address the issue of cost. If people want to do this as a free event, I won't be sticking around (no matter how badly you want to see my Marles Chartin impression, Mike Cheyne), and I don't know how successful I'd be in encouraging the other Northwestern staffers to stick around and m...

Dan-Don

Joe Nguyen offered me 8 packets of unedited Penn Bowl Trash. I'm going to go ahead and assume that no one will want to play this on Sunday, but Andrew Hart suggested to me that people would perhaps want to play just the tossups on Saturday night. Thoughts?

Dan-Don

I've contacted Joe Nguyen. Hopefully he'll post here or give me a message that I can relay.

Dan-Don

Is there going to be some way concerned people can get assurance about this (and, although it's much less important, trash) not being as terrible as the one this weekend was rumored to be? Eric sent me an email this afternoon to assure me that we "will receive a heavily edited 14-packet tourna...

Since we are on the waitlist, can we have the spot?

Oh yeah. Sorry I forgot about that. The spot's all yours.

Oh, ok. I'm sending a new invoice now.

Dan-Don

Michigan State has signed up, so the field is now closed. I may expand it to 12, so if you want to get on the wait list, let me know.

Dan-Don

New Trier has joined both fields. Keep registering!
