First off, if any moderators are reading this, can I change my handle to something more descriptive like "ChathamNJ"? I seem to be able to edit everything else, but my current name no longer seems appropriate. If Kellenberg is the only nearby school who has heard IS-64, I will wait to see ...

Thanks for the info about the Delaware tournament - I did not know that, and will look into the possibility of switching back to IS-64. As for the issue of different teams from the same school attending different tournaments, I will plead trust and newbie-ism to the activity. More specifically, if S...

I suppose power matching would achieve the same goal, but that's not something I'm willing to try in our first-ever tournament.

We will feature three divisions of prelim play: a Premier division for elite teams (all teams advance to playoffs), a Main division for the masses (top teams advance to the same playoffs), and a Freshman divi...

I'm a new guy here, have been lurking for a while. Coach in NJ, not very active, just curious about those who are intense about this activity so I read these discussions now and again. FWIW, I thought the original post was hilarious. Here's a dude who took a satirical swipe at the economics he's lea...
