Aaaand I reread and notice the "doubles" part. fail, self. Ah. No worries. As stated in the original post, we will possibly allow teams of three, but that's only once 18 teams/36 people are fulfilled. And, the addition of a third player won't result in a complete powerhouse being created....

Something of a time/date for this thing should be decided. Who's in charge of that? Jerry. I don't know much about the organization of side events at CO, but I think it might be possible that exact times on them aren't set; as in, "Okay we're gonna play at the end of the day on Saturday" ...

He was never particularly dominant, nor did he ever put up huge numbers, but I think Jordan Hoffmann of Auburn deserves to be mentioned.

Yeah, congrats to Lisle and Stevenson. I didn't see the former, but Zach (and the Stevenson team in general) played very well in the final against us.

I always assumed that in his signature, "LPHS" was just a really improbable mistyping of "IMSA" since he has posted about IMSA a few times and posted once from an imsa.edu IP at like 3:30 in the afternoon. Other theories are that he's an LPHS student who just really likes IMSA q...

Cavs vs. Bulls seems like the way to go on Friday.

Seriously though, if you want to see a team in order to prepare/gauge for next year, watch Stevenson. They'll be returning the same team next year, minus Julia.

While I don't foresee any problem with you running this event, typically these kinds of things are coordinated with the tournament director and other people who also want to run side events.

Actually, not quite - the blurt rule was to prevent kids from saying the answer before the moderator recognized their buzz .
