Unfortunately I couldn't get many people who wanted to do this and defend our title, lot of tests going on right before Thanksgiving, but I'll be there with a buzzer and laptop.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

it's been a while sooo....anybody got some quick results?

Zip Zap Rap Pants

In case you were wondering, we'll have just one team for this, two buzzers, maybe a moderator.

William & Mary is officially claiming February 13th for a high school tournament of some sorts (details forthcoming). Derek Cox Memorial Open may be the name choice if he brings home defensive ROY.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

So maybe I missed it somewhere, but what exactly is the UT-K tournament going to be? Is that a qualifier for ICT as well or just a dead end prize for winning your ACUI i.m. tournament (and therefore a "national" tournament for i.m. winners)? Is it using some separately written NAQT set? I ...

Hey I had an idea the other day in practice. In order to quell balance complaints/NAQT rebellion somewhat, in the next tournament we host I was thinking we might read all 24 tu's if we do NAQT, then if there's overtime, do penalty kick style OT. Each team answers one 30-point bonus until there's a ...

Will be there with a DII team, two buzzers, and a staffer.

Why W&M still gets a question mark I'll never know.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

W&M will be there with two buzzers, two teams, and probably a staffer. Also will have UVA's buzzers to return

Zip Zap Rap Pants

UVA: if you ever want to see you buzzers (or children) again then you will host this mwhahaha!

Hey sorry but we just can't make it this weekend. Would have loved to help break our old mark of 22 teams, as people mentioned.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

William & Mary will definitely be there with one team (and hey, we may actually have working buzzers!) If nothing else I'll be there, so Cameron-Mehdi-George-Matt quadruple RR ftw!

Zip Zap Rap Pants

If someone mirrored this in North Carolina (ie the Research Triangle), that would be awesome. I think few teams would have a conflict about which site to go to plus Princeton is kind of prohibitively far for us given that we'd have to spend the night (which leads to WAY less interest).

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Swarthmore if we can gather enough interest and if there's drunk basketball

Zip Zap Rap Pants

So, are you saying you'll put us up for free? Also, will you be providing any Feldman at this afterparty? I highly doubt that Brandeis would go to Swarthmore instead of Harvard, though clearly I no longer speak for the club. Brandeis tells me they're coming to Harvard, though Feldman is free to def...

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Hey what date is this again? I'll probably be on spring break but just checking.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Yeah my apologies for my choice of words, I mean not to call out the 1-2 people who set up the buzzer there as idiots, just that if they literally threw the system on the ground, that's pretty stupid. I don't know what the deal with that system really was, but my putting the Knot there as backup was...

Complete DI stats posted, follow the same link. Also, I have a scoresheet from a scrimmage game between Delaware and Wake Forest that won't be in the stats (there was only one complete scrimmage game as in round two of the playoffs Maryland played the packet by themselves and in round three SVU went...

Zip Zap Rap Pants

I prefer staff with multiple tournaments' experience moderating over ones with 0-1. Also, the only time I sent people home was when we had at least two for each room; the only people without scorekeepers were Chris Dao briefly because Dr. Hollis decided to take a break out of the blue, but that was ...

Hey thanks for showing up and all.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Also, it's not a huge deal, but we only have the rooms till 6, and as it stands now, we have EXACTLY the right number of moderators and scorekeepers with a 3 player house team. Things are tight with Tech's team playing, so I'm worried about some house volunteers leaving after 6 (actually the plan no...

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Okay so Tech will now activate its auxiliary DI team, with W&M going down to Division II. Double RR and then 3 rounds of playoffs is the current plan.

Edit: Also, Dr. Chuck, are you still coming?

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Unfortunately GMU unexpectedly dropped, so it's 5-7 in DII for now. I should hear from Wake within 12 hours. Also, can UNC please stop being anti-social and holla back! Please contact me and let me know your plans ASAP. Edit: err hey forgot to mention way back my number is 804-909-7565 hit me up if ...

Zip Zap Rap Pants

OUT OF NOWHERE my prayers are answered and SVU registers a DI UG team - this proves God exists, QED you fools. Problem is it might also mean we have to all read the book of Mormon, shoot. :kenj: Anyway it looks like our house team will in all likelihood play DI now, especially if Jon is playing (it'...

Registration is 8:15-9 at Morton 20 and the field is, well, still up in the air: EDITED - FINAL COUNT: DI VCU (UG) Wake Forest (UG) Delaware UMD A SVU (UG) VA Tech A (UG?) DII UVA UMD B Roanoke VA Tech B Georgetown W&M We could REALLY use some DI UG teams right now, so that I'd be justified in h...

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Hey William & Mary should have a team for this, no discounts though as our buzzers are broken.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Don't forget also that just because a player is DII eligible doesn't mean they HAVE to play there, so if you have two DI players you could always have two more with DII eligibility play with them and still field a second, DII team (well, if you have enough willing people, that is...)

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Yeah there are probably a few individual stat mistakes - I know I had one power against Penn, no big though.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Not really except a shaky possibility of one GWU DI open team. And of course UVA as Will posted. Oh and if the field's small it's pretty apparent now we have enough for a house team (DII).

Speaking of North Carolina teams, what's up with Duke going to UGA's site? lamesauce

Meant to post this a while ago:

at ACF Winter -
Given: Stanford Prison Experiment
Answer: Malice in the Palace (the Ron Artest brawl)

Next tossup: Philip Zimbardo

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Never too late as long as the field is this small, in fact, it'd be nice if possibly you could have less moderators and a second team instead (but I know this may/may not be feasible depending on your situation).

Hey so I just got the rooms confirmed and thankfully it's a bit more than I thought, 14, so our hard and fast field cap is 28, but right now it appears we won't reach that unless teams really start signing up en masse.

Lakeside High School, 1 team (Div II) Can high schools play in the ICT? Under NAQT Eligibility rules they aren't even allowed to play SCT, but I am assuming they are allowed to play in the way that mixed teams can play ACF events, not eligible for the top bracket or any titles. Yeah but that would ...

George Mason will send one team. I guess this answers the email I sent you. Oh wow sorry I didn't know you'd sent me one, it's not in my inbox. Occasionally that happens with the WM email server though, it's pretty lame. I have gotten one email from Delaware though, so in case anyone is wondering a...

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Well, considering that NAQT asked me what maximize field size would be (and, it seems, factored that into the decision to have the Pitt SCT), I don't think they'll scream bloody murder at the fact that I didn't keep the field cap a secret until 7 days prior to the tournament. I mean, a lot of times ...

Guess who’s back?

Sadly I have to cancel this tournament due to lack of interest and the fact that our statistician has quit the club (I was really counting on him to set up the real time Swiss program etc). We have only 8 teams confirmed as coming (the same as last post plus three from TJ) and six more possible: Wal...

That's why I'm always afraid VCU will come to a tournament one day with all the best MLW players on their team and pwn pwn pwn.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

Has there been any email to teams in the area (NC/VA/WV, maybe beyond) specifically about this tournament? At least in my experience, that would almost certainly increase the number of teams coming.

Completely unrelated to the tournament, what is this laptop system? I remember it working terribly slowly when it was used at Gov in winter of '05. But that was a long time ago.
