As we kick off the new high school year and season, I will put out the request that I know people have been waiting for: give me your top 25 in order, 1 to 25. Teams will get 25 points for a 1st place vote, 24 for 2nd, and so on. Please indicate the state of the school when including them. Email the...

In addition to the tournaments Eric listed, University of Virginia is running a fall tournament on October 8th, and I believe they may also be hosting ACF Fall on November 5th, a tournament I highly encourage new teams to go to. Also, University of Maryland is hosting a Novice tournament on October ...

I'm asking for the time and place for the trash tournament. Will registration be at 8am Sunday in either Jimenez or the Armory? Unless I hear otherwise from Maryland, I am going to say this will be the same as VCU Open which Cody says is: We'll be meeting in Jimenez 0105. Games will start an 9 am, ...

Frater Taciturnus

Maryland has registered two teams, so the field is closed unless we find more staff.

With 11 teams we will run a full RR plus finals as necessary.

At the moment we appear to only have one existing team with an open spot, but there is still plenty of room in the field if you want to find some teammates and sign up.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

But in terms of scheduling issues, I guess I'm not sure what you're thinking of as an alternative. I'm not sure the show even could do anything but tape a handful of games every Saturday, just due to the nature of their model. I've considered this point before, and I wonder if some Richmond people ...

Due to Blue Law based regulations the school that is letting us host the tournament is not available on Sundays. We were aware of the conflict, but it was host on the same day as Maryland Spring, or don't run a tournament on the LIST set at all.

The LIST mirror will be the 21st of May at Clover Hill High School.
