I'd say past BHSATs or other set of similar difficulty, since our target difficulty was 2020 BHSAT.

If this is a tossups-only set (which is it? I had trouble telling from the announcement) then it might be possible to fit this in to CO Weekend, but we could also be pushing it with CO Trash returning from a hiatus (and it's a full tossup-bonus set).

Thank you all very much for attending the 2022 Patriot Academic Tournament.

A minor criticism: it was quite annoying to look at the schedule and see that our round-one matchup was against Matt Weiner's team. I think it's good practice to avoid scheduling games between the top few seeds in a prelim pool in the first round if possible; it's nice to be able to shake off some ...
