Wait, I actually have to play ACF Fall now?

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

I propose that we consider running some kind of draft to get people to play with new people. You could also just hook up with another team and swap players to form two semi-new teams. I would prefer this. Anyone who wants to play with new people can simply contact said new people while other teams ...

It appears that myself, Cameron Amini, Di Xiao, and Andrej Vukovic are playing as a team (tentatively, nothing 100% confirmed yet), which I have arbitrarily decided to name the Colonel By-Lisgar Temporary Friendship alliance. We will think of a better name later. I believe the last time a unificati...

Field updated to reflect Western's attendance and Beeby being absorbed into either of the Toronto teams.

EDIT: Colonel By has registered their team too.

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

Due to the difficulty of the tournament and how much dead time there will be where English words will be just flowing over my head, I'm willing to free up the control room person so he/she can staff and I do stats as I play. I'm less keen to doing this for Sunday, though. Joke's on you, the stats p...

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

So as a field update, we currently have registered teams as : Toronto A Toronto B McGill Jay / Jordan Western Colonel By And a ghost team that may return in a totally different form and possess us : Patrick Liao et al. As mentioned in the OP, the field is capped at 9 teams. We currently only have 3 ...

I appreciate how Palmer has informed me that there is a potential boycott of my pack going on out on the Left Coast. I really hope it gets played at at least one of the sites! So long as you pay attention and can synthesize information well, I don't see why my pack needs to be that painful of an ex...

If I have a team for this (I don't right now), I'll go down and play all non-Modern World tournaments. If I go down, I'll bring the Penn buzzers. I'd encourage you to keep looking around for a team / partner for whatever events you're playing, but I can also give you a Waterloo guarantee that we'll...

Yup, I missed that. Thanks for clearing it up :)

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

I like the idea of a mid-season open-level (and open-field) tournament. Wouldn't February 21st (likely) be the Saturday of ACF Regionals, though?

Looking forward to the inevitable Canadian mirror of this

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

I will be playing this from Dubai and will likely be on Aaron Dos Remedios's team, although this is yet to be confirmed.

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

If readers are needed, I'd prefer to do that because History is the worst. If not, I will be not answering questions on one of the Canadian teams.

So are readers needed and can I moderate without currently being anywhere near North America?

Echoing the appreciation expressed by others in this thread. I thought it was a really fun tournament and had a great time. Thanks to everyone at Carleton who made this happen. We love all of you except Nick Penner. And Dante, you should know that puppies grow up. To become big dogs. With a vengeance.

Eep! Thanks to basically everyone who was at this tournament and those who could not make it due to previous commitments to their iPhones.

Echoing everyone's words here. Was a great tournament, I certainly enjoyed myself. And the field was certainly evenly matched (I believe everyone lost or came within a TU of losing to everyone else in the top bracket). Which made for a hugely enjoyable day!

Yes, Waterloo will be there with 2-3 teams. I'll personally be playing this with Aaron Dos Remedios, Shelby Robert and Dennis Beeby.

One set of buzzers from 'Loo, and maybe some staffers based on what people want to do.

I just got word that the sponsor providing the t-shirts can't do it ("they're too expensive"), so the "t-shirts" may be more figurative than really t-shirts (but like, there'll be something). Working on getting on other swag. Waterloo would like to withdraw her team in protest. ...

I think we can all agree that : Regular buzzers > BuzzBox > Slap rooms. Therefore what I'd propose is simply inform teams that they are welcome to bring their BuzzyBoos, but that they will only be used (and hence the team will only get the discount) if there aren't enough actual buzzer systems (lowe...
