Loyola Ultima XVII—Saturday, December 12, 2015

Greetings Coaches!

Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL will be hosting the seventeenth mostly annual Loyola Ultima on December 12, 2015. This year for the first time we will be using the BASK set, the spiritual successor to Ladue’s annual spring tournament. BASK will be a very accessible, regular-difficulty high school set head-edited by Ben Zhang of Columbia University and written by a team consisting of Ben, Alston Boyd and Kai Smith of the University of Chicago, and Sean McBride of Cornell University.

If you wish to attend, please sign up through this form: http://goo.gl/forms/apbt0DQ7tG

The tournament will consist of at least nine (probably ten) guaranteed rounds for every team at the tournament. This means that all teams will get to play every round and everyone will have a chance to play teams of equal skill levels in the afternoon rounds. We will split into two divisions as we have in the past, a Highly Competitive Division and a Standard Division. The field cap will again be at 36 total teams due to staffing limitations. This is a four-on-four tournament with a maximum of six per team.

A and B teams will be admitted to the field first, but please do indicate your interest if you want more teams. We will place them on a standby list and if the field is not full on Nov. 28, we will admit them to the field in the order they were initially signed up.

Pizza and pop will be provided to all participants and coaches.

The cost to teams will be $80 (prior to discounts) per team.

Discounts:

-$10 per experienced staffer
-$20 for travelling greater than 100 mi. (this discount is applied once per team, not once per school)
If you have extenuating circumstances of any kind, email us and we can work something out.

Once again, please use this form (http://goo.gl/forms/apbt0DQ7tG) if you would like to join the field!

If you know of any moderators that we can contact, we are currently looking for a few more to add to our corps. Please feel free to forward this email to them, or send me their email address and we will get in touch with them.

We hope to see you December 12!
