I got their check in the mail this afternoon, and they registered six teams. Maybe they're not bringing their top kids, but they ARE coming.

[Eric Huff]

We will be taking our top two teams to Princeton and sending our younger players to Robinson. Alex always puts on an awesome tournament, and we wouldn't miss it.

1. Thanks for the compliment.
2. You have enough kids for eight teams. Holy freakin' crap.

Indeed.

Does anyone know if the field for this tourney is full? If not, when would it be too late to register?

I just took over a quiz bowl team last week. It's iffy, but we might be able to make this...

[DrakeRQB]

Here's the field for Saturday's tournament:

Cannon School
Christ Church
Dorman x6
Early College of Guilford x2
Eastern Montgomery
E.C. Glass
Greensboro Day
Irmo
Nash Central
NCSSM x2
Northeast Guilford
Porter Ridge x2
Providence Day x2
Raleigh Charter x5
Richmond
St. Stephens
Thomasville
Thomas Jefferson Classical
Western Harnett

I regret that we could not allow all teams who wished to register into the tournament. We had issues coming up with staff that I hope will be rectified for our spring tournament on January 30. Anyone who wants to attend that one can go ahead and contact me about it.
