MUT Mirror at Yale (3/30/13)
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 12:37 am
On Saturday, March 30, 2013, Yale will be hosting a mirror of the Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament. This tournament is only open to undergraduates and high school students. Past MUT sets, of similar difficulty to what you should expect, can be found here: 2012; 2011; 2010. The field cap is sixteen teams.
We plan to start the tournament at 9:30 A.M.—Please try to arrive at least 15 minutes early. If there’s no possible way you can arrive on time, or if traffic or transportation problems arise, please let me know.
The tournament will be held in William L. Harkness Hall (WLH), located at 100 Wall Street, New Haven, CT. Many Yale parking lots within two to three blocks of WLH are open to the public on weekends for free, including Lots 51, 77, 78, and 78W shown here. Street parking is also available, as is garage parking in the Grove Street and Audubon Court garages, shown here.
Those arriving at New Haven Union Station can take a taxi (This will cost about $8; call 203-777-7777 if there are no cabs in sight.), walk just over a mile to campus, or ride the Yale Shuttle, which departs Union Station roughly every twenty to thirty minutes. For more information about transportation logistics, contact me at <[email protected]>.

If your expected fee would cause your team financial hardship, please also contact me.
We have one buzzer system, so we greatly appreciate you bringing yours. Similarly, outside moderators, especially graduate students who are ineligible to play, are encouraged to staff.
