BASQUE 2006
BASQUE 2006
Does anyone have any idea whether this is going down? Has Lujan or anyone else talked with Yaphe about it?

Are you actually going though, I mean not just say you're going, but actually going? We don't see you at any tournaments at all, and wesolonqb wrote:Does anyone have any idea whether this is going down? Has Lujan or anyone else talked with Yaphe about it?
hope that you can actually come. From what I've heard, BASQUE is
happening, and so presumably is the science tourney.
Ray Luo, UCLA.
Ray, or someone else ... can you post (preferably sans grouchiness) either the basic information about BASQUE or a link to that info? Sorry for the likely redundancy -- I couldn't find it in the announcements section. I don't think I'll be in California by then, but I'm still curious about the date & location.

I hope to come, and I have a team rounded up. It depends on whether we can find transportation up to Berkeley. The school has a van for clubs, but I need to see whether it is available. Renting a car is another option.

You might try emailing Paul Lujan directly. I think few Berkeley people have come to this forum as of late, but I'm pretty sure BASQUE is happening, if UCLA is to be believed.

BASQUE 2006 took place today at Berkeley and will continue tomorrow.
Berkeley defeated Stanford 325-150 to win the Chicago Open mirror. The two teams split their matches during the double round robin. Third through fifth were Caltech and two UCLA teams, in some order I will determine when I dig out the scoresheets.
Paul Lujan went 6-0 to claim his title as King of Science Monstrosity West. The rest of the field:
Stanford A (4-2)
UCLA B (4-2)
UCLA A (3-3)
Caltech (2-4)
UCLA C (1-5)
Stanford B/UCSD (1-5)
