Re: First semester college academic touraments
I think TIT is going to be in the fall, although I don't know what date Jeremy and Chris have set for that yet (if there is a date set).

Pending room reservations (the woman in charge of them is rather elusive during the summer), Harvard will be running the T Party--packet submission--on 12/6. Tournament announcement to come when said rooms come.

At least she has a corporeal form during the school year and answers her email.

Re: First semester college academic touraments
It looks pretty certain that the Valencia Delta Burke CC tournament will now be on Friday, 10/24, and Saturday, 10/25 (instead of the following weekend), sharing questions with an FSU-hosted HS tournament.

It seems that things I post at seven in the morning should be taken with a grain of salt. I had been using "found" twice and I vaguely remember thinking that I should find another verb for variety's sake. Apparently I didn't use the filters "make sure the verbs mean the same thing" and "make sure the second verb doesn't mean fuck."

Re: First semester college academic touraments
Some of us are wondering what gave you the idea that GIT at WUSTL would be on November 1? We've not announced that nor was anyone intending to.

I told Andrew that. My apologies; conversations with people at WUSTL seemed to indicate that you guys were planning to host GIT that day.allythin wrote:Some of us are wondering what gave you the idea that GIT at WUSTL would be on November 1? We've not announced that nor was anyone intending to.

Re: First semester college academic touraments
Is Rochester running an FDIC this year? It would most likely be Sep 27 if there were one, but that's a loop I'm out of.

Re: First semester college academic touraments
Given that they are four hundred miles from the nearest confirmed site, perhaps they could bid to run EFT instead of a high school tournament this year.deep_friar wrote:Is Rochester running an FDIC this year? It would most likely be Sep 27 if there were one, but that's a loop I'm out of.

Re: First semester college academic touraments
400 miles, you say? And surely every bit as easy to run...
I dunno how many of them have already figured on playing EFT, of course, but there were always plenty of house teams for the IS FDICs when I was there. It's a thought.
Now to figure out where the Rochester people have gone off to.

I stickied this because I think it's useful enough to stay right up near the top of the forum all the time.

Re: First semester college academic touraments
You can say something more definite, if you care to, about the T-Party. The date's not really tentative--if it'll be happening at all, it'll be happening then--and details should be forthcoming soon. (But details as far as packet-sub, approximately regionals-or-a-little-harder difficulty, etc. are certainly set.)

Re: First semester college academic tournaments
We could, but what we could also do is enter all the tournaments that have been announced so far into the Tournament Database. Then, you can simply filter all tournaments by the "college" level to get an up-to-date calendar.alkrav112 wrote:A bit of a necro, but can we tack on the FEUERBACH sites to this?
I will start entering some of the tournaments. Anyone else can enter them as long as you get the info correct.
