I'm interested in playing this tournament. Given the difficulty of the set, I am looking for teammates.

Re: Sack of Antwerp mirror @ U. Delaware, 3/12/11
Normally this would be at the edge of our non-nationals range but there's a good chance I'll be going to Delaware next year for grad school and I haven't visited UD yet, plus we have plenty of money left this year to spend on a hotel, so W&M is tentatively down for this.

For parking - I strongly suggest parking in the Trabant parking garage. It's one block from the tournament and the whole day's parking should run you about $5. (Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... z=16%20%20)

Re: Sack of Antwerp mirror @ U. Delaware, 3/12/11
Just realized I'll be only an hour and a half away as this is happening the day after I get home for spring break. I'd be quite happy to join you (if you still need teammates), though I can't promise I'll be much help.Pilgrim wrote:I'm interested in playing this tournament.

Re: Sack of Antwerp mirror @ U. Delaware, 3/12/11
I hate to say this but turns out March 12th is the 2nd to last day of spring break so it'll be hard to muster up anyone. I should keep track of these things now that I'm not a student. I personally might still be able to come up, we'll see.
Edit: Yeah work is keeping me out of this unfortunately and Spring Break is keeping everyone at W&M out.

Its kind of sad that I have to pick between showing up to either this or IO due to my exam schedule. I guess I'll figure it out.

This tournament's happening in a little more than a week, so anyone else who wants to register should do so soon.

I will be playing this tournament with any interested Richmonders. There will likely be space for others on my team, so you should contact me at [email protected] if you need a team, especially if you know science.

Again, just a final call for anyone who wants to play, it'd be great if there were a few more teams in the field. We'll probably field a house a team just to boost that number.

Penn won't be there aside from me and Ming. We are looking for teammates.

Re: Sack of Antwerp mirror @ U. Delaware, 3/12/11
Given that the field for this (with the exception of Maryland) appears to essentially be a conglomerate of free agents, I think a draft might be a good idea to try to get as even of games as possible. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Re: Sack of Antwerp mirror @ U. Delaware, 3/12/11
We should have enough staff on hand to form a house team (if there's an odd number of teams) or to supply some free agents to teams that are under strength (if there's an even number of teams).
Sounds like a good idea to me.Pilgrim wrote:Given that the field for this (with the exception of Maryland) appears to essentially be a conglomerate of free agents, I think a draft might be a good idea to try to get as even of games as possible. Anyone else have an opinion on this.

I think I mentioned this to somebody, but Maryland will definitely have two teams.

Preliminary results: in a thrilling quadruple round robin, Weiner and friends won with an 11-1 record; full stats should be posted soon. Thanks to everyone who played today!
