Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
We'll be there with 1-2 teams.
EDIT: Or will we? This seems to be the same day as DWI. Should this tournament perhaps be moved to a different date?

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
Yeah, we're going to change the date of this since it's currently on our Spring Break anyway. Will get back to you soon, probably after Penn Bowl.

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
If DWI is actually canceled, it seems like 3/5 would certainly be the preferable date to host this mirror - is that just not a possibility for you guys?

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
I am probably attending this tournament as a free agent, and possibly playing solo.

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
There is now a finite possibility of me coming to this and, by the looks of it, playing solo. Can we get some sense of a field update?

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
We'd really like to go, I presume on this date, but can we get a confirmation that it's actually happening?

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
I'd like to have time to make plans for transportation, so I'll echo Chris and ask if someone from Penn can confirm this tournament is taking place.

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
It's almost certainly not going to be able to occur on 3/5 due to Spring Break. I will update this later today once a more suitable date has been found.

Any word on this? I need to decide whether to go to the main site or not.Lapego1 wrote:It's almost certainly not going to be able to occur on 3/5 due to Spring Break. I will update this later today once a more suitable date has been found.

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
Hey so I emailed Mehdi a long time ago (Thursday) and have tried to get Eric to get in touch with him about this. Needless to say, I think its inappropriate to leave me or the community hanging about this with such short time left.
At this point, I'm going to assume there is no tournament at Penn and am soliciting for a delayed mirror at another site on the east coast. If you are interested in mirroring this let me know, otherwise I'll email people later in the week.

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
Can I just point out how thoroughly unacceptable it is for the ostensible TD of this tournament to completely fail to either post in the tournament thread or to respond to inquiries? This is part of an unfortunate trend I've been observing lately with tournament organizers dropping the ball on, you know, actually organizing the tournament, and it needs to stop.

For whatever it's worth, I'll put in a vote for March 19th here, assuming MUT isn't running that day.

If memory serves, we were at W&M that MUT is in fact happening at Maryland on March 19.Cernel Joson wrote:For whatever it's worth, I'll put in a vote for March 19th here, assuming MUT isn't running that day.

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
Yeah, I just put our announcement up - as mentioned there, if Penn isn't able to host this event, we could look into hosting it on Sunday as a combo deal with MUT.

Re: IO Mirror at Penn (3/5/11)
I'm on spring break the 3rd week of March, so If this tournament were mirrored at UMD on Saturday the 19th or Sunday the 20th I would play.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure UVA would bring a team to both events.

Someday, perhaps we shall learn the truth-value of this proposition. Presumably on a day that is not this coming Saturday.DumbJaques wrote:if Penn isn't able to host this event
