I am 95% sure we could get an RIT or RIT + recent grads team there.

I will talk to the UWO group about this, but lacking their interest, I am potentially interested as a free-agent or solo player. Once the logistics are worked out, I can confirm.

Based on a polling of the club, Guelph should be able to bring two teams out to this one!

I'd like to register as a free agent for this, as it doesn't seem as though anyone else from UWO has interest. If there's anyone coming up who's passing through London, I'm happy to chip in for gas, otherwise, I will have to look into Greyhound opportunities.

I'm posting for the Centennial CVI team. They're interested in making a trip out from Guelph for this, despite being in high school. I just know this from the Ontario HS trivia group on Facebook. I expect that they would want to send a team, and might even post here soon.

I go to Centennial and we are pretty certain on sending a team. We also have a buzzer system, and could probably find a moderator.

Just as a follow-up, I have joined Jay Misuk's team.
What times (roughly) are we looking to start and end? I'm looking into Greyhound information, and there's a bus that will get me to the Mac Campus (wherever it is that buses go) at 9:20, and another that will take me back to London which leaves at 6:25. Will this be an issue?

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Penn Bowl Trash Mirror at McMaster 3/5/11
I don't think starting the tournament at 9:30ish will be an issue. As for where the bus will drop you off, it will be behind Mary E. Keyes Residence on the west end of campus. If you look at the map, it is building number 50 (with a red arrow near it). From there, the walk to MDCL (Building #52) should take no longer than 5 minutes. If you'd like a phone number to call incase you get lost, feel free to e-mail me and I'll send it along.

Unfortunately, RIT/alums won't be able to make it.

So we at Centennial CVI in Guelph would like to enter the tournament. What do we have to do to enter?

@CVI:
Just that. We already had you penned in as coming in our field so just show up at McMaster at around 9 am on Saturday. Bring buzzers if you have them. If you need help finding the building feel free to contact one of us at McMaster Quizbowl.

Just a last reminder that we want all teams to show up by 9 am tomorrow morning at MDCL so we can get through the administrative stuff we need to and get the tournament underway by 9:30. Let us know if you need any last minute directions.
