I emailed the address listed above about a week and a half ago and haven't heard back. Tulane would like to host a mirror of this tournament for the Lower South/East Texas.The Schopenhauer Power Hour wrote:

Oh wait, I didn't notice that A&M has been added as a site. That would be possible for us, but we would prefer something closer; if no one else in the South offers, we would like to do the mirror for the region.TulaneKQB wrote:I emailed the address listed above about a week and a half ago and haven't heard back.

Will there be a DeLorean available upon arrival?The Schopenhauer Power Hour wrote:January 15, 2010
Some number of teams composed of current and former Delaware players are planning on attendance. We will probably not be able to firm up the number of teams until the week of the tournament, but let's say 2 for now.

We don't start classes again until Tuesday Jan. 17th, so it's going to have to be that weekend (1/21-22) at least. I'll see about BARGE (I would really like to start off the semester with an academic set as well), but right now it's just TERP.jmannor2 wrote: What date are you guys thinking about doing this?

I'm looking to team up with a couple of people who know 80s music, TV, video games/comics, and don't mind losing.

I'm available to quasi-competently fill a seat for any incomplete team that needs help in video games, '90s music, or obscure sports.

Team Susan Sarandon is a Baby-Eating Witch (Patrick, Grant, Tim and Eric) defeated UVA (David, Tommy, Evan A. and Evan N.) in a one-game final to win the tournament.
Stats for all games can be found here
I want to extend a massive thanks to everyone who came out to play, and especially to everyone who helped staff and write the tournament. Please refrain from discussing specific questions in this thread-- I'll post here if we're able to get a private thread set up, at which time I definitely encourage everyone to give feedback. In the meantime, general comments about the tournament are much appreciated.
