We would love to participate, but I do not think we can, since I am pretty sure we played HSAPQ 32 earlier this month in Connecticut.

Re: QuAC IV at Penn (1/26/2013)
Attention! We have just received permission to use CATT instead of HSAPQ T32 (which I am to understand several NY/NJ teams have seen at Newtown). So please take a second look at this tournament and bring your full teams!

Manheim Township would like to register two teams, and we will bring two buzzer systems.
A lot of our players can't make it, so these won't be our usual A and B teams.

Irvington is definitely thinking of attending but because this tournament is 3 hours away form us I am hesitant to register because I anticipate transportation issues. But I suppose we'll register one team for now. Also what time does this tournament start?

Re: QuAC IV at Penn (1/26/2013)
EDIT again: Ridgewood has dropped to 1 team, and we still need at least one team to fill out the field. I've heard High Tech may be sending a team; them, others, please let us know ASAP.
EDIT again: Colonia HS has now dropped out. Anyone want to take their place?
