With three weeks to go, this is still only a six-team tournament. If you're thinking about registering, do so soon, otherwise we may cancel.

Is it possible to update our registration after we submit? I ask because we're not exactly sure how many teams we will be bringing.

Sure. If something changes, just fill out the form again.

I've received a large number of packets from teams that presumably would be attending the Northwestern site; those teams should in fact register for the tournament there.

This field is closed unless one more team can register to bring us to 14.

Notre Dame has brought us to 14 teams, so the field is closed.

We'll do two brackets of 7 teams into 6/4/4. The top bracket will play a full round-robin for final standings. The lower two brackets will do a double round-robin where each team carries over one game from the prelims.

Teams should check in with me between 8:00 and 8:30 am in Room 4-365 of Kresge Hall, which is located at 1880 Campus Drive, Evanston, IL 60208. Teams should park in the Lakeside Parking Structure, which is located at 1 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston, IL 60208. An interactive map of campus can be found here. Please be on time. I'd like to start as soon after 8:30 as possible so that we can break for lunch after Round 7.

I'll try to keep the stats updated round-by-round.

And playoff stats are up now.

Michigan A defeated Michigan B in the first round of the superplayoffs, and Illinois B won against Illinois A. Michigan A ended up winning the one-game final.

Big thanks for Northwestern for hosting this. Everything went pretty smoothly and you guys did a great job.

On another note, is the last playoff round going to be entered into the stats anytime soon?

Hewlett-Packard, in their infinite wisdom, put out a driver for my printer that caused all sorts of problems for my computer, necessitating the reformatting of my hard drive. The stats from yesterday are in my backup file, but it's going to be a few more hours until I'm up and running again.

We managed to leave without our judge. If anyone has an extra one that says Michigan State on top and has two broken green and one broken red lights, let me know.

This also goes for our Anderson system in a white and purple tackle box.
