VCU Open mirror @ Michigan (August 3, 2013)
This is the announcement for the Midwest mirror of VCU Open, to be played at the University of Michigan on August 3, 2013. The building is TBA, but it will almost certainly be Mason Hall. The tournament will start promptly at 9:00 AM, so be there to register by 8:45 at the latest.
Fee structure:
Base fee: $120
Buzzer: $-10
Staffer: $-20
Minimum fee: $40
To register, please email me (wnediger at umich dot edu) with your team's roster, the number of buzzers you'll be bringing, and the names of any staffers you can bring. Note that you won't be considered officially registered if you just post in this thread without emailing me.
On August 4, I believe we'll be playing a mirror of the guerrilla tournament Triacontakaipentagon, pooling the packets with the main site.
FIELD:
Lee/Greene/Srivatsa/Cheyne
Wawrykow/Liu/Agostino/Barrett
Dogra/Parks/Venkus/Dev
Laferbrook
Michigan house team (1 or 2)

There is a non 0% chance I'd play this, although I can't guarantee anything right now (and I'd kind of prefer the guerrilla thing just be done on Saturday night if possible). If people are okay with someone who may drop, I'm looking for teammates.

Yeah, we can do the side event on Saturday instead if that's what people prefer.

Since it's looking like plane tickets to VA are going to stay out of our price range, I'm increasingly interested in attending this tournament. Maybe we can get some sort of Minnesota caravan going?

Re: VCU Open mirror @ Michigan (August 3, 2013)
Sorry to keep posting in this thread, but I'd like to do all of the side events (the super side event side event, my trash packet, even [shudder] the architecture tournament), yet I would prefer (within reason) to do everything on Saturday. Is this possible or should I make Sunday plans as well?

Re: VCU Open mirror @ Michigan (August 3, 2013)
It should be possible, but it would end pretty late, so it depends on other people's preferences. If there's anyone with a strong preference to do side events on Sunday, let me know; otherwise, we'll do them on Saturday. Since it won't be a huge field, we could do them shootout-style, which would cut down on time.

If any players who are proficient in science are still looking for a team, and don't mind playing with a bunch of high schoolers, they should let me know!

Re: VCU Open mirror @ Michigan (August 3, 2013)
Can Michigan potentially field two house teams (or glomp free agents if there are any on one team) so we can avoid the dreaded odd number of teams?

Re: VCU Open mirror @ Michigan (August 3, 2013)
We have an even number registered right now, but if Collin's team signs up, then Michigan could make two house teams to keep things even.

A team involving me will for sure be signing up. I haven't yet simply because we don't have a fourth player.women, fire and dangerous things wrote:We have an even number registered right now, but if Collin's team signs up, then Michigan could make two house teams to keep things even.

Re: VCU Open mirror @ Michigan (August 3, 2013)
A couple updates: This will be happening on the second floor of Mason Hall, and we'll be doing the Triacontakaipentagon mirror on the same day (note that if you're writing a packet for that, you should email it to George Berry by Saturday afternoon).

Will we have the packets from all of the side-events being played at the main site? How late are we able to stay in the rooms?

Re: VCU Open mirror @ Michigan (August 3, 2013)
We'll have Triacontakaipentagon, and since Mike and Connor will be there I assume we'll also have Packet 8472 and TAMIL. I could also ask for the world history and architecture events if there's interest, but it might be a lot to do in one day. We don't have rooms booked for any specific amount of time - like at KABO, we're squatting rooms since bureaucratic nonsense prevents us from actually booking rooms in the summer.

Re: VCU Open mirror @ Michigan (August 3, 2013)
I'm definitely interested in Triacontakfandango and I could easily read my packet. TAMIL I think has been played by a number of folks, although I'm not sure if a majority at our site has played it. Obviously it's probably best to play it by ear, but if we do shootout, we can get through a lot of these things, I think.

If two teams could find room in their hearts, but preferably on their rosters, then Steve Oppenheim and I would love to play tomorrow. Are there any openings?

The only reason we have two house teams is to keep the numbers even, so we'd love you to come round out the field so we only need one house team.

I didn't include this in the original post, but we can do discounts for short-handed teams too, especially if that incentivizes the Case guys to be our sixth team.
