Are there plans to mirror the Guerilla History side event after this? Our teams would greatly enjoy if this happened

I'm hesistant to because I expect this tournament to run late and we've run into issues with facilities staff being unhappy with us overstaying our reservation, but I can gauge interest among the teams.

Thank you to everyone who came to the tournament, and congrats to Dinosaurific for winning! Florida A came in second, followed by the Beyer-Kendall Alliance and the White Visitation. Prelims and combined stats will be posted soon.

Stats are in!

Thanks to Georgia Tech for hosting this! It was run really well. We finished pretty quickly even though we were late (sorry about that, we got in later than expected the night before). Special thanks to the two readers who stayed late to read guerilla history!

I'll echo Jonathen's gratitude to Justin, Rodrigo, and those who staffed and who made up time after those lazy Gators got us off to a late start. And I thought the questions tried some interesting things and didn't seem as hard as some suggested (at least until around Round 7 and up, when there definitely seemed to be an increase in difficulty).

Thanks a bunch for hosting! It was nice to see everyone again.
