Logomachy online (September 24, 2022)

Post by women, fire and dangerous things »

I'll be hosted an online mirror of Logomachy on September 24 starting at 11:00 AM Eastern. The tournament will have teams of 4, and will cost $15 per player; staffers will be paid $20. There will be an initial field cap of 12 teams, which will expand contingent on staff availability.

An unofficial team formation spreadsheet is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0. To sign up a team officially, email me at wnediger at umich dot edu.

I'd like to request that teams name themselves after one of their favorite words (if you don't feeling like picking one, I'll pick one of my favorite words for you).

I'm looking for teammates. I don't know anything about words, though, aside from the ones you can't say on television.

This is in a little over two weeks, and I'm still in need of a few staffers (who will earn both $20 and my eternal gratitude!). It would also be helpful if free agents could organize themselves into teams fairly soon, so I have a sense of exactly how much staff is needed.

I'm closing the field now that there are 8 teams, though it's possible that there's still one open player slot. I have exactly enough staff for that, but I'd like to have a couple backups in case of late staff drops or technical issues. If you'd like to earn $10 to do nothing except be available on Saturday in case of emergency, let me know.

Congrats to "diaphanous" (John Lawrence, Joey Goldman, Camilla Chen, Sam Bailey), who defeated "imbroglio" (Stephen Eltinge, Grace Liu, Olivia Murton, James Bradbury) in a one-game final to win the tournament! Stats to come when I'm less sick.
