We have reached the initial field cap of 12 teams. Any future registrations will be placed on a waitlist until we secure enough staff, buzzers, and rooms to expand the field.

[Halinaxus]

The field has been expanded to 15 teams and will not expand further. There is only one spot left, so act quickly if you want it!

[Halinaxus]

A team has dropped, leaving us with one spot left again. We could also potentially accommodate a 15th team if needed using byes.

[Halinaxus]

The field is now full once again at 15. A logistics email was sent out to team contacts earlier this week; please let me know if you did not receive it! I'll send out an update tomorrow or Friday with the revised 15-team schedule.

Thanks for playing Penn Bowl! We'd appreciate any comments in the discussion forum (under usergroups in the User Control Panel under your name in the top right). There are also all the packets, as well as the QBJ files from which you can feel free to create advanced stats (and some advanced stats Geoffrey Wu has cooked up thusfar).

[Halinaxus]

Thanks for coming out to West Lafayette for Penn Bowl, everyone! Chicago A was our undefeated champion, defeating Illinois A in the first game of an advantaged final. Indiana A placed third, with WUSTL, Purdue A, and Michigan A all tied for fourth.
