With the registration of Clover Hill, this tournament is now full. Any subsequent registrations will be placed on a waiting list and notified ASAP in the event of drops.

For the sake of a workable schedule, I'm going to go ahead and close the field. If anyone is still interested but not registered at this late date, please do go ahead and let me know, and I'll let you know if we have any further drops.

There was a missing playoff scoresheet; hopefully Daniel will have playoff stats on that page as well soon.

Playoff stats are forthcoming, hopefully. Daniel was going to need to enter a scoresheet later tonight.

One of the issues with non-pyramidal vendors is that they don't make their questions freely (ala HSAPQ, PACE, and most housewrites) or easily (ala NAQT) available. If you feel that your kids are at a disadvantage in most of your local competitions because they're slower on the buzzer, you could try ...

Where on the campus is this taking place, where should we park, and at what time should we be there?

Can you update the field in the first post? Hey, Saajid. Per my advice, Haohang's been updating the field in the second post. When a user who doesn't yet have 7+ posts edits the first post in a thread, the entire thread disappears until the post is re-approved. I've gone ahead and removed the origi...

Would it be possible to move this tournament back to the next Saturday? I think Saturdays are a bit more convenient for some people...it's also the last two days of Princeton's fall break so if it were moved back we would definitely attend.

The powers that be have once again decreed that I only get 10 rooms, so I'll have to lower our cap to 21. Sorry, everyone!

I'll agree with Mike and J.R. that trying to hold a national tournament over Skype seems like a terrible idea--what if some of the players lose their internet connection in the finals?
