SCOP Novice Mirror at University of Connecticut
The University of Connecticut is pleased to announce its mirror of SCOP Novice 4 on Saturday, October 26, 2013. This tournament will be directed by me, Helen Fu.

The tournament will follow standard ACF rules of untimed rounds consisting of 20 tossups and 20 three-part, 30 point bonuses, with neg-fives and 15-point powers, but no bounce-backs on bonuses.
The tournament will consist of bracketed round-robin prelims and rebracketed round-robin playoffs, the details of which are to be decided and announced after the field is determined. Teams will play between 9 and 10 rounds, and ties will be played off, packets permitting.
Registration and breakfast will be ongoing from 8:00 am to 8:45 am, with the first round beginning at approximately 9:00 am and the tournament ending at around 5:30 pm.

Re: SCOP Novice Mirror at University of Connecticut
Is there a difference between the Woodland Regional High School (CT) and the Woodland High School (also CT) that is going to SCOP at Hunter?

Re: SCOP Novice Mirror at University of Connecticut
The schools are the same. When UConn posted that they would mirror the SCOP tournament Woodland emailed that they would drop out of Hunter because it would be much easier for us to travel to UConn. They may not have posted the change as of yet.

I've updated the field. If all goes as planned, we can definitely guarantee ten rounds for every team. There's still room, though--if other teams are interested they can definitely sign up.
