Re: PRELIM: WELD (Wildly Experimental Literature Doubles)
That's a reasonable decision. I honestly didn't expect CO History to have this many (theoretical) packets, so I'm going to have to back out of this event and have just emailed Ted. Anyone who wants to win this tournament: probably a good idea to take my spot.

I suppose I will stick around to staff this experiment.

I'm interested in playing this tournament (and am seeking a teammate). I am also more than happy to staff if needed.

Re: PRELIM: WELD (Wildly Experimental Literature Doubles)
I would likewise like to inquire if there is still room and offer myself as a free agent.

Re: PRELIM: WELD (Wildly Experimental Literature Doubles)
Including Laferbrook, there are now 16 teams signed up, which is a good number to cap it at - Libo has printed off schedules for a 16-team field. Notice that at the moment there's an open spot on Ted's team, though, and who knows if more people will drop out, so free agents might still get to play.

Re: PRELIM: WELD (Wildly Experimental Literature Doubles)
Thanks for a very fun lit tournament. I look forward to reading through the set when it is disseminated (hopefully soon?) and I hope you're planning on creating a discussion forum, since this set had some quite distinctive approaches to tossup construction (especially in the writing of tossups on easy-answer lines) that I'm sure people will want to discuss.
Patrick, I already sent you some stat corrections. To those, I'll add that:

Re: PRELIM: WELD (Wildly Experimental Literature Doubles)
Those are some interesting stat lines. I'm sorry I couldn't be there; I guess I'll just have to wait for the gratuitously experimental GELD.
