George Oppen at Illinois (2/28/15)

Post by Good Goblin Housekeeping »

On Saturday, February 28, 2015, the University of Illinois is hosting a mirror of George Oppen, an open tournament produced entirely by Auroni Gupta and Stephen Eltinge that aims to be Nats minus difficulty. Details can be found here.

The tournament will take place in Lincoln Hall at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.

PAYMENT:
Please pay in either cash, or a check written out to either Andrew Wang, or Academic Buzzer Team.
