Anything that's on topic but doesn't fit elsewhere, including related events that might be of interest to quizbowl players (KMO, Science Bowl, etc).

South Carolina player Jake Spinella is likely transferring to UNC-Chapel Hill this fall. He'd probably like to play quizbowl there. He's a very good philosophy player and has decent knowledge in other areas.

That's awesome Nikhil. Alexa would make a great teammate so i hope she gives it a shot while she's out there. Hopefully we'll run into each other in Atlanta in a few weeks.

Sam, if you're heading to Orlando this summer, there are open practices at Valencia's West Campus on Wednesdays from 11-3 which will likely draw some of the UCF folks. We'd be happy to have you.

Barring shenanigans, I won't be down there until the start of August; on the other hand, that still potentially leaves a few weeks of academic-summer. I'll likely pester you (or the UCF folks, I suppose) for more info once I'm settled in.
