What are the eligibility restrictions for this tournament (i.e., grad students, open teams, etc.)?

We will allow open teams of graduated people as long as we judge they are not "super" teams. We prefer people who go to school play with their school. Grad students can of course also play.

Not that this matters for me, personally, but will you handle this decision for all mirrors or will TDs from other mirrors make judgments about "super" teams for their own mirror?Ringil wrote:We will allow open teams of graduated people as long as we judge they are not "super" teams.

I'm not going to allow open teams other than high schoolers who are trying to avoid MSHSAA regulations at my site.

University of Louisville is interested in sending 3-4 teams to this tournament. We can bring two buzzer systems.

I'll probably be there, either playing with Minnesota or as a free agent.

Update to the Minnesota situation: We'll have two teams, but only one of them is official and the other one will be an open team of Rob, Bernadette, someone else from Minnesota, and potentially a free agent.Ukonvasara wrote:I'll probably be there, either playing with Minnesota or as a free agent.

Laferbrook is coming to this, right now as a team of two. Middling to poor players are welcome to join us in order to keep our team sufficiently non-super.

Would anyone be interested in basketball or ultimate frisbee the Friday before or the evening after this (weather permitting)? There is a basketball court and a large field near Kurtis, Libo, and my house.

Pretty sure Kurtis has a frisbee, but if people want to play basketball they need to bring a ball. Otherwise someone is driving me to the store to get one.

OSU may be able to contribute a couple of guys (but no basketball) if it happens the evening after.

Re: Missiles of October (MOO) mirror at Michigan (10/8)
I feel like half of our team is going to end up at the Jorma Kaukonen concert on Friday night. http://theark.org/2950.html
I'd probably be down for that evening since I have no interest in Jefferson Airplane.

I'm going to assume that MSU is bringing the buzzer that I found last week, and that we used on Saturday (the "old" one).
