I am planning to play/signing up for this tournament.

I can play solo or with teammates. Whatever makes the tournament run better works for me.

I am TD'ing this tournament. You can register by e-mailing me in addition to the contact information in the announcement.

In regards to the open teams, I would encourage responsible team formation, but I would highly discourage (and not allow) anything close to resembling a superteam. That said, staff and team constraints may require some merging of teams within reason, so we'll see what develops. For the expected field, though, I would say there is no reason why Top 25 caliber players should be playing together (unless, of course, they are actually teammates).

NEW RUNNING FIELD
Allium, the Civil Liberties Onion (Rob Carson/Bernadette Spencer/possible others)
Respect What He's Done...Not That You've Got to Love Him (Brendan Byrne and friends)
Minnesota (4 teams)
Carleton (1 team)
St. Thomas Academy team

Since our transportation to Michigan fell through, Bernadette and I will be playing this tournament.

Carleton will be there with people and our cheery demeanors.

by **Cheynem** » Fri Sep 30, 2011 11:31 pm

Also hopefully some money you owe me, you meddling kid!

How many teams?

Arriving separately, I hope.

If they take different cars and separate by gender, you could have a car of cheerful miss demeanors. Ha ha ha--enjoy the buffet!

Mike, I was bcc'd on an invite email you sent and just wanted to confirm whether or not this tournament is open to high school teams as well?

by **Cheynem** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 11:58 am

Yes, it is. Please note the difficulty of the tournament, however.

Contact me with any further concerns (including discounts, etc.).

by **suchacardinal** » Wed Oct 05, 2011 2:00 pm

Saint Thomas will have a team there.

by **Cheynem** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:31 pm

This field is capped. Please do not try to register any more teams.

by **Cheynem** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 10:22 pm

A Minnesota team led by Andrew Hart, Gaurav Kandlikar, Robin Heinonen, Lauren Johnson, and Eliza Grames won this tournament.
