Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
Some rather brave people from Stony Brook would love to attend, myself included. I'd say about 2 teams' worth at the moment.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like we're not going after all.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
We'll definitely have 1 team there and we have funding for two, so we'll do an interest check in a couple weeks to lock that in place.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
Someone should pester Fordham into attending this, although one of their players told me they probably wouldn't actually play a tournament until next year because they are a newly formed team. I believe they went to watch a tournament at Columbia once though, so someone from there might have their contact information.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
Yale will presumably bring at least one, hopefully more, teams to this. We'll let you know once we figure things out.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
Hopefully you got my email, but I thought I should also post on the thread to let you know that NYU would like to bring two teams (and a buzzer) to this tournament.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Stony Brook actually will be coming, contrary to what was posted earlier.
We'll be bringing one team.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
I think RPI will only have a single team for this

Rutgers will probably send one team.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
It seems that I'm the new TD for this tournament. I'd like to start by crystallizing the field; please tell me if any of my information is incorrect.
FIELD (10):
Cornell (1)
Dartmouth (1)
Harvard (1)
NYU (2)
RPI (1)
Rutgers (1)
Stony Brook (1)
Wellesley (1)
Yale (1)
I have email addresses for Columbia, NYU, and Stony Brook. Could the other schools email me at omurton AT mit DOT edu or post with an address I can use to contact you?
Also, as far as I know, only NYU has expressed an intent to bring a buzzer set. If anyone else has any, please let me know.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
Unfortunately, I was mistaken - Yale will bring only one team, as well one staffer and one buzzer set.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
Any advice for those of us taking the train from New York to Boston on how to get to the MIT campus?

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
I just approved this post and I figure I'm more likely than actual MIT students to be awake at the moment, so I'll just answer. Take the Red Line from South Station four stops to Kendall/MIT. From there you have to walk around to the front of the MIT campus to get to Buildings 2 and 4 (use the map linked in the first post of this thread), which involves walking northwest on Mass Ave, then left on Ames Street.CWSYuen wrote:Any advice for those of us taking the train from New York to Boston on how to get to the MIT campus?

Whenever we've gone to MIT we've parked at a little lot on Mass. Ave near Vassar St.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
It looks like Dartmouth will have only one team, although two is still a small possibility.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
So we're at 9 or 10 teams for tomorrow. Either way, we'll do a full round robin, probably a short playoff, and finals. Teams should meet in 2-136 by 8:40 AM.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
A heads up for anyone taking the T out to the Kendall/MIT station tomorrow: regular train service will be replaced by bus service on the relevant stretch of the Red Line. In the past, this hasn't been a problem--the buses run the route just fine. It may take slightly longer than normal, though.

Re: MUT at MIT (4/28/12)
Thanks to MIT for a well-run tournament on a well-written set. Just a note, I don't think we got 18 toss-ups in our first game against Yale. Teagan McClintock should probably have 0 toss-ups instead of 9, heh.
