Not sure putting this tournament the week between ACF Fall and Minnesota Open is the greatest idea. Then again, you may not have a different choice.

Re: QUARK Mirror at GWU 11/10/12
I'm happy to see another tournament at GWU as it's a nice location (both objectively and for VCU).
I assume the mistakes of ACF Regionals on this front have been learned from?chrislo wrote:Staffer Discount: $10/staffer (If you are staffing, please bring a laptop)

Re: QUARK Mirror at GWU 11/10/12
So I was looking at the rail line schedules a bit.
Maybe I'm misreading them, but do the blue and orange lines stop at foggy bottom on weekends?
I saw the stop on the weekday route but not the weekend.
Also do you recommend a station that will have good parking for the day? Most of the ones I've found are rather distant from the foggy bottom station.
Also, I'm not sure if you've been contacted by the club president or any one else but Penn State is hoping to send 3 teams (though it may end up being 2) to this tournament.
Thanks,

Re: QUARK Mirror at GWU 11/10/12
I'm not sure where you were looking, but yeah, trains stop at Foggy Bottom (and all other stations) on weekends. The only exceptions are when there are station closures, and there isn't one listed for Foggy Bottom on that day.Nerdyninja13 wrote:So I was looking at the rail line schedules a bit.

What exactly is your plan, driving-wise? If you're driving from State College, you might as well just drive down to GW and park. You could try driving to Shady Grove, which has ample parking, but it's going to add unnecessary time. Parking in the vicinity of GW isn't great, but it's manageable (especially if you're willing to spend some amount of money that's assuredly less than what 4 metro tickets would cost).

We'll be here with up to 3 teams but I need to nail down some more commitments before we actually register.

Re: QUARK Mirror at GWU 11/10/12
Provided we can find someone to drive us (and we still have the funds to attend), we'll send a team.

Just a heads up. Buses are replacing trains between East Falls Church and Clarendon on the Orange Line this weekend, please add 10-15 minutes at least to your travels if you are coming from the Fairfax area.

Uh, leave more than that, if you read this in time. Metro shuttle operations were designed by Morlocks with rabies and that's like three or four stations.chrislo wrote:Just a heads up.
