Can you please also DM me or re-send the logistics email to my listed email?

Thanks!

Is there a way we can like scrimmage on some of the later packets? Paying for sevens games(assuming elimination in first round of single elim playoffs) is a poor deal in terms of $/hour. My team and I would be happy to play other squads if/when we get eliminated in the playoffs provided we qualify....

Obviously, do not sign up for this or purchase anything from Bryce Avery/Avery Enterprises.

At what time will VICO start approximately?

Hello!

University of Maryland practices are now open to all who wish to attend. Currently, they are from 6-9 on Mondays and Wednesdays, although that might change later in the summer. Come on out!

I'm moving to the Hyde Park, Chicago area and would be happy to help out at tournaments there/in the Midwest. I'm also down to play some opens.

Stats are up.

The mannerism bonus in packet 5 (Illinois/VCU) referenced Pontormo's deposition (Capponi Chapel) in its second part. This seemed a little odd to me since the work is specifically identified as his Pietà in Janson's (8th ed.) (the Wikipedia Article on the other hand only calls it a deposition). I th...

Sethlene + Gautam defeated Stanford in an exciting one game final to win! Thanks to everybody for coming out; I'll try to have stats up by Monday.

Great, you guys are our eighth team and the field is now closed.

We'll start at 10 est. since so many of the teams are on central/pacific.

Gonzagapuma1

Hey, I'd like to get a clear idea of the number of teams, so, if you haven't already, please email me at danjpuma at gmail.com to confirm your number of teams. Also, I don't know how many free agents there are, but you guys should find teams.

Gonzagapuma1

I would like to play this.

Gonzagapuma1

Great write-up, Mike.

Gonzagapuma1

Alright, I'll go ahead and make this an open mirror on 4/11. The cost will be $15 a player, with a minimum fee of $30 per team. Email me to officially register. Thanks!

Gonzagapuma1

Hello! I'm looking to gauge interest in a STIMPY Skype mirror. Right now, I think the easiest date for this is on 4/11. We didn't receive that many packets from teams, so it's possible this could be an open mirror. HOWEVER, if there is any way you can attend a mirror in person/have signed up to play...

Gonzagapuma1

I'm interested to hear feedback on any of these categories. This was my first time editing religion, so I'd especially be happy to hear feedback on that. The Kumbh Mela clue is certainly not specific enough, so I'll fix that before future mirrors. Beyond that, I tried to balance it about 70/30-ish b...

Could we get a field update?

Hey,

I'm gonna read some impossible speedchecks that were played at UMD and Illinois in the IRC at 8. #speedcheck

Gonzagapuma1

Maybe this is just bias because I knew the answer, but didn't the C. Kirchner question seem relatively easy? I'm pretty sure that the lead-in was the same clue as a clue in the middle of an SCT tossup on Argentina and that seemed a bit off. Cayman islands hedge fund NML Capital punished this leader...

I'll hopefully have the Speedcheck stats by tomorrow night, but Matt Jackson almost certainly won. Thanks to everyone for braving the crazy weather and staying to play it. We hope you guys had as much fun playing as we did writing/reading it.

Congratulations to Grant Colvin's team who defeated Team Kitty Purry in the second game of a two game finals series to win! Full stats will be up by the end of the week.

This tournament will start at 10 (TEN) am tomorrow.

We've had a few recent sign-ups, but would love to get some more! Come on out!

Pizza after main event and during EYES details:

It will be $5 for two slices and soda/water. Please find me before Oppen and pay. I will order extra for those who forget, decide to stay, etc.

Gonzagapuma1

Since there are 13 people signed up for Eyes, would it be better to run two rooms and break into a upper/lower bracket halfway through? I've always found 10+ people in a shootout to be non-ideal. It would be better to run two rooms, but that depends on staff and, more pressingly, computer limitatio...

Gonzagapuma1

I humbly suggest doing some sort of shootout or "move up / down" every 30 questions or so (a la Guerrilla Lit) for speedchecks, because drafts take forever and are awful. We're going to implement for this speedcheck since it makes things a lot easier. We'll have two seeding packets follow...

I will staff if I'm there.

I'm very likely going and am looking for a team.

A team was selected! It is:

Gabe Guedes (Richard Montgomery)
Lawrence Simon (Quince Orchard)
Farah Kabir (Richard Montgomery)
Weijia Cheng (Centennial)
Tanay Wakhare (Quince Orchard)

Thanks to all who tried out.

If your team is bringing a buzzer for this please email me.

Yes, it's -1000 outside, but this tryout is still a go! See you in Jimenez at 12.

Even if you guys are planning to grab dinner for everyone, this seems...bullish. Even the generous assumption that Oppen concludes precisely at 6pm (which, if there are one or especially two finals matches, seems unlikely to me based on my calculations above) still requires people to wrap up Oppen,...

This field is now full.

Thanks for the post, Andrew. This definitely needs to get worked out. The current plan is for this schedule on Saturday: Oppen 9-6 EYES and Cody's tournament: 6:15-7:30 Speedcheck: 7:30-9:30 I know it seems a little crazy to run until 9:30, but many people have expressed interest for these events on...

We're working on a southeast mirror. I had heard rumors of a potential UCLA mirror, but have not heard anything from them. If you're a team in California who wants to host this, let me know.

I would like to second Andrew's excellent and thoughtful comments and emphasize that this set was nowhere near what it said it would be for the North American audience. I can accept and anticipated a set with some difficulty cliffs and wild bonus variability, however the amount of British stuff was ...
