You should have heard from Chris.

Also: I'm going to be out of town, so Ylaine and Rohan are now in charge. They can be reached at [ylaine (at) mit (dot) edu] and [agrawalr (at) MIT (dot) EDU].

For now, email graceli [at] mit [dot] edu to express interest. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Thanks for coming to the tournament!

After a double round robin, Brown cleared the field with a 13-1 record, followed by Harvard A (11-3) and Dartmouth (10-4).

Top scorers were:
1. Jerry
2. Doug Yetman
3. Guy
4. Ted
5. Randall

Full results can be found here.

z9R4C3

No timers >.< Copied blindly from SCT announcement.

z9R4C3

That's the current field update. At this point, it looks like we won't be needing Katy and that we'll be running a double round robin. Something like that.

Hey everyone, thanks for coming to the tournament and (with one notable exception) being extraordinarily on time. Now to the unsung heroes of yesterday! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katy Peters, for being such an amazing moderator (who scored for h...

z9R4C3

Ok. Sorry about that, everyone.

It looks like we're ok as long as Watkins decides to switch things up. Check the image up top.

z9R4C3

12 is better than 10 is better than 11, so Harvard's only going to be able to bring their 4th team if someone else signs up another DI team.

Also, 16 is better than 18 is better than 17. Anyone want to drop or add a DII team?

z9R4C3

Just a reminder to let us know the final count of teams (split by Div I and Div II) soon.

Or else we'll choose for you, based off of what's convenient for us and the schedule :P

No >.< But they should! And they will!

z9R4C3 · Re: MIT Cardinal Classic Mirror, Provisionally 2/14/09 Sign up!

Sign up!

z9R4C3

Just a reminder to everyone to sign up! ( Early and often, if you please :P )

If you haven't signed up with us two weeks prior to the tournament, by January 24, and there's already a large field, we can't guarantee that we'll have enough staff or buzzers :(

What's your closest stop on the commuter rail?

z9R4C3

We'll be sending at least one team.

z9R4C3

MIT's already agreed with Stanford to run the Northeast mirror of Cardinal Classic :) We would also prefer that Regionals be held by large, Boston-area Harvard ;)

z9R4C3

Yeah there's some errors in my line too; I'll send you an email, grace. Haha, that would make you two the third and fourth people to contact me about errors -.-||| If everyone could get their errors to me by Saturday, I can get them fixed all at once. After that, the stats will probably move to a m...

z9R4C3

Still waiting to hear finalized info from Brown and Yale. Also, we will be holding a mirror of Andrew Hart's Lit Tournament: An Encounter. Fees should be about $10 to $15 a person.

z9R4C3

Just a reminder that you should let me know how many buzzers, teams, and staffers you'll be bringing!

z9R4C3

Alright, I need someone to bring a staffer or two. Now you too can determine (to some degree) the quality of readers at this tournament! :D Staffers of the variety that can both read and score are preferred.

z9R4C3

In the interest of not making freshmen sad, there's a conservative field cap of 18 teams. However, if the need arises, I'll try and get more rooms.

z9R4C3

Just giving this a bump. Remember to email me about the how many teams/buzzers you can bring as well as what side tournaments you'd like :P

z9R4C3

We'll be bringing our three buzzer systems, and would appreciate it if we could be picked up at the commuter rail (and also provided a place to sleep/get breakfast?). We'll be arriving in Providence at 7:50.

z9R4C3

Just a quick reminder to let me know if you'd like a side tournament to be run.

z9R4C3

Oh no freaking way :) We'll probably bring a team or three. Is packet submission required for this mirror?

z9R4C3

We're going to be bringing at least one team. Do you need readers? We can bring at least one of those, too.

At this point, we need buzzers more than readers. When it gets closer to the tournament and I have a better idea of how many teams are coming, I'll let you know :)

z9R4C3

Lah lah lah, see above.

If you'll let us run JECHT, we'd be happy to. We'd also be open to (and have permission for) running Andrew Hart's Lit tournament (if there's enough interest).

z9R4C3

Hi everyone, We'll be meeting in 4-270 at 9:00, and to get the on-time discount, your entire team needs to be in the room at 9:00 :) Transportation is covered at http://web.mit.edu/graceli/Public/directions/directions.html .

Not enough teams signed up, so this mirror has been canceled.

Many apologies to Brown and Harvard and to anyone else who was planning to come.

z9R4C3

9 teams showed up, and after the round robin, Harvard A, Harvard Suns and Lovers, Dartmouth A, and Dartmouth B advanced to the top bracket. Harvard A cleared the field with a 10-1 record, and no finals were held. The top 5 individuals were 1. Randall â€” Dartmouth A 2. James â€” Dartmouth B 3. Julia...
