Last year, TJ "practiced" for two or three days a week from 4-6 after school, but we would routinely quit after 45 minutes or so and go play basketball instead. In fact, for the one or two months before the national tournaments, we pretty much completely stopped practicing and balled all d...

Dr. Chuck,

Is it still standard procedure to waitlist a school's third team if that team has qualified? Because I believe TJ C qualified by winning the division II championship at the WoQ Saturday event. If I'm wrong, which I probably am, please let me know.

Diet Chuck

Bali Gupta from TJ has reconsidered and is now going to be attending. Sorry for the somewhat late notice.

Diet Chuck

This is sort of off-topic, but TJ is looking for a team to play football with during the tournament weekend. We'll do anywhere from a 3v3 to a 11v11. Just a warning to all teams interested: we are frighteningly adept at both catching and passing the ball, and we've got lightening quick reflexes. I'm...

Diet Chuck

Josh Hahm will not be attending, so you can take him off the list. Thanks

Diet Chuck

Another TJ cat wants to do this: Bali Gupta

myself (Mohit Iyyer) and Keshav Pillai would like to sign up for this thing.

Quick question: this might be a stretch, but would it be possible to count TJ's Gov qualification as a second team? The people on that team were 3/4 members of the B team and 1/4 A-or-B team fiends. It was also counted as TJ B on the Byko rankings. We'd like to send as many teams as possible because...

Diet Chuck

TJ would like to register two teams. EDIT: and waitlist one. Might waitlist more if we get enough interest.

Regarding our deliquent payments and other things like that, our treasurer will email you.

Diet Chuck

Bump TJ up to six teams. Although you might want to put an asterisk by that because we are prone to last-second dropouts.

Diet Chuck

I believe the top 4 were: 1. Whitman A 2. Wilmington Charter A 3. State College A 4. Hunter Someone else can post the rest of the top 8, and maybe playoff stats, because I don't know / have them.

We now have 38 teams signed up. This means we need 10 more teams in order to use the card system thing. If we don't get 10 more we'll probably go to some sort of bracket system.

I thought the questions were on the whole well-written, although a few of them suffered from non-specific filler sentences and misplaced clues. Our team (TJ "A") as a whole noticed that there was a lack of social science and philosophy questions. Also, there were quite a few repeats in the...

We have in fact resolved our sponsor issue and will be bringing three teams, although our A team will be down its three best players.

EDIT: we will probably also bring one buzzer system.

Anant isn't on AIM so I figure I'll post here: There is a relatively high chance TJ might not send any teams due to a lack of sponsors (kids need to write essays to go to college !!) If we do manage to find one, which is looking unlikely at the moment, we would only be able to field three teams. Als...

yo UMD kids just fyi we (TJ) will probably be sending 2-4 teams. i am posting this here because our captains, while lovable, probably haven't told you we're coming. we also might send more teams due to our immense new member turnout (silberman they were all waiting until you graduated)
