Re: Vanderbilt ABC XXXVIII--11/7/2009
I sent the email to Mr. Manker. The time listed there was a result of a miss-communication between me and Greg for which I was at fault. The registration times that had been previously given in the forum of 5:30-6 and 8:30-9 are the correct ones.

Re: EFT 3 Mirror at Vandy
If a hs team wants to come, we'd love to have them. As far as open teams, I would agree with Matt on the whole newer players idea, so open teams probably wouldn't be a good idea unless we need one in order to make a round robin even out or something.

You gotta find a coach first Daniel, and finding one who will travel, practice, and work like OB did, and McAdams before him, won't be easy. If you juniors show the initiative to get better, you have the tools no doubt. You just have to want it badly enough. Also, on the format debate, I tend to agr...

Dunbar and Russell can obviousy both bring it as well, although Dunbar usually suffers a bit in the Governor's Cup format as opposed to more pyramida...
