Re: MUT @ Arizona State University (5/10/2014)
It is my understanding that the undergraduates at the University of Arizona don't finish finals until the next week, so we will be unable to attend.

Re: Arizona Quizbowl Association - Arizona NAQT SCT (2/9/14)
The University of Arizona will officially emerge from our lengthy slumber to attend this tournament. Sadly for my unsuspecting young teammates, we will be D1. As an aside, should our preferences be part of the scheduling calculus, the U of A would find it much easier to attend tournaments on Saturda...

Re: ACF Fall 2013 California--UC Berkeley (11/2/13)
The University of Arizona is going to attempt to put together a team for this tournament. I'm loathe to write a packet, pay $120, and drive the completely unreasonable distance from Tucson to San Francisco all by myself, but we'll see if I can recruit some teammates.

Re: ACF Fall at the Claremont Colleges
The announcement did not come in time for our players to put together a packet, but ASU intends to send one team of freshmen and two staffers. Registration should happen sometime in the next 24 hours.

Count on ASU being in attendance. We'd like to have a second team, but I have a feeling we won't. We'll e-mail you and take care of the official registration as soon as we decide how many people we're sending.

We'll post more information as we plot things out further, but we're conditionally shooting to hold an open tournament of varied d...

While there's nothing formal, ASU quizbowl has unofficial gatherings after every tournament to which all are invited to come socialize.

Re: INTEREST CHECK: Antwerp or MUT Delayed Mirror on 3/19/11
If you do end up flying, you're going to want to fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor. There's a shuttle that takes you to the nearest light rail station, and if you take the light rail 3-4 miles east, you can get off at either of the stations that run directly through the university.
