Re: New York NASAT Tryouts
So with the additional interest in the last few days, are these tryouts happening again? After briefly talking with Ben Zhang, I think there should be no tryouts for New York. Since NASAT is like a month and a half away, I will select a team (probably with the help of Ben Zhang) from the people tha...

The thing is that Hunter's SCOP Novice tournament is that day, which I'd guess many of the New York schools will be going to. In terms of the NYC/LI area, there aren't many teams that would play ACF Fall even if there weren't a conflicting tournament. I doubt that not having a team or two max from ...
