Just submitted Waterloo A's packet.

This will be happening on the 18th. First post has been updated with details.

I don't think we'll be able to run this on the 25th, sorry. :(

the third garrideb

Two weekends after would be okay for us. We just can't run it on the 4th because a sizable portion of our team will be writing exams.

The University of Waterloo is pleased to announce a mirror of KABO to be held on August 18, 2012. The tournament will take place in the Mathematics and Computer Studies building (MC on this map ), MC 2054. Please aim to arrive by 9:00 a.m. To register, you can post in this thread or email me at hzaf...

Waterloo should send us our mirror fees from MUT before hosting anything else. I wasn't involved with running MUT last term (or the club, for that matter), so I'm not entirely certain what the hell happened with that. At the start of this term, the current president did send Gaurav the fees that we...

Waterloo is interested in hosting a Canadian mirror of this.

I just told Arjun that I'd like to attend MAGNI, so I guess we're up to three people now? Not sure if this would nullify any potential discount...

Ah, awesome!

So it's looking like just me and Daniel P will be representing Waterloo. Any chance we could get some sort of shorthanded discount?

I think Arjun said we'd be sending at least one team. At any rate, I can come down to help staff if you guys need.

What was the rationale for the playoff format used? Couldn't you have accommodated a double round robin with advantaged finals easily? The tournament director made the call that in the interest of time some sort of playoff would be played after the initial round-robin; the decision was made to use ...

Is Eric Monkman still at Toronto? Even without Jordan and Jay, they've got a good team, and some strong younger players as well. As for Waterloo, James is certainly back this year and will hopefully be a regular part of our lineup. If I may say so, our supporting cast doesn't look too shabby, either...

If you are hosting (or thinking about hosting) a high school tournament in Ontario this year and would like your tournament to appear in the pre-season newsletter we will be mailing to schools across the province, please let me know by August 31. A tentative date, name, and contact info would be su...

Sorry, we've had a change of plans and regretfully won't be coming out to Moon Pie this weekend.

Meraj and I will be playing this and would like some teammates.

Yes but seeing as the Facebook is called "Ontario Quizbowl Association (ONQBA)" and not something like "People interested in the activities of the Ontario Quizbowl Association (ONQBA)," I think that for someone who hasn't read the constitution, it might be easy to conflate membe...

Okay, cool. That makes sense.

Who exactly will be allowed to vote in this election? Does the "having staffed an Ontario tournament" (within some timeframe?) requirement to be a voting member apply currently? Will it just be whoever's been added to the Facebook group? (Sorry if this was made clear somewhere else and I c...

What about people who are interested but cannot make it to Guelph on Saturday?

the third garrideb

I have e-mailed FOGHAT's writers and MP/RC's writers to request a mirror; if I'm stepping on other Canadian/Great Lakes toes here, just let me know. I'm thinking early June, maybe (this would be warmer, and the weekend of the 28th is, I believe, HSNCT)? I emailed Ming-Ho to see if UW would want to ...

the third garrideb

Yes, I was also wondering whether we'd be having ANGST/VETO up here this summer. I would certainly be interested and will contribute towards a packet if this happens.

the third garrideb

So, Waterloo will have one team of at least me... A second team looks like it's probably not going to happen.

Also, we'll have Ohio State's buzzers (and also our buzzers).

the third garrideb

March 19 is the date UW is considering for the Blastoise trash/academic hybrid tournament.

ETA: If the dates don't end up conflicting, we'd probably have a couple of teams interested in playing MUT.

the third garrideb

Thank you to everyone who came out to play and to staff this. Congratulations to Ohio State A for their first place THUNDER II finish, and to Radu Popescu for his impressive performance in the HP event. Sadly, we did not have time to run Eyes That Do Not See II, but the stats for the other events ar...

the third garrideb

Someone from Waterloo will have our buzzers. We may also have one staffer.

the third garrideb

I have updated location information in the first post. Could everyone who has so far indicated an interest in coming to this please send me an email (hzafar at uwaterloo dot ca) to confirm numbers in terms of teams, buzzers, and staff (if any) that you are bringing? If you could do this sometime in ...

This is an announcement for Waterloo's mirror of THUNDER II on Saturday, January 15, 2011 , starting at 9:00 am . The main event will be followed by Harry Potter trash and a visual arts tournament (see below). FEES Base fee for first team: $100 Fee for subsequent teams: $10 lower for each team (ie, ...

This tournament was high amounts of fun. Thank you guys for running this, and congratulations to the UWO team for winning.

(Also, Jamie Cooper, not Campbell. ^-^")

We have space on one of our teams, if you want.

I can let you know probably by the end of the week, as we'll be confirming plans for this at tomorrow's practice.

Well, I won't say that this isn't a little disappointing.

If I may ask a couple of questions: 1) Why was UT not able to move the EFT date? and, 2) How large a field are you guys currently expecting for this?

the third garrideb

I would love to play this, but would it by any chance be possible to have it a week earlier? It's just, you know, TERP is currently scheduled for the same day...

EDIT: grammar is difficult

the third garrideb

Personally, the weekend of ACF Fall is not good for me, so if this does get moved I will have to withdraw my offer to help staff.

However, I don't think the date change should affect any of our teams.

the third garrideb

Thank you to everyone who came out to this, both to staff and to play. There were impressive performances from all teams, and I hope everyone had a good time. Congratulations to Toronto for going 6-1 to win this tournament.

Final stats can be found here.

the third garrideb

We should be good with staff, as it stands. :)

the third garrideb

The field currently looks as follows:

Waterloo (3-4)
Guelph (1)
Toronto (1)

First post has been updated with location, fee, and field information.

This is now happening on Saturday, October 02.

minusfive wrote:I assume more peeps are coming and are just being coy with numbers?

Such is my hope. I'm waiting to hear from Guelph shortly about numbers, plus we have at least a couple of house teams.

I would like to know: how many people would be able to make it if this were pushed back a week to October 2?

the third garrideb

At least a couple people from Waterloo have expressed interest in attending this, so we'll probably have one team. We can also bring a set of buzzers, and at least one staffer.

Waterloo can also provide one set of buzzers, if needed.

the third garrideb

This was indeed as awesome as previously indicated. Thanks for writing this! (And thanks to Guelph for running it.)

the third garrideb

So yeah, it looks like just the one team from Waterloo. We'll also have one set of buzzers and one moderator.

the third garrideb

Waterloo will have at least one team for this. I'll confirm exact numbers once I know more.

the third garrideb

I'm going to see how much interest there is from Waterloo, but we'll have at least one player at this.

Any details on fees and stuff? (Are you keeping this a doubles tournament?)

the third garrideb

We've just submitted a packet as well, so there'll be at least one Waterloo team attending this.

the third garrideb

It looks like Waterloo will have 2-3 DII teams and 0 DI teams. We will be bringing 1 buzzer and 1 moderator.
