Great! See you tomorrow.

SHP Pirate

George,

Would you please clarify the status of tomorrow's tournament. I received two e-mails this morning -both at 7:49. The first stated that the tournament was rescheduled for March 26. The second stated that the tournament was on as scheduled.

Michael

Edit: never mind!

SHP Pirate

If possible, SHP will claim the spot vacated by St. Josephs. In addition, I will have final count tomorrow but I may have up to two additional teams available if you can accomodate. (For a total of 4.)

SHP Pirate

Registration sent via e-mail tonight. One team, four buzzers, and possibly more teams by Monday or Tuesday. Paper copy of registration to follow tomorrow.

Ed, As I am on holiday right now, I do not have my calendar with me. However, you know that I will be more than happy to read or even handle stats if need be. In addition, I may be able to rouse an alum or two to read. As to host teams playing in events. I certainly have no problem in regards to St....

SHP Pirate

A question to HHH ... Traditionally, your tournament guarantees only four or five prelim rounds. Considering both the economy and the fact that you are using an "A" packet, would you consider either more rounds or a reduced cost? $90 seems steep for so few rounds. What about round-robin pl...

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall will be there. One team, one reader, and four buzzers.

SHP Pirate

Andy,

We will bring all for buzzers and I will be happy to moderate if needed.

SHP Pirate

Andy,

I have not yet had a chance to look at my e-mail. I do understand your situation, but I need to make a decision soon. I will get back to you via e-mail later today.

SHP Pirate

Andy,

As a coach who has already made travel plans based upon your having included us in your field on this board, I must insist that you get in touch with me as soon as possible.

SHP will definitely have two teams and 4 buzzers. I will help moderate (if needed) when I arrive @ 1:00. By the way ... Jimmy will be leaving @ 2:00 for another function.

Sorry I have not been in touch. (Open House this week at school!)

Brief results from Yale... The field wound up at 25 instead of 24. Five brackets of five prelims with top 12 teams advancing into two brackets of six with a final crossover. In the "Give you up" bracket, Kellenberg finished 5-0 (9-0 for the day at that point) while St. Joes A finished 4-1 ...

SHP Pirate

Please register Seton Hall Prep for one team and multiple buzzers. (up to four if needed)

SHP Pirate

Ronnie,

As Ed is far too humble to mention this, I will on his behalf. St. Joe's won the Pirate Open on 9/25 with a record of 10-1, losing only to Hunter B on the day (295-275) I would strongly consider them to be one of the top 2 or three teams in the NY/NJ region this year.

Just my two cents.

SHP Pirate

I am pleased to report that PACE has affiliated the Pirate Open and, as a result, the top four finishers (St. Joe's A, BCA A, Hunter B, and MAST) have all earned berths in the 2011 PACE National Scholastics Championship Tournament next June. Congratulations! In addition, to answer several questions ...

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall Prep will be there with one team, one moderator, and four buzzers.

SHP Pirate

SHP will be there with at least one team and definitely four buzzers. I will get in touch with you soon.

Dan, by any chance, are we one of those teams?

SHP Pirate

Quick results ...

Thanks to all those teams who played and a big thanks to my staff and students.

SHP Pirate

Thanks for the idea Steve. I have both a 27 and a 28 schedule ready to go. Let's see what everybody wants to do tomorrow morning.

SHP Pirate

Thanks! So much for sleep. The 12 round tournament will be a VERY long day and, with as many new(er) and B/C teams as we have coming, I am not sure that everyone will want to stay the full day. Both Bergen and St. Joe's have stretched themselves to bring extra teams so that we could reach 28 and hav...

SHP Pirate

Moravian just withdrew at 10:09 PM. I guess that we will have no choice but to play the 3 brackets of 9 round robin with a top 8 single elimination playoff. I apologize to all teams involved but at this late hour, I do not have any other options.

SHP Pirate

A final note before tomorrow. Please arrive as early as possible. We will begin preliminary rounds as soon as all teams have arrived. As long as the field remains stable, each team will play 10 rounds tomorrow. Breakfast (Dunkin Donuts and OJ) will be provided. Upon your arrival, each coach will be ...

SHP Pirate

With the addition of BCA B, we now have a field of 28! We will divide the field into 4 brackets of seven and play a round robin prelim. We will then rebracket into 1-8, 9-16, 17-24, and 25-28. The top three brackets will divide into two groups of four, play a three game round robin, then play a fina...

SHP Pirate

Awesome! I will add St. Joes C to the field. Again, the third team is gratis.

SHP Pirate

Seton Hall Prep would like to register one team and up to four buzzer systems, (Let us know how many you need.)

SHP Pirate

Still looking for one team to push us either to 27 or 28. Entry fee will be waived for that last team. If interested, please get in touch with me as soon as possible.

SHP Pirate

Half Hollow Hills West, despite the Herculean efforts of Alan Blayne, is now out. As of now, we are set at 26. I am waiting to hear if BCA will be bringing a second team or not. If they do not, we will need to create "Team USA" to get to a field of 27. If they DO bring a second team, I wou...

SHP Pirate

As of this morning, we are at 26 or 27 and still waiting for HHHW to confirm or withdraw. IF we have a field of 27, there are two options. 1. Play a 3x9 round robin prelim (8 games each) with top 8 advancing to single elimination. (We can construct some form of consolation rounds for those teams who...

Karen,

The last time I heard from your coach, she said " We would like to send a team.". I have not heard from her since. At this point, I need an answer by tomorrow.

Marisol ... I would LOVE the help! Send me an e-mail and we will talk. I will post a tournament update later today.

SHP Pirate

No worries. When I saw that UMD had announced, I figured that would be the most logical tournament for you to attend. We will most definitely see you at some point this year. Good luck!

Bumping this thread up a bit ... A reminder that September 25 is not that far away! As of right now, we have between 14-18 teams registered. Please remember ... I know that the date is VERY early for this region so do not worry about bringing a check with you. You can send me the check later this fa...

I would like to offer 10-11 rounds (of the available 12) between the prelim and playoff round robins. My goal for this tournament is to use it as a "warm-up" for the season. Let me know. We are about 2 1/2 hours from your school.

The tournament is on as scheduled! Below, please find the necessary details.

Seton Hall Preparatory School will be hosting an NAQT tournament on Saturday, September 25 in West Orange, NJ. Having spoken with Chad at HSNCT, we will most likely be using an "A" set. (Perhaps teams might use this tournament as a "warm-up" for next season?) The tournament has a...

SHP will certainly have at least one team, though we will try to bring as many as four. I will be meeting with my teams on Friday morning and I will get back to you at that point.

Provided that you have not yet reached your cap on teams, SHP would like to register. (Please tell Mr. Rabner that I am sorry for the delay. My wife and I had a little girl a few days ago!) I will e-mail him on Monday.
