Re: The SJHS Mirror of GSAC XX, December 15, 2012
Of course, as soon as schools who have not yet given me a precise number of teams do in fact give me exact numbers, I can then know if other teams on the waiting list can be moved into the field. So, please remit exact team numbers as soon as possible. Thanks. Mountain Lakes will definitely have 3 ...

Re: New York Discussion 2012-13
Does anyone know if Half Hollow Hills West is having their tournament this year (and if so, when, and on what possible set) ?
I know that they usually have their tournament the first Saturday in January, but according to the NAQT website that is now also the date of Scarsdale's tournament.
