I would like to apologize for 2 things: running 2 hours overtime and cancelling the final two consolation games for all teams ranked 17 through 56. We could have been better organized for the latter rounds in the day, and we suffered from a few readers who were slow and/or inexperienced. On the othe...

Au contraire, Paul from Hunter B, you did indeed win the valuable prize for the highest # of "neg's" with 23 in 7 games (and in spite of that, ranked 13 overall with a 47.86 ppg). But your prize, in keeping with our theme and in our tradition, is not a mere "old book," but a grus...

Kellenberg Mem. HS will attempt its first ACF. One team, 3-4 buzzers, 0 moderators.

Kellenberg will bring a 4th buzzer. Should I bring my laptop?

Could you please contact me (bronigel (at) kellenberg (dot) org) off board so that I can get an email for Stuy and more solid info. Thank you.

Our field has now grown to 21 schools and around 60 schools. Although we are fine with buzzers (thanks to the schools attending!), we COULD be a little short on experienced moderators who would be willing to read and keep score in game rooms. Any volunteers out there who might be in the NYC/Long Isl...

Possibly 2 teams, 4 buzzers, 1 moderator.

No, they didn't. The other schools in the field (besides the ones mentioned above in the top 16) were Bensalem, Bloomfield, Chatham, Colonia, Great Neck South, Half Hollow Hills West, Lawrenceville, MAST, North Babylon, North Shore, Northern Valley, Pingry, St. Andrew's Epis., Stuyvesant, Tatnall, a...

Because of limited personnel, LIFT IX will have a maximum of 48 teams.

I also need some active contact from 3 schools from the field above to determine your status: Hunter, Seton Hall and White Plains.

Edit: ....or not.

BroNi

With regret, Kellenberg will be bringing only one team Saturday. Still 3 buzzers and one mod.

BroNi

So sorry, forgot to check there. Thanks!

What time do you need us there by and what building should we report to?

Hi. Since it has remained open, would you guys be willing to put LIFT IX (Kellenberg MHS, Uniondale, NY) down for 10/24? I know it is a bit of a trip, but since we come down to you guys, maybe some of you might be willing to make the trip. We are using NAQT IS-88.

Definitely better for us to leave it on Saturday.

What tournament does this refer to? On a Monday? Did you mean the Tar Heel Cup @ UNC on 9/26? Or did UMD announce something that I missed? Is UMD having a Fall Tourney this year?

In your "Just Misses" list, you have Flushing (NY). I'm pretty sure I know most of the teams from NY, especially the southeast corner, and I have never heard of them as an active QB team. Sure you didn't mean this team: http://www.naqt.com/stats/school.jsp?org_id=58017 ?

This is a huge disappointment - Graduation conflicts with this date, so Kellenberg will not be able to attend. We had a great time this year, and thoroughly enjoyed the rigorous competiton. It's a shame.

Kellenberg might in interested in the doubles side event....if it doesn't go too late.

I will bring a laptop if you still need it.

BroNi

Um.....perhaps Kellenberg should be designated "B" as all of our seniors are in Disney World and all our juniors are taking the SAT. So only 1 member of our A team, a sophomore, will be there, plus assorted members of our other teams, all sophs and younger.

Kellenberg is considering sending 1 or 2 teams to this.

When exactly should an "advantaged final" be used? For instance, Saturday at MITBAT, HHHW finished the (Swiss Pairs) 6 round Preliminaries with the only perfect record of 6-0. Kellenberg A (5-1) was one of the teams they beat. The top 6 teams were then moved into a Playoff round robin. Kel...

Kudos for an excellent tournament! Questions, readers, logistics, starting and ending time, stats, lunch, ability to solve problems quickly (as in the 6 Feet Under mix-up), even down to the small details of having preprinted receipts. And did I mention questions? I thought the set was very balanced ...

BroNi

Kellenberg can bring a 4th team....possibly even a 5th if you can accommodate them!

BroNi

Where can we park a small school bus? Parking garages are a no go. Any open lots around that will allow us in?

Put us down for 4 teams, 4 buzzers and 2 moderators.

I will gladly offer my services as a moderator, and may be able to bring an additional moderator as well.
