Is this tournament happening? Raleigh Charter is not able to come, but I was wondering if anyone else was committed. I hadn't heard anything recently.

We are still in need of moderators. If you are willing to read, please contact us. We are still offering $10 discount for a moderator.

We will continue to accept registrations until the end of the day Thursday, April 7th.

If the fields stay as they are, we will start off with two 8-team round robins, followed by rebracketing into 4 playoff round-robins.

There are data missing, too. The Team Detail page is a 404.

Sorry to anyone confused by the SQBS report. I am rather inexperienced in using SQBS as a scorekeeping program; however, I have learned much from this tournament. The oversights made in this tournament will not happen in a future tournament.

We had two initial round robins of 8 teams and 7 teams, and we rebracketed into playoff brackets of 3 brackets of 4 teams and 1 bracket of 3 team. The winner of the top playoff bracket was cave spring.

Unfortunately, I did not have the foresight to create a new tournament page for the playoff rounds, so the data you see uploaded is the amalgamated scores from both the prelims and playoffs.

This has been corrected.

Again, I apologize for the mistakes/errors in scorekeeping; however, if you still have any questions or advice, please feel free to contact me.
