I don't think we heard confirmation from Minnesota, but Maryland would still like to mirror MO.

Off the top of my head:
Mike Bentley's VAIN (videogame thing), various other videogame things
apparently Ike Jose has some goofy lit packet
Andrew Hart's music thing?
maybe Eyes That Do Not See II?
We're a little hampered on Sunday by the fact we get something of a late start, so we can't run a ton of events, although we could always try last year's strategy of burning some events at Mayo. I may or may not cobble together a packet for the amusement of the children.

I was probably going to run the prelims of my thing over lunch on Saturday (it should only take about 30 minutes). The finals could be right after MO (would take about 20 mins) or on Sunday, depending on travel plans.

If the whispered-about RPG event is still in the cards, I have a packet for that. It would need to finish pre-1:30ish on Sunday given my flight arrangements.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Minnesota Open III (11.20.10-11.21.10)
I've made a long-overdue update to the packet/field list; I'd really like to hear soon from Magin and his team about when their packet might be coming. I've heard rumblings about packets from various teams at the east and west coast sites; those teams will surely receive some sort of discount.
We've still got room for more teams, as should be obvious; in particular I'd like to hear about Toronto's prospective attendance and about Chris Romero's suggestion that he'd bring a team if this didn't conflict with HFT, which it now conveniently doesn't.

Will no doubt get out to Minn at some point.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Minnesota Open III (11.20.10-11.21.10)
Barring anything out of the ordinary, I'm going to lock the field here at nine teams. We're projecting a 15-packet set (13 + 2 finals), though there's a small outside chance we could get a sixteenth together. The main site's format will likely be as follows: after a full round robin with packet byes as appropriate, we'll drop the house/chimera team and do a 4/4 bracketed RR, followed by standard ACF-style finals, which I may or may not read from behind a beard of bees on a stick.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Minnesota Open III (11.20.10-11.21.10)
Since no one on my team can write science questions that use clues rewarding what people in science actually do, if anyone not contributing to an MO packet would like to write 3/3 or 4/4 science for us, I will reciprocate by writing you the same number of(non-science) questions for another tournament. My email is [email protected]; this offer is on a first come, first serve basis.

Any MO attendees interested in playing basketball on Friday night? I'd need to reserve a court, so there would be a $5 charge. Send me an email at [email protected] if you're interested; if we can get six or so involved, I'll go ahead and reserve one.

We sort of discussed this on Westbrook's FB status, but Michigan is arriving too late to play basketball. :-(. I'd definitely be interested at another tournament.theMoMA wrote:Any MO attendees interested in playing basketball on Friday night? I'd need to reserve a court, so there would be a $5 charge. Send me an email at [email protected] if you're interested; if we can get six or so involved, I'll go ahead and reserve one.

It looks like there isn't enough interest in Friday night bball. Would Michigan and Illinois people be willing to play on Sunday morning? I can probably find us a court (and we'd be back in time for Sunday events). When are you guys leaving?

We are leaving early (9-10, possibly even earlier) because we're gaining an hour on the ride home. So unless this game is super early, we may be out. I will bring shorts just in case though.

All qb discussion shall henceforth occur as responses to my Facebook status updates!
But anyway, I'm cool with Sunday morning.

Magin is also in, but since he's staying with us his participation will depend upon our going or not.
To whomever is getting the court, this would have to be SUPER early because I don't know when other Michigan people want to leave.
