Auburn is interested.

How are y'all defining new to Quiz Bowl for the sake of that discount?

WKU will probably have 1-2 (possibly more) teams at this. We would have maybe had more interest for a Saturday tournament, but I have a feeling that some members of our club aren't going to be happy with returning late on a Sunday night, and will choose to not go when they may have otherwise. Either way we're going to try to get as many people to go as absolutely possible and I'll email you when I get more precise numbers.

Millsaps is interested in possibly sending two teams (one would be novice if we sent two).

Harding should be attending this with at least one team. Maybe two.

LSU is likely interested. We'd have at least 2 teams, including 1 novice team.

Tulane is probably interested, potentially with 2-3 teams, one of which would most likely be novice. Ambiguity!

Actually, Tulane can no longer attend this event due to some scheduling conflicts.

Can we get a field update?

So, yeah, UF is coming to this.

Edit: We don't know when we will get our packets in. We are going to try really hard to get them in tomorrow, but there was some miscommunication within the program and we will try to remedy it.

Field updated in the original post. Emails will be sent out soon to all teams.

We'll only have one team at this.

Small field update again. Please note that the location has changed from Bidgood Hall to ten Hoor Hall.

We are officially at one team for this.

Auburn might have 2 teams at this. I will figure it out after practice tomorrow.

Yea, we are only going to have one team.

Georgia Tech and Florida went 9-0 and 8-1 respectively in round-robin play, then Florida took the first game of the advantaged final. The second game was in progress when I left, more is sure to come later.

Georgia Tech ended up winning the advantaged final.

When can we expect stats to be posted?

Stats are posted here: http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournament ... all_games/

The ten teams played a round robin that finished with Georgia Tech A going 9-0 and Florida A going 8-1. They played an advantaged final that Florida won the first game of. Georgia Tech won the second game to win the tournament.

Thanks for hosting this!
