The address for the university is 100 E Normal St, Kirksville, MO 63501. We will be hosting this tournament in Baldwin Hall, which is Building No. 9 on this map. We request that teams arrive between 9 and 9:30, so that we can have the information meeting and start the tournament by 10:00 AM.

Really, MU's the only team signed up for this? What about all the local teams who are coming to your QUARK mirror the next week?

Spencer told me that he needed to get a head count from the WUSTL players. Alex Smith hasn't responded to any emails I've sent him, so who knows with S&T.

I would really like for this tournament to happen, but we need more teams to register for that to happen. Wash U, MO S&T, Missouri Valley, any takers?

EDIT: S&T has informed me that they have registered.

We would really like to add a view more of the "local teams" to this, so please contact me at [email protected] as soon as possible if you want to attend.

Given that we will have a field of four this, we will be using a double round-robin format.

Congratulations to Truman State A and Missouri S&T, who won first and second place respectively. Stats can be found here.
