Re: SUBMIT Global Announcement
Berkeley is in the Pacific Northwest now, eh?
In any event, if Berkeley could post an announcement (or at least confirm a date) ASAP, that would be awesome, as I think we'll try to attend their mirror. (I don't suppose Chicago is going to fly out for that tournament again?)

We still have to resolve that because of conflicts with other events. It might happen as early as January 25 or as late as May 3.Mike Bentley wrote:Is there a date for the Berkeley mirror yet?

Will there be discounts for teams submitting packets when they don't need to?

Re: SUBMIT Global Announcement
Sure, that'd be good to know.If you want it broken down by specific category I can tell you that too.
Also, are you guys implementing anything along the lines of a length cap? One of the big differences between WIT and Terrapin last year was question length (Terrapin had some 8-and-9 line long questions, WIT's were hard-capped at 7 lines), and I was wondering if you guys made any particular decision about that.

Re: SUBMIT Global Announcement
Since Northeastern's teams (both A and B) weren't required to submit a packet, will it still be a $50 discount for each of our teams?

Updated the packet list. Tanay's handling the mirrors and he said that the list was current as of a little more than a week ago. I'll ask him to post about the current status.
