Is this definitely open to just CC's, or would novice 4-year college teams be allowed as well?

Novice 4 year teams are def. going to be allowed. Sorry for not mentioning it in the post above.

Novice meaning freshmen and sophomores only or players in their first or second years of collegiate competition?

Eligibility changed, see below message.

UPDATE:

The CC division shall be using NAQT IS-68. But recently we were able to secure the rights to mirror Princeton's Parfait III. So the 4 year division shall be run using those surely excellent questions. Thanks to Guy and Princeton for the use of their set. If anyone has more questions then email us at [email protected].

Also, since we are using these question the tournament is now going to be open to ALL students, undergrad. and grad.

Didn't you guys already use IS-68 for Ragnarok? Are you expecting a completely different batch of teams than those that went to Ragnarok? Just curious. I just thought it was kind of weird that you'd be using the same question set for two tournaments in the same semester.

Oh yeah, and if I can convince the guys to come over for the PARFAIT III mirror, then we'll come.

What's the field look like for the PARFAIT mirror? I have no idea if we'd even be able to field any teams, but depending on who else will be there, I'm sure we'll consider it...

UTC should be able to field a team for the PARFAIT mirror.

We haven't talked about it too much yet, but the initial response of people seemed to indicate we'll probably bring a team or two.

Ok, the tourney is this week and I am still waiting on a fair amount of maybes.

Sadly, the same applies to Vanderbilt. I was hoping to make it down, but no one shared my sentiment.
