If you are interested in attending a Sectional, please contact the host of the site most convenient to you, at the above listed email address. Please note this list is not final, we are actively searching for locations in the Southwest, and lower Midwest. As additional sites are added, the list will be updated at: http://www.naqt.com/sct/hosts.jsp

If your school is in one of those areas and considering hosting the tournament, please contact us at [email protected] as soon as possible.

I've heard through the grapevines that Carleton is now hosting the SCT North instead of St. Olaf.

Just out of curiosity, is there any chance the Pittsburgh site could give us a field update?

If you want to know, it would probably be best to just email Dwight Kidder directly....I'm not sure if he reads the forums regularly.

Although, I think there are a few who notably haven't officially registered.. ahem, Case.

Here's what I was told when I registered us:
Right now Division I is:
Edinboro, Boise State(long story), Ohio State, CMU, Penn.
Division II:
Mt. St. Mary's, RIT, Miami(x3), Case Western(x2), Ohio State, CMU.

We're also waiting on confirmation of attendance from (in roughly decreasing order of certainty):
Robert Morris, Swarthmore, Villanova, Akron, Cleveland State, Penn State, West Virginia, Marshall, Grove City, Duquesne.

Boise State(long story)

Yeah, as you can see in my signature, I am in an online grad program along with a buddy of mine thru BSU. I checked with Dwight and he said it would be handled the same way as a team like Maryland last year or Chicago this year attending more than one site.

We'll likely get manhandled, but it'll be fun to play against some friends.

Although, I think there are a few who notably haven't officially registered.. ahem, Case.

Well, we haven't officially registered because I do not yet know how many buzzers we'll be bringing (power packets for two buzzers systems are en route as I speak), but we'll definately be there. Although...

Case Western (x2)

...is incorrect. It'll just be one team.

I made a stupid post. Never mind.
EDIT-removing what I said

I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a team from Kent State. Doesn't Ike Jose take enough classes there to count as a DII team? I would think that he could possibly win the DII ICT on his own, or at least finish in the top 5, and then also take Stow-Munroe Falls into the top 5 at the HSNCT.

It probably would have been better to PM me about this through the Ohio forums, but I'm pretty sure I'm not coming.

Does anyone have any results on who made the field?

Results from Pitt:

CMU won a one game final over Penn in DI to bring our record against them on the day to 2-2. Cornell A finished third. High scorers were (I believe) me, Bob Kilner, and Mehdi.

Ohio State won DII. After the playoffs they were in a circle of death with Case and Miami A - I don't know who got second. The top scorers, in some order I'm not at all sure of, were Spencer from Miami, Jacob Durst, Steven Wellstead, and Dmitriy Chernyak

Illinois won a one-game final against Chicago in D1. Chicago got first in D2, followed by Missouri.
