Yep, see you there. Maybe with two teams, but money might be an issue.

I've heard talk of parties interested in mirroring MUT at any one of four sites in the lower Midwest. I'm hoping that will condense to one of two Chicago area sites.JackGlerum wrote:Any chance this might get mirrored in the lower Midwest?

Re: Minnesota Undergrad Tournament 2011
In regards to packet submission, it's not necessary or required. If you'd like to write some questions for a potential discount, e-mail some of the Minnesota people to work things out, as we probably don't want full fledged packet submissions (some parts of the distribution are almost done already, so why would we ask you to write that?).

If Mizzou got a mirror together, Valley would definitely come.

If you aren't able to get an entire team together, you can always play solo for a discount, or get the same discount but request teammates from Minnesota.suchacardinal wrote:I'm interested in going, I'll pitch the idea to my team Monday and get back to you.

Re: Minnesota Undergrad Tournament 2011
Since Maryland is insufficiently "New England" for us, some coalition of Yale, Harvard, and MIT players will likely be staffing a delayed mirror of this at MIT in Cambridge, MA, on April 23rd. More info to follow...

Re: Minnesota Undergrad Tournament 2011
Sorry for the lateness of my reply, but I would like to confirm that Saint Thomas will have one team. However, we are going rouge and do not have the school's financial support. Is it possible to try and negotiate a slightly reduced fee?

Re: Minnesota Undergrad Tournament 2011
Glad to see you managed to get a full team! Since you are a high school and going rogue, we can work out a reduced fee. Either email me at [email protected], or we can figure it out on Saturday morning.suchacardinal wrote:Sorry for the lateness of my reply, but I would like to confirm that Saint Thomas will have one team.

Re: Minnesota Undergrad Tournament 2011
Eden Prairie is in the same situation as St. Thomas. We can bring one team though if finances work out.

There seem to be a bit of a program with the statistics (specifically, trying to link to the team detail page from the standings, etc.)
