With this being less than a month away, is it still happening? I don't think that a formal announcement has been made yet.Frater Taciturnus wrote: January 23: VCU Winter Tournament (Richmond, Virginia) (VCU/Vandy)

Sorry for all the jumping around- but the final resting place for the Maggie Walker BATE mirror will be 5/14.

Is UMCP planning on hosting another house-written Spring Tournament in late-May this year again (presumably the 21st)? No Halldor Laxness questions this time.

This is indeed still happening and has since been announced.

TJ would like to change the date for our housewrite to 3/20, rather than 4/9. Circumstances arose which forced us to plan on changing the date to the weekend of 3/19-3/20 before we heard of Blair's plans... unfortunately, there's no other date between now and mid-May that can work for us.
Full tournament announcement will be posted shortly.

Fortunately, I think that Blue Hen is going to fall on 3/5, so there shouldn't be any conflicts.

Hunter's Prison Bowl is on 3/5, which would certainly be a conflict. GDS has already registered for Prison Bowl, which would make attempting to defend Matt Jackson's Blue Hen title and returning the trophy quite difficult… Also, we would like to attend each tournament just to play more quizbowl.mastaloo wrote:Fortunately, I think that Blue Hen is going to fall on 3/5, so there shouldn't be any conflicts.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
So far, that's a conflict for literally one team.
Interestingly, that very same team, GDS, has said in another thread that it would be unable to attend tournaments on April 9th as well... this also applies to Walter Johnson and St. Anselm's. See here, starting at this point in the thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11061#p207974
As it turns out, March 5th is your best bet.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
Looking at the field for Prison Bowl, though, it seems that quite a few local teams are either heading up or are interested in going. Would 4/23 work?

April 23 would work for GDS, but I think that we are (once again) not representative of what would be the majority of your field. I think that the "day before Easter" question has been debated in the past: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8379&p=163076. Matt Weiner eventually decided not to host a tournament on the day before Easter.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
Well, in way I guess thats true? VCU moved our tournament because that was when all the high schools seemed to be having spring break, not because of the DAY BEFORE EASTER (cue thundercrack in background)jlchockey94 wrote:April 23 would work for GDS, but I think that we are (once again) not representative of what would be the majority of your field.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
Yes and yes. My point is that last year, those competitions were in January and February. Now we have them all crammed into March and April and other longer and more established tournaments (like Blue Hen which for some reason never called a date even though in the past they've been known to claim one a year ahead of time) are trying to fit in too. I don't know why those schools (or, St. Anselm's for the second tournament) could not have stuck with around the same dates this year. TJ held a competition in January in 2009, (tried to) in January in 2010, and this year apparently decided to push it back two months.dtaylor4 wrote:I think TJ's is later.

We picked our April date for Rider Bowl because last year there wasn't much else around during that time. But now, even though there was no Delaware NAQT Championship this year (for the first time in almost a decade), Blue Hen still can't fit itself in anywhere.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
Perhaps after the impact of snow on last year's tournament schedule, those wild and crazy kids running those tournaments chose to go ahead and stick their tournaments on the dates where there was less chance of a sudden cancellation?

In some cases, these tournaments are (probably) major fundraisers for travel to other tournaments and nationals.

In March, people run into conflicting spring breaks, but that's gonna happen with any date around that time of year.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
I'd like to point out that schools are not avoiding hosting tournaments in January and February. VCU, Cave Spring and TJ will all have hosted a tournament during those months by the end of this year. Secondly, I'm not sure why you are, or at least seem to be, blaming other schools for the University of Delaware's inability to find a free weekend for Blue Hen. A school has every right to claim whatever date they please, regardless of who has claimed that date in past years. This year many teams claimed Spring dates early. Please don't complain about teams claiming dates early. The only people who should be blamed for the University of Delaware's inability to host Blue Hen is the University of Delaware. Why? Because they did not claim a date early this year, even as the Spring schedule filled up.Carangoides ciliarius wrote:So, like, high schools should just never have competitions in January and February now?

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
OK would anyone be opposed to RM hosting on Easter Saturday? Is Delaware still planning on using that day? Is it the opinion of the elders of the community that an Easter Saturday/Spring Break tourney would be inadvisable?

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
I'm sorry I haven't been able to give a definite date for our tournament. Again, we have winter session right now and nobody is around to discuss details. I'm hoping by this Thursday that we'll have an answer, and we'll just have to go with it at this point.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
I probably won't be able to tell you for some time whether we'd be able to attend on that Saturday, but I will say that spring break weekends, especially Easter weekend, are a bad idea if you're looking for a significant number of teams to attend your tournament. Without question, your attendance will be hurt. Of course, it's still better than no tournament at all (or a weekend with even worse drawbacks) if it comes to that.Wurzel-Flummery wrote:OK would anyone be opposed to RM hosting on Easter Saturday?

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
This is true every year. Trying to run a tournament during this time frame will end up with a depressed field, regardless of what date ends up being chosen.Howard wrote:I probably won't be able to tell you for some time whether we'd be able to attend on that Saturday, but I will say that spring break weekends, especially Easter weekend, are a bad idea if you're looking for a significant number of teams to attend your tournament.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
We would like to run Blue Hen on 3/26. There shouldn't be many, if any, conflicts with VCU's tournament.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
Our administration changed its mind about allowing us to run tournaments on Sundays, so TJ's spring tournament will be held on Saturday, April 30 rather than March 20. Many thanks to VCU for accommodating us.

Are both of these tournaments still happening? If so, have announcements been posted for each?Frater Taciturnus wrote:We will be mirroring the LIST set on either the 15th or 22nd of May.

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
Hey,
I just heard back from JR that they (Maggie Walker) wont be mirroring BATE. If someone in the MD/DC/VA area wants to mirror it sometime before the season is over, please let me know ASAP by emailing me at [email protected]. If no one lets me know by Monday morning (May 2nd) I will start a discussion thread.
