Currently no others. If people have any ideas on Sunday, I'd be up for it, at least until I have to go to a dissertation group.

If I get around to it, I may write an Arrested Development packet of shorter tossups and possibly bonuses.Cheynem wrote:Currently no others. If people have any ideas on Sunday, I'd be up for it, at least until I have to go to a dissertation group.

Anyone up for a regular tossup-only guerrilla tournament on Sunday?

I'm not 100% sure we have rooms for what it's worth.
EDIT: If we do, I'd be up for it, although I wouldn't have much time to write anything.

Hey MO attendees: Who is bringing buzzers? Michigan? Brendan? Wisconsin types? We technically only need two three more, but more is always better than fewer, and you get tasty tasty discounts.

Laferbrook's entirely my fault - I'll try to get my 6/6 to you by tonight.

I wasn't trying to suggest any duplicity on your part, it's sometimes difficult to keep these things straight.

Just so people know, the local weather forecast says it is supposed to snow (potentially up to six inches) in the Twin Cities on Saturday.
The weather should be nice on Friday though.

Congrats to Seth, Selene, Matt, and Ryan for clearing the field. Full stats are posted but I can't give you the link while on my phone. You can find it through the tournament db.

I had a good time playing, so thanks to all the editors and writers. It was a special treat playing alongside Russell Westbrook--it's great to see that he's turned to quizbowl during the lockout. I had some worries going in about his usage rate, but there was really no problem there, and he came up with several clutch bonus assists throughout the day. I warmly recommend him for all your open tournament and acrobatic lay-up needs.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Seth. If you (and Selene) wouldn't mind commenting on the science whenever you have time in the other thread, I'd really really appreciate it.setht wrote:I had a good time playing, so thanks to all the editors and writers.
