Hey, Mike, does "per team" in your fee structure mean "per school" or "per registered team"? If the former, I'll be un-registering one of our buzzers. Sorry for the delay in asking; I didn't think to check because I hadn't realized hosts were allowed to change that.

Okie doke. Note then for planning purposes that we do have a total of 2 of each and the listing with the second team isn't just a duplicate.fett0001 wrote:Per team, not school.The Laughing Cavalier wrote:Hey, Mike, does "per team" in your fee structure mean "per school" or "per registered team"?

Now that the field is set, has there been any determination on what format it will be (round robin, round robin plus bracketed playoffs, etc.)?

Round-robin plus bracketed playoffs in Division I, round-robin in Division II. Finals if needed.

Re: NAQT SCT Mid-Atlantic @ Virginia Tech (2/8/14)
Yup. That's what Harry and I worked out at practice tonight. If staffing permits, we'll likely add a house team to Div 2 so that we don't have a bye.bt_green_warbler wrote:Round-robin plus bracketed playoffs in Division I, round-robin in Division II. Finals if needed.

Four in the upper and five in the lower, actually. We'd like to have packets available for tiebreakers and emergencies.Gonzagapuma1 wrote:So for D1, a round robin and then a split into five teams in the upper bracket and four teams in the lower?Huntur wrote:Yup.

We received a new registration this afternoon: Georgetown will be fielding a Division II team. Virginia Tech may still field a team, depending on staffing concerns. The final schedule will be announced at the opening meeting.
It appears that weather will not be an issue for Blacksburg. If you have weather related issues, contact me by the phone number in the earlier email.

Re: NAQT SCT Mid-Atlantic @ Virginia Tech (2/8/14)
So are there 9 teams in Division I right now? Why wouldn't Virginia Tech instead use the house team in that division, to avoid byes? This year byes seem particularly problematic, since so few teams will qualify for at-large bids and minimizing variability across sites is paramount. Not to mention byes at Sectionals just suck generally.

Nevermind, thought VT was already in the field.

Re: NAQT SCT Mid-Atlantic @ Virginia Tech (2/8/14)
First, I'd like to thank Bob Powers, Tamara Carson, Chuck Pearson, Andrew Feist, Nola Savage, Evan Magner, Luke Williams, Chris Poole, and Courtney Fowler for taking time out of their Saturday to help make this tournament run smoothly. We couldn't have done so without their help.
I'd also like to thank all the team provided staffers, as they contributed much to the quality of the tournament.
Finally, I'd like to congratulate Virginia A (DI), Maryland B (UG), and UNC B (DII) on their championships. Good luck at ICT!
