Southeast-Midwest Housewrite @ Eastern Canada (Saturday, May 1st, 2021)
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:47 pm
Hello, Canada!
In the absence of an available club to host this mirror, I, Meghan Torchia, will be independently directing a mirror of the Southeast-Midwest Housewrite, to be held over Discord on Saturday, May 1st, 2021.
Fees and Registration
These and any subsequent dollar amounts I mention are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise specified.
Base fee: $100
Shorthanded Discount: -$25 for a team of 1 or 2 players
New Team Discount: -$25 if the university has not fielded a team at a tournament since August 1, 2019
To register, please send me an email at meghan [DOT] torchia [AT] gmail [DOT] com with the number of teams your school is sending and any discounts you'd like to claim. Please note that this is a closed mirror, only players affiliated with a university will be permitted to play. High school players will not be permitted to play or staff this event.
Staffing
If you'd like to staff this event, please send me an email at the address above, or message me on Facebook or Discord. Staffers will be paid -- the exact amount will depend on the field and the number of staffers I end up with -- I guarantee this will be at least $20 and will likely be more.
Eligibility
This tournament is exclusive to college teams; middle school and high school players may not play or moderate for this tournament. There will be no formal restrictions on strong players but a good rule of thumb would be “if you played ACF Winter, you can probably play this tournament.”
I've written "Eastern Canada" in the title of this announcement to reflect the circuit for which it is intended, but if you are from another part of Canada and would like to play this mirror, please let me know.
Set Info
The difficulty of the Southeast-Midwest Housewrite is around the level of 2018 PACE or 2019 ILLIAC; about 1.5 dots on the dot scale.

Stevenson], Katherine Lei [MIT], Dylan Bowman [UIUC], Ethan Strombeck [Stanford], William Groger [Miami Valley], and Ethan Ashbrook [UMN] with featured writers from Yale, UIUC, Stanton College Prep, Lambert, and University Lab. Taylor Harvey [UF] will be acting as a general overseer. The distribution per packet is as follows:

Misconduct
This tournament will not tolerate misconduct such as, but not limited to: racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, verbal harassment of players or staff, and generally inappropriate comments. A link to the misconduct form as well as the IKEA Code of Conduct, to which we’ll be adhering, will be available and visible on the server.
Cheating
Cheating will not be tolerated at this tournament. Video will be required for all players; if this is not an option please let us know beforehand via email or Discord.
