After several frenzied e-mail correspondences, the field for Bulldogs Over Broadway 2002: Time to Drop the Samer has been officially set. The following teams will be competing in the tournament this Saturday in New Haven: 1. Brandeis 2. Cornell 3. Harvard 4. M.I.T. 5. Princeton A 6. Princeton B 7. Rice 8. Rutgers 9. Rutgers-Newark 10. Swarthmore 11. Yeshiva The tournament will be held in William L. Harkness Memorial Hall, generally abbreviated as WLH, on Cross Campus. A map indicating the locations of tournament headquarters, available parking locations, and the sites of convenient restaurants is posted on the YSAC website at: http://www.yale.edu/ysac/driving.html This page also contains driving directions from I-91, I-95, and the Wilbur Cross Parkway. Those schools interested in driving up on Friday and staying overnight should check the listing of New Haven accomodations at http://www.yale.edu/visitor/accommodations.html The Omni Hotel and Holiday Inn are both within easy walking distance of the tournament. IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT TIMES AND LOGISTICS Registration will begin at 9:00 in WLH's Room 112. Rounds will be held on WLH's first floor and will start promptly at 9:30. Since the tournament is scheduled to be a full round robin, we want to get started as quickly as possible. This will be a modified ACF format tournament, with untimed rounds consisting of 20 tossups and associated bonuses. The overall winner will be determined following a weighted best-of-three series of playoff matches. There will be individual prizes for high scorers. It is anticipated the tournament will run at least until 4:30-5:00 in the afternoon and possibly later, so make your travel plans accordingly. This should cover the major details about the tournament. Any further questions should be e-mailed to me at benjamin.gross_at_.... Also, if all teams bringing buzzers or moderators could please e-mail to confirm that as well, I would appreciate it greatly. I look forward to seeing all of you on Saturday! -Ben
