In response to R. and some of the other posts regarding this issue, I can see how/why the decision was made. However, I still think this is an absolute shame for the people planning to attend Div II ICT. Playing against a team with two "veterans" of the tournament, who happen to be outstanding, and whose team's S-Value is far above that of any other Div II team at Sectionals last weekend is extremely disappointing. The tournament essentially has gone from one where any team in the field could win, depending on luck, packets, etc. to one where it is almost a de facto result ahead of time. We might as well send them the trophy already, if the same four that played at West Coast SCT are playing at ICT. I really don't understand why UCLA can't keep its bid, but Meigs and Sherman be declared ineligible. I don't know if the other Div II competitors are as outraged as I am, because frankly, I don't know how many of them check this board and are aware of the situation. However, I do think that an explanation e- mail should be sent out to every team that qualified for Div II ICT. Furthermore, this only furthers the argument in my mind that people should have two years of Div II ICT eligibility. That way, issues like this could be avoided entirely. I'm eager to hear what the resolution/fallout of this issue will be as soon as everyone is made aware of what happened. Rather irked, Nick Walters President, Penn College Bowl
