Hi all--
as of this morning all of the new votes I've received in the past
week, about Nationals
being one vs two day, have been in favor of a one day icarnation. Due
to a number of
important points that these messages brought to my attention-- team
budget
crunches, travel difficulties, the prospect of two whole weekends
lost to quizbowl in a
row-- coupled with my confidence in the staff that Dave H. and I are
in the process of
assembling, we have decided that Nationals can be run both enjoyably
and
expeditiously without play the night before. So ACF Nationals will
take place over the
course of one day on saturday April 10th, 2004 at UMCP.
I hope to see many of you there. If you have any questions about this
decision or
anything else pertaining to the tournament please email me, eberdich
at umich dot
edu, or Dave, dhamiltn at wam dot umd dot edu, for clarification or
more information.
Further logistical and packet requirements will be posted shortly.
Thanks,
Ezequiel Berdichevsky
