Sorry for the long delay in posting this officially, but we waited to see if there would be any more potential interest and also needed some extra time to work out the exact details. That said, I'm pleased to announce: The First Annual Mike DeSantis, Esq., Memorial TRASH Tournament, _at_ The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD Saturday, March 27th, 2004 ELIGIBILITY: We are allowing any players who are currently affiliated with a college or university as a student at any level (ie. undergrad, grad, law, med, etc.). Teams composed of players from multiple schools will be allowed as well. However, only teams composed entirely of undergrads from the same school will be eligible for the top spots in the playoffs and prizes (though depending on the involvement, there will also be a prize for top individual masters player). PRICING (taken pretty much straight from mid-Atlantic TRASH Regionals): $75 for the first team $60 for the second team $50 for the third and additional teams -$10 per working buzzer system -$10 per moderator/scorekeeper -$15 if you're coming from more than 200 miles away as determined by MapQuest No school will pay less than $40 per team. TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE: This will depend on the number of teams who wish to compete. We are shooting for a straight round robin format with three rounds of single-elimination playoffs and consolation games for those who don't make the playoffs. Every team will be offered a minimum of 8 preliminary rounds and 3 playoff rounds; if we get enough teams, we'll be capping the tournament at 11 prelim rounds and 3 tournament rounds, in the interests of time. PACKETS: You need not write them, as this is an in-house written tournament. LOCATION/DATE/TIME: The tournament will be held on Saturday, March 27th, at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. We will begin at 9 o'clock sharp, with registration most likely beginning at 8. RANDOM NOTE: To all of those who mentioned they'd prefer a tournament the following weekend, I'm sorry--this was by far the more popular date. That's about it for now. We're asking teams to officially register as quickly as possible at nosborn3[at]jhu[dot]edu (even if you previously e-mailed me about interest). Also, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to write to that address. Thanks a lot, and we're looking forward to a great tournament.
