To rephrase my teammate's post, the University of Florida currently intends to host its annual Sunshine State Invitational tournament on Jan 15th, to be followed by a trash tournament on Sunday the 16th. It's nine months away, so we'll hold off on the formal announcements for a while. As usual, all questions will be written in-house, and either Kevin or I will be the chief editor. I might be doing it this year because of Kevin's travels. It is perfectly understandable that GT would prefer the 1/15 date because doing their tournament a week earlier as usual would be more difficult on 1/8, possibly conflicting with winter breaks for some schools. Despite the relative proximity of the schools, about 325 miles apart, I don't think it would be disastrous for the two tournaments to run on the same weekend. Most of our SSI field tends to come from Florida or environs, and most of the GT MLK field in the past two years has come from the Atlanta vicinity or northward, I think. Only a handful of schools or players have attended both tournaments in the past two years, I think. So, while not the ideal circumstance, it's really not that harmful to either school or to the southeastern qb community if both tournaments run on the same weekend. --Raj Dhuwalia, University of Florida ********************** --- In quizbowl_at_yahoogroups.com, the_uf_engineer <no_reply_at_y...> wrote: > Wow it looks like Ga Tech is just poaching everyone's tournament > dates... the Sunshine State Invitational has been held MLK weekend > for three consecutive years, making its next incarnation, of course > January 15th, 2005 and I confirmed with Kevin Comer he wanted to run > it that weekend again.
