This is the short and sweet announcement for the William Wirt Memorial
Open, which will be held at the University of Maryland in College Park
on March 4. The tournament will be held in Jimenez (the usual building).
Questions will be provided by the writing team of Matt Weiner, Dan
Passner, and Paul Litvak. No packet submission is required. Question
difficulty will be moderate, in the neighborhood of NAQT Sectionals
and ACF Regionals, and question style will be ACF.
The tournament will be open to all teams, including masters teams, but
aims to be enjoyable for the average collegiate team.
