Directions:

A map of the UT campus can be found at
http://www.utk.edu/maps/campus/campus-map-2006-07.pdf --
the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) building is near the center
of the map. Parking is available in the S9 lot at the end of the HSS
building and the C8 lot across the street. Directions to UT are at
http://www.utk.edu/maps/directions.shtml and take you to the Campus
Information Center, which is adjacent to the C8 lot.  (If you're
coming from the east, you'll probably want to get off at Exit 386 and
follow the directions for coming from the west... construction may
make following the other directions difficult/impossible.)

Food and Lodging:

Everything you could possibly want to eat is available on the
Cumberland Ave. Strip -- it's the large east-west street near the top
of the map linked above.  As for lodging, if you're coming from the
west or south, most major hotel chains have a location in the Cedar
Bluff area of west Knoxville; if you're coming from the north or east,
there are several hotels in the Merchants Drive area. If you need more
info about anything, just send me an email.

Please let us know if you're planning to attend, and how many teams
you'll be bringing, by emailing me at silverleaf22 at yahoo dot com.

Thanks,
