Due to two teams having to drop out of the tournament yesterday and today, there is now one vacant spot in the NAQT ICT Division I field. Previous vacancies have been filled off of our waitlist in ranked order. Now, however, with the tournament three days away, we assume that few teams not already planning on coming could now manage it on such short notice--but we hope that someone will. Therefore: if ANY eligibile team would like to join the ICT Division I field on such short notice, please send a message to ict_at_... as soon as possible. At this point, this need not even be a team that competed in the SCTs. We will give this spot to a team responding positively today, or to a team responding positively tomorrow, if none contact us today. If multiple teams respond positively the same day, we will give the spot to whichever team did rank higher on our waitlist, or, if no team was on the waitlist at all (meaning they did not play at an SCT), to whichever team replied first. Eric Hillemann NAQT ICT Invitations Coordinator P.S. A summary of the Div. I invitations: initially, 40 of the first 42 teams invited accepted their invitations. At various times later, however, four of the 40 that originally accepted had to wind up cancelling. The field now contains five teams that started out on the waitlist. And one spot newly vacant again as of this morning. In Division II, gratifyingly (though somewhat to the dismay of our top waitlisted teams), only one of the 26 teams receiving invitations has declined.
