This is an update on the three summer tournaments being held in the 
coming weeks at the University of Maryland.

Here is the schedule of events.  Note that this has changed since 
last time.

Sunday, June 24th: The Chris McCray Tournament For Academic 
Excellence (Trash)

Saturday, June 30th: Mirror of the 2007 NAQT High School National 
Championship Tournament (Academic)

(DATE CHANGE!) Sunday, July 1st: Half the Sun, Twice the Pun: Mirror 
of the Sun `n Fun Tournament (Academic)

As you can see, Half the Sun, Twice the Pun has been moved from 
Saturday, June 23rd to Sunday, July 1st.  In addition to this date 
change, we are now extending the discount for getting in a packet to 
Ahmad at USF.  If you turn in a half packet by Friday, June 22nd, 
you'll get a $15 discount.  If you turn in a full packet by Friday, 
June 22nd you'll get a $30 discount.  Send them to aragab at mail dot 
usf dot edu (and forward them to me at mike000_at_... so I know you 
sent them in).  For packet details, please see the post at http://
www.hsquizbowl.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3957.  If you're writing a 
half packet, write 11/11 and basically halve the distribution.

If you have registered already and your name is not on that list (and 
you are not just a freelance player), please contact me immediately.

We are still accepting registrations for all of these tournaments.  
If you do not yet have a team, please still register and we can match 
you up with other freelance players.  To register, please contact me 
at mike000_at_....  Please do not contact me through my e-mail 
address attached to this Yahoo account, as I might not get the 
message.

Remember that all of these tournaments are open to all players 
(whether you're on a high school team, college team, or not on any 
team).  For details on any of the tournaments, please see previous 
announcements.  When and where registration will be happening for
