My apologies for the previos truncation! National Academic Quiz Tournaments Intercollegiate Championship Tournament Site Information Since enough people have asked, here is a condensed version of the site info. The College of Arts and Sciences is a large building at 685 and 725 Commonwealth Avenue. The Tsai Performance Center, site of Friday's opening meeting, is a large auditorium just inside the 685 Comm Ave entrance. It is right across the street from the "Boston University East" above-ground trolley stop. There are three red banners over the doorway -- you can't miss it. Please be there by 6 p.m. if you can. Play will begin no later than 7 p.m. >From the Howard Johnson's on Commonwealth Avenue, simply exit HoJo's, go west (right) on the sidewalk on the same side of the street. The CAS building is 5-7 minutes away on foot. >From elsewhere, especially driving, see directions linked from <a href=http://people.bu.edu/qbowl/naqt2k.html target=new>http://people.bu.edu/qbowl/naqt2k.html</a> PARKING: HoJo's has free parking for its guests. Other than that, in the words of longtime Boston University quiz elder Mark Coen, "good luck." Since I'm here to provide better answers than that, here is what I know: Meters shut off at 6 p.m. along Comm Ave. If you can find a spot (after 5 you probably can), you may need to plug the meter once. Then you can leave the car overnight if need be. On Saturday morning, I recommend a corner lot (outdoor) adjacent to Howard Johnson's at Kenmore Square. For $6 you can park all day. There is a lot closer to the CAS building, next to Burger King, that charges $12 for people to park all day. All rooms Friday and all but five of the rooms Saturday will be in the CAS building. Five rooms Saturday will be at the Theology Building, just across a small plaza from the CAS building. The plaza (in front of Marsh Chapel) is small enough that the westernmost CAS rooms will actually be closer to the Theology rooms than to rooms on the other edge of the CAS building. Within CAS itself we have five floors worth of rooms. On each floor, all even-numbered rooms are on the side closest to the river; odd-numbered rooms are on the side closest to the street. Room numbers count up from west to east (left to right if you're facing the building from the sidewalk outside). Play will resume promptly at 9 a.m. Saturday. Be there by 8:30 if you are a game official, 8:45 if you are a player. Some room assignments will change between Friday and Saturday. Tournament HQ, however, will always be Room 223. See you soon, Matt Bruce ICT Coordinator
