The University of Chicago will host the 2008 Midwest SCT on Saturday, Feb. 9th. The fee structure is as follows: $120 for first team from a school $100 for each additional team -$5 for each working buzzer system -$5 for each working timer -$10 for each volunteer -$5 for every 100 miles traveled one way -$40 for schools who didn't competed at the 2006 or 2007 SCTs Note that the last discount applies to schools, not individual teams. Also, teams wishing to claim buzzer system and/or volunteer discounts must notify me by Feb. 3rd (and tell me how much of each they are bringing). Teams wishing to claim timer discounts must notify me by Jan. 31st and tell me how many they are bringing--I need to know farther in advance so I can get enough timers mailed from NAQT to cover whatever's not supplied by the field. Please notify me by emailing me (setht_at_...). Please register by emailing me (setht_at_...). Please tell me the eligibility (Div. II, Div. I undergrad, Div. I) of each team as you register. We have 11 rooms in Harper Memorial Library (http://maps.uchicago.edu/mainquad/harper.html) and 4 more rooms next door in Stuart Hall (http://maps.uchicago.edu/mainquad/stuart.html). Parking is usually available nearby on 59th street, but check street signs to make sure you don't park in a snow route or bus stop. The initial meeting will be in 130 Harper, starting some time between 8:30 and 9 am, with play starting some time between 9 and 9:30 am. I'm confident we'll have enough teams to run separate divisions, and we'll aim for something like 12-15 games per team, which should allow us to finish by 5-6:30 pm. Hotel suggestions include various hotels near Midway airport (about a half hour drive from campus) and the Ramada Lake Shore Inn on 47th (about a 5 minute drive from campus). There are lots of other hotel options, of course. I think that's it for now. Please email me (setht_at_...) if you have any questions. I'll post a field list once I get more of a field. -Seth
