[continued from previous post....] *** LATE PACKETS & THE WAIT LIST At the moment, we have FIVE teams on the wait list. If I could, I would admit them into the field. However, I cannot do that without creating major logistical problems (among other things, at the moment, I only have 30 game rooms available on Saturday). I am thus forced to keep teams on the wait list. I am also, therefore, going to invoke the clause that has been stated on the WWW page since its initial posting: IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN YOUR SPOTS IN THE FIELD, YOU **MUST** SUBMIT AN ACCEPTABLE PACKET BY THE REGULAR DEADLINE (Monday 10 December 2001). After that date, teams will be accepted in the order in which packets are received. Please note that badly-written packets will NOT be accepted (e.g., if you send a packet with eight US history TUs, where every bonus is a 30-20-10, there are ten FAQTP TUs, etc.). I realize this is not a perfect solution, but having 70 teams is simply not an option, and this is the fairest solution I can devise. *** LATE PACKET PENALTIES The late fees for PB11, which were not previously announced, shall be as follows. Please note that the schedule is similar to that for PB10. Tuesday, 11 December 2001 to Monday, 17 December 2001: +$20 (2+ teams)/+$10 (1 team) Tuesday, 18 December 2001 to Thursday, 27 December 2001: +$40/+$20 Friday, 28 December 2001 to Sunday, 6 January 2002: +$60/+$30 Monday, 7 January 2002 to Friday, 11 January 2002: +$80/+$40 After Friday, 11 January 2002: +$120/+$60 Again, you can receive an automatic 72-hour extension to avoid increased fees, but only COMPLETED packets will satisfy the packet requirement for keeping your team in the field after the regular deadline. [Teams that have extensions as of 10 December 2001 will not be dropped until said extensions expire.] And, just to make this perfectly clear, let me state this one more time: I would much rather have your packets than your money. So please get them in as soon as possible. *** THE WAIT LIST After 65 teams have submitted packets, if there are further drops from the field, teams will be added back to the main field in the order in which they originally registered. If within 72 hours there are still teams on the wait list, they may come to Philadelphia on a standby basis. In other words: if you are willing to come and moderate, and a spot opens up, you can play for free. Samer T. Ismail Editor-in-Chief, Penn Bowl 11
