Greetings world of quizbowl!
I have some happy and some sad news to announce.
First the happy news, the "quizbowl for life camp" (tm) has
officially begun in utero, and its first participant will begin the
training program sometime between late july and early august,
depending upon when she is born. i am, of course, talking about
a new addition to the litvak family, in the form of a niece.
Second, as a result of my having to be in New Jersey for the rest
of the summer on this happy familial obligation, we are sadly not
going to be holding the jergen on aforementioned weekend. This
news about my niece is quite recent, and thus I was unable to
foresee this difficulty in the original tournament plans. We're
sorry for any inconvienience we might have caused. We would
like you say that we plan on doing a master's tournament
sometime else, to be announced.
again, we're sorry for any problems we might have caused.
i hope you can all see the paramount importance this event to
take precedent over the serious and often beleagured realm of
competitive quizbowl.
have a good summer, (I won't be at any summer tournaments as
a result either)
Paul Litvak
