I think the large detail with him is that he is afraid of NAQT questions because they are styled towards literature and history...and he has seen how we have fared with that when we have attended NAQT tournaments in Missouri (Rightly so, we have went roughly an astounding 4-12 ).

Re: Ladue Invitational Spring Tournament (LIST II) - 3/31/2012

This happened. Some weird stuff ensued in the lower brackets, but Rock Bridge A beat Clayton A in the first game of essentially a best two-out-of-three final; Clayton then forfeited. Savannah beat Rock Bridge B by a large margin for 3rd. More details and stats to follow.

What are the official rankings for those who broke to superplayoffs. Considering Parkway West A and my team, Clayton, both had to leave early, I'm curious as to how that impacted the results. Ladue had 1-0 over Clayton and Rock Bridge 1-0 over Parkway West due to regular playoffs. Parkway West left...

So the field is full; I think we have enough rooms and should have enough staff to expand to 30 if there's interest.

EDIT: Since I can't count, and since we are indeed fine on rooms, we're expanding to 30 teams.
