MIT Fall competition 2009

[Tim Reynolds]

tim, I highly recommend you do best of 3 instead of average of 5 for the first round of 3x3. I don't want this to end up like princeton 08. where the first round of 3x3 took 3.5 hours.

Erik, we will be fine. During 3x3, we'll have 10 timers and 10 capable judges (who will have competed before 8:45, and thus can start judging immediately at 9:15). We know that we have a large crowd, and we'll have ample dedicated staff to make sure that everything moves along. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Is there going to be that meet-up thing tonight, that people talked about earlier, if so when/where?

 

[Tim Reynolds]

I mentioned this a while ago, but we're going to have an informal meet-up on the second floor of the Stratton Student Center (84 mass ave, building W20) at 8 pm the night before the competition for anyone staying nearby overnight. And the night of the competition too, probably.

-that Justin and Forte played a game involving naming as many pokemon (*) as possible?

We missed Vulpix, Ninetales, Paras, Parasect, Drowzee, Hypno, Lickitung, Pinsir, Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, Kabutops, and Aerodactyl

*Fixed (well, we did play characters, but the depth and complexity of that game paled in comparison to this one)

That was a super fun day, and I can't wait for the real competition to start

 

[Anthony]

I'll be competing a few hundred miles away, but good luck to all.

-that Sarah's screwdriver was confiscated at the airport?

Did they confiscate jig-a-loo or CRC or anything? They wouldn't let me bring my crc on my last flight.
