Fancy Store-Bought Dirt

Intercollegiate Championship Thread

I was in New Orleans for a week for this tournament. Those of you who were there... how did it go?

Of course the most efficient way to send NAQT feedback is by e-mail, with R. speaking for the company as needed. That said, some very good players read this weblog (more than you may think), and there are two particular contexts where I can give my individual perspective without (I hope) blurring the distinction between what I think and what NAQT thinks.

If you have questions or comments about a question I might have written, I'll gladly either disclaim authorship (if I didn't write it) or give a writer's perspective (if I did). ["I did(n't) edit it" is inapplicable - it's been awhile since I did anything more than read through a set or write back on difficulty/quality checks.]

To a lesser extent, if you have questions or comments about tournament logistics (particularly staff, schedule, and Division 1 control room), I can give you somewhat of an organizer's perspective -- again, speaking for myself, though if my choosing to say it is a good idea to begin with then that distinction should (I hope) be obvious.

Comment away, or just e-mail me (handle is the post-tilde portion of this URL, domain is Yahoo). Anonymity is fine, too, if you feel the need (my biggest blogging regret ever is being too thin-skinned in this same context two years ago).
