Yale Student Academic Competitions is pleased to announce that it will be hosting Bulldogs Over Broadway 2002: Time to Drop the Samer on December 7, 2002 in beautiful New Haven, CT.

Overdue Packets: We will continue to accept packets until November 30th with a $5/day fee for each day beyond the no fee deadline that it is late. In other words, if you decide to turn it on the final deadline (November 30th), you will owe an additional $40. This is to ensure that packets are received in a timely fashion and that the questions may be properly edited and playtested.
