Since the collapse of programs in Washington and Oregon this season,
the Pacific Northwest has been left with only two active teams: Simon
Fraser and UBC. Try being active *here* when the closest tournament
outside Vancouver is an 18-hour drive away!
Ah... wouldn't it be nice to have a tournament within 600 miles of
here? Or to play in a regional or invitational with more than 3
schools or 5 teams? I can only hope that more of the CBI teams in
the Northwest will respond to our emails and consider playing in
something else other than College Bowl.
