All:

Just a reminder that "This Tournament Goes To 11" is scheduled for 
October 11th in Iowa City, Iowa.  This is an individual and team and 
academic and trash tournament all rolled into one!  But, if it is to 
take place, we need two--only TWO--more schools to sign-up between 
now and September 27th.  Don't be the one who let TTGT11 go the way 
of the dinosaurs, Elvis, and John Ritter (R.I.P).

If you would like to come, but are having trouble working out just 
how you'd be able to arrive/participate by 7:00 Friday night, please 
e-mail me _at_ dr_pookman_at_... (dr_pookman at yahoo dot com).  You 
can advance register or we can worh you into a first round bye.  IF 
NOTHING ELSE: we will hold the tournament on only Saturday, or we 
will hold the individual rounds on Friday night.  We'll accomodate 
you if you come, that is our promise.

NOTE: packets submission has changed ever-so-slightly, if you would 
like to FREELANCE a packet or are planning on submitting one, we now 
require but 21 tossups and 22 bonuses (instead of 22 and 24).

Pertinent information below; soon to be here as well:

trophy for you, though.
