In addition to the points Eric made, one problem
with teams moving up and down quickly at the end is
that it becomes harder to determine the best

(I'll also repeat Eric's note that R. Robert Hentzel is
the ICT tournament director and probably a good
person to ask questions of. As ICT Coordinator, however,
I'll happily answer questions about how to get to
Boston, what to do there, where to stay, how many buzzer
systems to bring, and why the College of Arts and
Sciences building should be an advantageous site.)
