TRASH Regionals AND ACF Fall

First off...I wish to apologize for my lack of availability the last 
few days.  My neighborhood has been having problems with its high-
speed Internet service, and I am hopeful to be back online by 
tonight.  In the meantime, I am posting these messages on an outside 
computer.

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by an official with ACF about having 
TRASH Regionals and ACF Fall taking place on the same weekend.  I 
didn't have a problem with that -- TRASH Regionals has had problems 
finding hosts in some regions, and we've had success in pairing with 
academic tourneys in the past.

However, I did NOT agree with a statement posted by said ACF official 
on this message board on Tuesday morning.

Testing Recall About Strange Happenings NEVER GAVE ITS BLESSING to 
ACF's insistence that host schools must host both tournaments, and 
those who can't must withdraw.

What TRASH DID agree to was...

Host schools can have the option of hosting either tournament.  If 
they want to host TRASH but not ACF, fine.  If vice versa, fine too.

If a host school wants to host both events, the school has the option 
of deciding which tournament runs on which day.

So here's the 411.  If you want to host a TRASH Regional the weekend 
of November 11-13, 2005, e-mail me at jdinan_at_... .  If you want 
to pair the tourney with ACF Fall, another academic tournament, a Moe 
Howard look-a-like contest, etc., go right ahead.  It's your option.

But if you want to host TRASH Regionals as a stand-alone event, you 
can do that as well.  It's your option.

I am also pleased to announce that the following schools will be 
hosting TRASH Regional events this fall...

Boston U. will return as host of the TRASH NE Regional!

WUSTL will again host the TRASH Midwest Regional!
