Hi, I'm writing from the Villanova Academic Team, and I'd like to register two teams for SNEWT X. We're a very young team, and none of us has any experience writing packets, our team didn't write a packet last year, and the players who had experience doing so have since graduated. Our A team, however, would still like to take a crack at writing a packet for the tournament, I just can't make a lot of promises about the quality. I was hoping it would be possible to get an exception for our other team, as they are almost all first year players, who just started this year. There's also a possibility of a third team from Villanova being formed, but we wouldn't know for another two weeks. Would it be possible to register a third team at a later date, again with a packet exemption, because that team would be entirely new players?
