Perhaps my reading skills are suspect, but I see no announcement of Brown/Brandeis's tournament on the Yahoo board; this after doing seaches on "Brown," "Brandeis," "BUTT," and looking through the message list from February. If a tournament announced only on this little pissant board outdraws one announced earlier only on The Primary Forum For Discussion of Quizbowl Tournaments, then perhaps you are in fact overstating the importance of that board. It would seem Jerry's neglect in this matter is partially to blame. > To tournament directors in the > future: check every board before you post your tournament date. A corollary: continue (or begin, as the case may be) to *post your announcements on both boards*. I know it's fun and fashionable for some to assault trash with great zeal at the slightest opportunity, but a little due diligence might have saved everyone some harsh words. --GS
