NAQT ICT - Vacant Spot in Div. I

Due to two teams having to drop out of the
tournament yesterday and today, there is now one vacant spot
in the NAQT ICT Division I field. Previous vacancies
have been filled off of our waitlist in ranked order.
Now, however, with the tournament three days away, we
assume that few teams not already planning on coming
could now manage it on such short notice--but we hope
that someone will. Therefore: if ANY eligibile team
would like to join the ICT Division I field on such
short notice, please send a message to ict_at_... as
soon as possible. At this point, this need not even be
a team that competed in the SCTs. We will give this
spot to a team responding positively today, or to a
team responding positively tomorrow, if none contact
us today. If multiple teams respond positively the
same day, we will give the spot to whichever team did
rank higher on our waitlist, or, if no team was on the
waitlist at all (meaning they did not play at an SCT), to
whichever team replied first.

P.S. A summary of
the Div. I invitations: initially, 40 of the first 42
teams invited accepted their invitations. At various
times later, however, four of the 40 that originally
accepted had to wind up cancelling. The field now contains
five teams that started out on the waitlist. And one
spot newly vacant again as of this morning.

In
Division II, gratifyingly (though somewhat to the dismay
of our top waitlisted teams), only one of the 26
teams receiving invitations has declined.
