In the interests of the Southern circuit, the University of Florida has decided to reschedule our Sunshine State Invitational to avoid conflicts with UTC's COTKU and USF's proposed mirror of Illinois's Novice Tournament. The SSI will instead be held on its traditional weekend - Martin Luther King weekend in January. We haven't yet seen any tournaments announced for that weekend and wouldn't anticipate any regional overlap with Michigan's tournament if they choose to host again this year. Georgia Tech's MLK tournament, which took the weekend after we stopped holding SSI, was not held last year and I have heard no plans in regard to reviving it. In addition the rescheduling of our tournament will allow us to send teams to USF and UTC. It's too early for solid numbers, but Jeremy: expect three-five novice teams and Charlie: one or two teams. In summation, UF would once again like to invite everyone to warm, sunny Gainesville (avg. January temp: 71 degrees) for the reinstitution of the Sunshine State Invitational. There will be no packet submission required, all questions will be written in house. Based on the response we have already received, we will be awarding separate Division I and II titles. Further details will be forthcoming as we secure room reservations and the tournament date approaches. -Daniel Nordby Communications Director, UF College Bowl PS: Charlie, I don't know your source but Szechuan Panda is not only still serving out great Chinese food, they have expanded and opened a new location on the North side of Gainesville. We'd love to have you down in January.
