Due to the nature of hosting for this year's NAQT Sectional Tournaments, the Midwest Sectional will probably draw from a larger than normal field this year. The WU Academic Team, however, simply does not have the number of staff to provide quality hosting necessary for the tournament. WUAT and NAQT have been in contact with each other for obtaining additional staff. However, in our opinion, we believe that even with the additional staff, we may not be able to host more than 30 teams, for which an expected field, considering if each team brought 2 teams, would be 36. More than 40 may come. In an effort to avoid limiting the number of teams, we would like to ask each team for the number of volunteer readers and scorekeepers that they might be able to bring to the SCT. Each competent volunteer will earn for their team a signifigant discount. Also, each team is urged to send in information of how many teams they are projected to bring, and which division they are expected to be in. The other option discussed is whether or not to host the division I and II tournaments at different times. Otherwise, we would begin play Friday night with Division II, and end play in time for Division I to begin on Saturday afternoon and end on Sunday morning. Please let me know whether or not this is a viable option for your team. Since the packet sets for Division I and II are going to be the same this year, there also must be complete sequestration. E-mail all information to me at jcpaik_at_... Thank you for your assistance. Teams expected: Minnesota, Carleton, Buena Vista, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Chicago, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Grinnell, Missouri-Columbia, Missouri-Rolla, Wichita State, Arkansas, Rhodes, Indiana, DePauw, and WU.
