The perfect invitational would have rooms specially designated for mockers to make out in between rounds.  That way, they could do so in private, not in the middle of public hallways.  This would allow us to avoid a repeat of the unfortunate events of Sunday, April 4th in Des Moines, Iowa.

Moses do you think that the perfect invitational would have rooms specially designated for mockers to make out in between rounds?  I mean, that way, they could do so in private, not in the middle of public hallways. This would allow us to avoid a repeat of the unfortunate events of Sunday, April 4th in Des Moines, Iowa.

But seriously, Jimmy... I already have word from 3 of my teammates that they'd definitely love to come to your invite. It'd be a good chance to, you know, check things out...

Also, I concur with the necessity of THREE judges. Do we recall that our miserable 3rd round in Des Moines was at the hands of TWO bitter, bitter judges who BOTH scored? Perhaps a third eyewitness to the situation may have come in handy...

We'll keep you in the loop. We've got massive date issues. We might end up hosting the week of your regional.

In that case, you'll need the following information:

Manchester Community College drinks Bud Light. Well, we can down some Sam Adams as well, and if you got the extra funds, Guiness always goes over well. Also, for the ladies, we got some who are quite fond of those Twisted drinks and Maribel, our time keeper, is a sophisticated one...she will only drink White Zin. Got that, love? :)

Take it from a member of the bestest hosting school ever- GOTTA know what your guests like to drink.  :D

Also...male to female ratio, at this point, is approximately 2-2. We like things even.

Actually....since you are buying Jimmy.....I will have Hoegarden beer from Switzerland/or/Sweeden...AND SOME GUINESS!

And our ratio Sarah at Nationals was easily 3:1  (there were only 3 guy mockers there!)

A good tournament is a tournament with enough teams at your level of competition to guarantee you'll hit at least one or two.

"Really good" is different depending on your standards.  At Rhodes, really good means hitting a national championship contender.  At Loras or the Shucker, it means hitting a future top ten team.

If there's only one really awesome team, looking at your list that would be UCLA, it gets boring unless someone can actually challenge that team.  A tournament kinda sucks when one team takes all the awards and first and second place. Try to keep the competition even or at least make sure there are 2 or 3 teams in this "elite echelon" to keep things interesting.
