PCH Tournament?

Post by DavidH »

I was bored and scrolling through an old board and I saw that Jimmy mentioned PCH hosting a tournament. If so, when is it, and is it possible to save a spot for Savannah?

PCH Tournament?

Post by JimmyL »

Our tournament is November 20th. I wrote the questions, so our team isn't playing in it; however, Westminster, Eureka, Priory, and Ladue are among the good schools that will show up. It'd be amazing if Liberty and Savannah both came.

The questions are semi-pyramidal and the tournament is all MSHSAA format.

I'll talk to Luce to see if we can make it happen. Thanks for letting me know.

Sorry Jimmy, but Mr. Luce said no go for your tournament. Tell me how everything goes when you get results.

Ah, that sucks. Oh well, I understand...it is a long trip. Are you guys thinking about going to Wash U?

Haha, sure, you can drop by on Saturday if you like...we have an even number of teams right now....but mabye we could fit you in....you could each play on separate teams and see how you do. haha. I won't be expecting you to show up though, of course.

Yea Wash U is definitely in the picture right now... all we need to do is get permission from MSHSAA as it does violate one of their communist policies about national qualifying tournaments. Hopefully we'll be there. At this point, its something like a 60-40 chance that we'll be there.

I could show up on a team form my Aunt's home-school. It could be called the Buchanan county Institute of Teaching Children at Home, or the Schooled at Home Institute of Technology, or the Liberate Apes Before Imprisoning Apes movement.

Nope we got a nice little waiver;) the whole fact you do not qualify from our tournament. Just NAQT saves you a wild card spot
