2012 National Tournament: University of Central Florida

Well...it's 120 teams anyways, and you know, there's not much variable to that. I think that quite honestly, which teams are going isn't going to matter much.

We should try then, if it worked out then just think how quick we could get onto the rides

Congratulations to the first two teams to qualify for nationals from Montana, Thompson Falls High School(C) and Clancy Middle School (B)! I know I'm about a month behind, but great job!

It's ridiculous how early Montana has their state tournament... Teams don't have any time to prepare. Congrats to the champs though!

Wait, so the Montana state competition was in November?
WOW, that is messed up.

I guess they can start writing that petition...

Does anyone know whether teams at SONT 2012 will have the option of staying in the UCF dorms? If that option isn't going to be available, why so? (The SONT 2012 website contains information about nearby hotels but not about UCF dorms.)

Thanks; I was just wondering.

There has even been that option before? Aren't most colleges still in school in May?

They seem to have changed the template of the nationals website within the last 24 hours. The new format is certainly an improvement in the aesthetics department, but it's still a bit tough to navigate. Some of the links are incorrect at the moment, but I assume they will be fixed shortly.

When will the final national schedule be out? It still is in the tentative process. I don't think it is suppose to change much if at all from the schedule out now.

The National schedule is always published on the inside back cover of the rules manual. It won't change from that.
