since U of W-M is also considered a "public Ivy" by some, it's probable. :)

AGAIN, WE DID NOT KEEP YOU FROM NATIONALS. EVEN IF FM AND WM GOT LAST YOU STILL WOULDN'T HAVE GONE, BECAUSE I BELIEVE YOU GOT 5TH.

well, if you got dead last, then we would increase several points for your points would be demoted. and therefore, that would have been at least third, probably right behind 2nd if not even.

I've noticed that the tentative national schedule seems to have a lot of problematic conflicts. In the past years I have thought that the conflicts were very cleverly made, but this year they seem like they are not the best arrangement. However, I really like that all teams have the same conflicts, I think that makes the competition as fair as possible. I just really hope the people in charge of the national tournament take a close look at the scheduling and make changes they deem proper.
