Depends on the demand, as well as the budget situation come the fall. I would love to have T-shirts, but the best answer I can give right now is we will have to wait and see.

Your contact information is insufficient. When contacting someone with a ridiculous name like yours, it is necessary to include a phonetic key below the phone number.

... You left that out. Please make the appropriate editions to your website.

The tournament field for the Showdown has been filled for now, we extended our cap to 26 teams and those spots are tentatively reserved for now as well.

Again, all updated information will be contained on our website at www.arizonamocktrial.org.

If you wish to reserve a spot on the wait list for the Showdown please contact Corey Wlodarczyk (my contact info can be found on the club website, or page 1 of this thread).

PM sent, without giving out too much information about the teams on the fence I will just say that only two teams who were once on the wait list and have now been bumped up remain unconfirmed.

There has been an update to the field at the Great Sonoran Showdown.

Wake Forest, UCSD, and Pomona will now be attending.

Please contact me for further information. We are currently unable to make additional updates on our website, so until then all updates will be posted here.

Our website, www.arizonamocktrial.org, is out of date with the tournament information.

The school changed the password to the account on me and I've been trying to get them to fix the problem.
I'm hoping to get a working password from them on Monday and I will update all the tournament information at that time.

Until then - please contact Corey (RaneofDeath) with any questions dealing with the tournament.

Due to an unfortunate last minute drop out, we currently have ONE open spot for this weekend at the Great Sonoran Showdown. If anyone at all is interested, I will charge no registration fee for your team, and will give this position to the first team that wishes to reserve the last remaining spot in the tournament. Please let me know if you have any questions, and feel free to email me (wlodarco AT email DOT Arizona DOT edu).

If you give us airfare and a free hotel stay along with that waiver on the registration fee, UMM will be there!

I just wanted to say thank you to EVERYONE that came and competed. I had a great time meeting everyone that I have been talking to for the past few months, and I hope that everyone had a good time while they were here with us.

A HUGE thanks to Ryan  and Laura Seelau for all of their help, and to Ryan who ran our tab room along with our coach Casey McGinley.

Big thanks to Jimmy Cool and Sarah Cool for being great friends and helping me with the last minute stages of putting this tournament together.

Another big thanks to Brian Chase that helped me along with all of the tournament preparations and ideas from the start. This would not have happened without his help and advice throughout the entire process.

Of course, to my program's coach and mentor staff: Larry Ward, Micah Schmit, Joel Patterson, Brian Chase, Chris Dang, Mike Harnden, Lindsay Schafer, and Ben Griem. Without their constant volunteering to judge and help with logistics, the tournament would not have been able to run on time as it did.

Another huge thank you to Breane Bushu, despite not ever participating in Mock Trial, offered to volunteer her time to sit in tab room to be present for any Tab Room intervention problems.

Also a big thanks to UCSD, ASU, and USC for 4 great, competitive rounds. I had a great time this weekend and I am so happy that all of you came out to compete. I hope that I will run into all of you throughout this season's competition.

Those who won awards are considered "All-American"?! No Fair!!! I want one. Congrats on hosting what seems to be quite a successful tourney, Corey.
