A Saturday Tournament is a chance for Clague
to play teams from other schools. In
Michigan, there is one Saturday Tournament each month from September through
February – for a total of six each year.
Each player will play three rounds in each
Saturday tournament. The games are
arranged so that games are between players near the same skill
level. In the September tournament, it
is likely we will all play Equations. As
the year goes on, other games will be mixed in, starting with On-Sets and
moving on to Linguishtik and perhaps WFF.
We will sometimes play practice rounds of Presidents as well.
This week in practice we will talk a bit more about how Saturday tournaments work.
The Saturday tournaments also serve as
preparation for the State Tournaments in Grand Rapids in March. To qualify for the State Tournament, we
expect players to participate in at least three of the Saturday
Tournaments.
The location for the Saturday Tournaments
varies, but this year the first two are right here in Ann Arbor – September 24
at Clague and October 15 at Pioneer.
Students should show up at the tournament by
8:30AM, find the Clague team, and put their name on the sign-up sheet. The tournament ends around noon.
