This approaching Mountain Day will mark a wonderful, inaugural occasion: the world premier, campus wide Wa tournament. Woohoo. It's going to be a slightly different version of Wa from the one you are all familiar with - TEAM WA -, but it should be even more fun than any Wa experience you've ever had before. We're looking for dozens of teams to register for a single-elimination, March Madness style tournament. Think intense head-to-head Wa competition. The tournament will open on Mountain Day, and deadlines for the completion of each subsequent round will arise periodically over the course of the semester and Winter Study. The last round will be played during Winter Carnival when the champion Wa team will be crowned and the prestigious Wa man trophy will be ceremonially bestowed.
Teams will be composed of a minimum of eight people. A team must field six to ten people for each match. Fewer than six will lead to a forfeiture. Greater than ten means that someone will have to sit out. Team captains are responsible for communicating with me, sending me match results, and arranging matches with their assigned opponents.
Please email me by Wed. Sept. 30 with: 1) your team name; 2) your name and unix; and 3) a list of the people on your team.
A complete list of Wa rules is attached below and will also be posted online at
woc.williams.edu. Please send me suggested amendments.
Looking forward to a great tournament,
Thanks,
alex (your friendly Wa coordinator)
