Although I don't think FoL has any other GMIF extempers...

[AfRiCaNHI]

I'm telling you guys, go in as many events as possible. You won't have more fun competing at any other tournament.

-Tope

[DomPody]

I have to agree with Tope, GMU is an amazingly fun tournament. The atmosphere is amazing-- and it's really open to trying new things too. Last year I did Impromptu and had a blast even though I didn't know what it was until a week before the tournament.

I still think watching those banners fall in the JC is the coolest thing I've ever seen at a tournament :)

[nirorivers6]

you've inspired me to enter into impromtu for the heck of it.

[tourrettic]

my team can't go... can someone please videotape the entire tournament for me?

yeah, i'm really upset about this.

-Charlotte

[nirorivers6]

hey charlotte! it's nic. anyway i don't know if we're allowed to film it... most tourney's expressley forbid it, ie cfl. does anyone know about gmu?

[Twh2004]

you can film things like postings and awards but im pretty sure you cant film the rounds themselves (mainly interp, dec, po/pr, etc). if what i said is true, its probably for the same reason the NFL takes forever putting out their final rd videos....copyright limbo.

by the way, make sure all of you say hi to me on fri and sat! im judging:-)
