We’ll post sign up sheets outside both Murr and Vergin’s rooms by the end of the day on Monday for the October tournaments.. The blog will have more information about how tournaments work.
Our goal is to have packets of evidence posted by the end of Monday evening, and sample constructive speeches should follow soon...
