I received a positive response from the room reservations people at Youngstown State today, and I hope that I can secure the help of a student organization to underwrite the cost of rooms soon. YSU doesn't have a quizbowl student organization yet, but I'm going back there in the spring for classes and I will help get that back up and running.
YSU and the Mahoning Valley have many good tournament staff that have come up through the ranks of the tournaments that have been held there in the past in addition to the Mahoning League itself; I'm confident that we would be able to successfully run SCT, and would hope to see all the teams that came to Case last year (and hope, of course, that Case itself would come to Youngstown).
This is not a knock against Case -- with NAQT wanting the tournament on a Saturday, I don't want to make Cleveland-area staffers choose between SCT and Olmsted Falls.
