I hereby vow to be a contender in next year's IIT. I need to attend some sort of boot camp or something. =)
I actually discussed this possibility with Kristin briefly. A few years ago I ran an Icehouse 101 session of basic skills, and an Icehouse 102 session of strategy. Some years, I have also run an open play event where people who want to exercise their Icehouse skills without the pressure of a tournament could come and play. These types of sessions always attract a bunch of new players to the tournament. Often at least some of the finalists are people who just learned, and sometimes the winner is a brand new competitor. -- Elliott C. "Eeyore" Evans eeyore@xxxxxxxx
