Late to the conversation, but I do agree with the general sentiment that it should stay informal and fun. To that end, my proposal is to allow anyone who wants to run an event (within reason) to be able to do so. Instead of being run monthly, SMEC could repeat over a longer cycle (say, 2-4 times a y...

Not really issues, but there are some readability/accessibility best practices I think a lot of exams could use.

I do this to avoid having a team's ranking affected by a single question, as well as rewarding teams who have deeper knowledge. I do a...

Official results (with fix for Penn Yan) I don't think this is correct? There are event placements for Penn Yan A, I don't think they no showed everything. Hmm, you might be right. The results on Ezra are inconsistent here; I'll confirm with the tournament staff. I wasn't involved in the logistics ...
