Minutes

  • Charles sent an email about tournaments and the discord, people have been joining
  • Mike: IEEE came in today sying that they did not get an email, but that they will still be helping
  • Charles: I just checked, they definitely did get emailed. It's Marie's fault that it didn't get to Arnav.
  • Helen: we should get fewer pizzas than we did for spring.
  • Discussed tournaments, layout, what hardware we'd be bringing, etc at the meeting on Friday. Minutes in the appropriate discord.
  • Helen: I emailed the chairs and tables guy, we will have chairs and tables
  • Helen: Who's free for setup?
    • Helen, Louis, Mike, Ace? (probably), Charles (after 4:30), Cole
• CTF
  • We have 1.5 problems from Louis, 1.5 problems from Hemant
  • Louis: I've been kinda busy, I can probably write 5-10 problems over thanksgiving
  • Louis: Problems should probably be bomblab-level difficulty or lower, because a lot of problems last year didn't get solved

  • Charles: The UGP quote comes out to 3100 for shitty gildan shirts
  • Charles: Brandmakers (the ones MLH recommended) come out to 2346.50 for the same shirts
  • Charles: Nice shirts from Brandmakers would be about the same as UGP's shitty shirts
  • Charles: They also said they'd give us a $0.25 discount per shirt if we let them add their logo
  • Louis: If they actually want their logo on our shirt for that little, you should tell them to go fuck themselves and look at our sponsorship tier outline
  • Charles: My quote is 2585 for the nice shirts I brought in that one time
  • Charles: It also looks like we're ordering more shirts than last time
