Clarion University NFA LD IE

2017 — Clarion, PA/US

Update #1 (4:50PM 10/20)

 
A few notes of significance:
1. Registration will occur in Founders Hall. We aim to release the round 1 pairing at 8:30.  Given the small number of schools there probably isn't a real reason to be there to register at 7:30 (imagine 8:00 works).   Also, you can email me to confirm the entry and we can take care of the money later.  
2. We will be using Founders, Stevens, and Davis Halls for the weekend. 
3. As a reminder we are providing lunch on both Saturday and Sunday as well as maintaining a hospitality area for the duration of the tournament.  
4. Wifi - We have a guest network.  When you connect you will be granted a two-day password.  If you have issues, let me know.
 
Here is a link to a campus map: http://www.clarion.edu/about-clarion/campus-maps/campus-map.pdf.  Parking is available next to Hart Chapel and behind Eagle Commons (Founders is between those two).  If you are coming from the hotels follow Route 68 aka 5th Ave (from hotel, exit 62) or Route 66 into town and then turn right onto Wood Street.  Follow Wood to the light (Wendy's will be on your left).  The Hart lot is diagonal across the street on your left.  Founders is two buildings down on the left.   
 
We will have donuts and coffee in the AM. 
 
 
 
Food Commentary

Clarion River Brewing Company is a decent option as far as a local sit-down.  Cozumel is a local Mexican place that debate folk have enjoyed (honestly haven't been there in a while so not sure if it's still good).  Applebee's is probably the local sit-down chain I'd recommend (over Roadhouse, Perkins, Eat N Park).

 
Other good options:
Vinnie's Pizza and Pizza Pub - both local and both good, Vinnie's is NY style.  Pub is a pan-style but good.
Bob's Subs - very good local sub shop
Daddy's Hot Dog Shop - solid local hot dog, burger shop 
County Seat - diner food, good (love their breakfast)
