We use 5 tiebreakers: Solkoff, Modified Median, Sonnenborn-Berger, Performance of Opposition, and Average Opposition.
Extra: Yes, it is a Hult event so here will be FREE pizza and juice. Depending on how quickly the rounds are conducted, a half-hour lunch break may be taken sometime between 11am and 1pm.
Directions: Take I-74 to Knoxville Avenue, exit on right. Go north past War Memorial, Lake & Glen Avenues. Turn left at entrance to Proctor Hospital at Hult Center Sign (turn lane, no light). If you pass the entrance, turn left at the light at the top of the hill and use the hospital drive to return to the Center.
