This week’s puzzle is dedicated to Lizzie Magie.
I had planned to spend this weekend watching the NCAA tournament and thinking about how I’d spend the money I would win in my office pool.
However, as usual, my selection of a team was its kiss of death.
Because my NCAA brackets are falling apart, I decided instead to follow another tournament. In this match-up the following teams are playing:
The Booters, The Bulldawgs, The Carriers, The Cowboys, The Gunners, The Mad Hatters, The Midshipmen, The Point-Stoppers, The Pressers, The Racers, and The Sackers.
The tournament is held at 40 different sites. 39 of these sites are listed below, though in a somewhat obscured way. One site is missing. Which one?
