As noted on the website, any remote team will need to have a local
representative. Some elements of the Hunt will not be on the Internet,
and they will need to be picked up by real live people. I don't think
any teams currently registered will have a problem with this, but
spread the word if you have friends in Slovakia who are planning to
hunt.

Every team should have Internet access and at least one computer with
a CD-ROM drive. You should be able to view the following formats:
* MS Office or OpenOffice (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
* MP3
* Windows Media (WMV)
* PDF

For contacting HQ, we will be using a system similar to last year's
Hunt; most puzzle answers will be confirmed by requesting and
receiving a call from us, but we will also have an incoming line which
you will want to call for various reasons. Make sure you have a
reliable way to make and receive calls throughout the weekend.

Team HQ assignments will be posted tomorrow night. We will let you know 
when
that happens and where to look for your assignment

You may also want to bring a live duck. You never know.
