Rice University Classic - Saturday
General information This is a College tournament in Texas. View manager contact information Welcome all! We are so excited to have you here at Rice! I’m so excited to see everyone. There is some information I hope will answer common questions about the tournament. TAB Room Tab will be in Rayzor 219, but there will be a help table on the first floor of the Humanities building. We will be using the Humanities, Herring & Kraft buildings for competition. JUDGING I’ve done my best to secure a hired judge pool, and we have enough judges, but every judge is important at this tournament. Please stay on standby just in case on off rounds. I will try my best to accommodate all and have a comfortable judging obligation. E-BALLOT REMINDER We are again using e-ballots this year through Speechwire. Remember to bring a laptop or tablet that you can rely on to cast your ballots. Don’t forget a charger! And PLEASE click on “START THE ROUND” at least fifteen minutes before the round begins so that the tab staff knows you are ready. CAMPUS MAP (in downloads) I have attached a campus map indicating the buildings we will use for the tournament. Additionally, most locations on campus can be found using maps. Please note every building on campus is 6100 Main Street, so you will have to use the name of the building. For those of you who like map choices, check them out https://www.rice.edu/campus-maps IMPORTANT LOCATION NOTE: Extemp Prep will be in HUMANITIES 117 SMOKING ON CAMPUS While not smoke-free, our campus restricts smoking to designated areas. Please note that the policy prohibits smoking outside in areas within 25 feet of entryways, exits, wheelchair ramps serving as entries or exits, outdoor air intakes or operable windows The use of tobacco, including smoking, is restricted to 13 designated outdoor areas on campus. The approved locations are marked with a sign that reads "Designated Tobacco-Use Area" and are within a five-minute walk from any building. We also ask that smokers take the time to place cigarette butts into the appropriate containers in the designated areas. FOOD OPTIONS Rice Village offers a wide variety of food choices, and Doordash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats all deliver. Use the address 6320 Main St, Houston, TX 77005 . This is Baker College across the street from the Humanities building. Starbucks is walkable and located in the Cambridge Medical Plaza (yes it’s a hospital). There are other walkable restaurants in the general vicinity as well. Wherever you are staying, Houston has amazing food, and everyone will have a recommendation of their favorites. For kicks if you are fancy DDD recs, celeb chefs Houston, and Tex Mex.
PARKING There are several options, but, unfortunately, there are no free options. We plan to headquarter the tournament in the Sewall/Rayzor Hall area. There are paid visitor lots near there (Founder’s Court and Duncan Hall lots) that max out at $12.00/day and a parking garage at Entrance 3. These are the closest. Beyond that, any visitor lot is fine, but all will charge. West Lot 1 is a bit cheaper but is a 6-8 minute walk to the tournament area. Greenbriar Lot, West of the stadium, is the least expensive, but is about a 12-minute walk. There are also paid lots across Main St. from campus in the Texas Medical Center. WIFI ACCESS Participants of Rice Classic may access the “Rice Visitor” network while on campus. Let us know if you have any access issues ALLERGIES AND ACCESSIBILITY We think it is important for everyone to have a healthy and happy experience on campus. If there is any way we can increase inclusion in accessibility or allergies please let us know. I will warn you that Rice campus has all the trees so make sure you bring allergy meds.
