Not having ever attended, the Sloan conference had become so big and sprawling in my mind that I'd thought it had been a two day conference this year!
Which belatedly reminds me that NCSSORS should happen this year ... yup, Oct 16, again at Menlo College, south of San Francisco. Deadline for proposals was July 1 ... I actually had a couple of ideas, but I probably wouldn't have had time to work on them anyway.

I've never attended, but reading the descriptions this year made me feel sufficiently jealous that I'm seriously considering trying to attend next year.
As a West Coast guy, the fact that it's two days makes it significantly more appealing since it would seem silly to spend more time traveling than at the conference. |

Can we get ESPN to televise the game, or at least put up some box scores of our games on its site? |

| Gotta see about the hoops. In past years it's been a choice between 4 hrs. of sleep + playing or 6 hrs. of sleep + no basketball. Sleep wins that one in a 2002 Lakers-Nets blowout. |

I am not going to ref the game and I wish everybody would stop asking me.

| A bump and reminder the submission date is coming up, though I'm told the organizers will be lenient if you can get something together later next week. |

| At last year's conference, the talks given by research paper presenters (Zach Samuels and Paul Raff, Brian Skinner, Kerry Whisnant, and me) were videotaped. Does anyone know what became of these videos? I've asked a few people involved with the conference a couple of times, but I've never gotten any info on that. |

Just a note: As I'm sure DeanO, Roland, and others on here working for teams do, I get a lot of people asking me what they can do to get an analytically-focused job with an NBA team. While such jobs are scarce, getting a paper accepted by this conference is a nearly foolproof way to get noticed (for better or worse) in this field. If working for a team is your goal, and you've got a good paper (or the makings of one), I can't think of a better way to get most of the relevant people to pay attention to you than to submit the paper to this conference.
