SABR - BBTF Chapter — SABR's First Virtual Chapter Saturday, December 31, 2011SABR42: Call For PresentationsPosted on behalf of Scott Fischthal and Neal Traven. SABR invites all members to present their research findings to their colleagues attending SABR42 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Oral presentations are expected to last 20 minutes, followed by a five minute question-and-answer period. Posters will be presented, with the author on-hand to discuss the work, during a poster session of 90 or so minutes, and will probably remain on display throughout the convention. Abstracts covering all aspects of baseball research are welcomed. Through on-site judging, the most highly-regarded presentations will receive the Doug Pappas Award for best oral presentation and the /USA Today Sports Weekly/ Award for best poster presentation. In general, we will follow the procedures used in recent years for reviewing and selecting research abstracts. * Oral presentations will be limited to *one presentation slot* (20 minutes, plus five minutes for Q&A) in length. The submission deadline for SABR41 abstracts is *midnight PST, Sunday, FEBRUARY 19, 2012*. Submit abstracts to */sabr2012-presentations@comcast.net/*, the research presentations address for SABR42. You may also use the alternate address */sabr42-presentations@comcast.net/*. Questions regarding the submission, review, and evaluation procedures should also be sent to the */sabr2012-presentations@comcast.net/* address. ###### In addition, we seek volunteers who wish to participate in the blind review process (in early March) and/or on-site judging (at the convention in Minneapolis). Those volunteers are also requested to apply by sending email to the above email address (*/sabr2012-presentations@comcast.net/*). |

1. Scott Fischthal Posted: December 31, 2011 at 09:55 PM (#4026397)Just wanted to underscore -- we're just looking for abstracts right now; you don't need to complete the presentations (or even the research!) until the convention.
I had not heard this, and am disturbed by it. Considering the review process, that is a surprising claim.
I may be missing sarcasm here, but I don't know why this should be disturbing.
If you've done a presentation, you know the biggest problem is figuring out how to pack everything that you want to say into 20 minutes. It is not easy for anyone who's spent weeks or months on a project to condense it to 20 minutes, and sometimes the convention is the best place to do that, believe it or not - life tends not to get in the way as much.

If he ever had his file ready for us to load more than, say, two hours before his scheduled slot, I'd suffer palpitations.
