Great thread! Okay, I am wondering how to pace myself tomorrow night. Do I make massive amounts of coffee and plan to pull an all nighter, or would it be better to take a nap (say between midnight and 4:00 AM) and wake slightly refreshed to follow the close contests. I think I'll gather up all the soft shoes in the house in case I need to throw something at the television -- no permanent damage that way. As to food, I have quite a collection of chocolate goodies left over from Halloween to provide quick energy.

If you go the coffee route, make sure you have some real food on hand (chocolate doesn't count) and remember to eat some occasionally. If bad news breaks and the only thing on your stomach is a gallon of coffee, you'll be in great danger of puking your guts out. Trust me on this one.

It's best to prepare TODAY; all hell will break loose sometime tomorrow, count on it.
