BAPHL 19: Same Area Different Hunts

Event Summary

Date
BAPHL 19 took place on October 6, 2018 in the Lechmere area of Cambridge from 10am to 6pm.
A total of 46 teams competed in the Acute (Competitive) division and 16 teams in the Right (Casual) division.
Overview
BAPHL 19 organizers Phlogazither (made up of the teams Phlogiston, Azote, and Ether) agreed to have a hunt based on triangles, but acrimoniously couldn't teach a consensus on its execution: one faction (Phlogiston) wanted it based on the musical instrument and wrote music-themed puzzles, but the other (Azote) preferred Bermuda Triangle-inspired puzzles with a pirate theme. The disagreements got so bad they SABOTAGED each other's puzzles, used ESPIONAGE to disclose secret information on the other team's puzzles, and MISMANAGED everything so badly opposing team puzzles even overlapped each other and budgets were blown.
The third faction (Ether) got caught up in the middle and tried to use their own puzzles to bring harmony to the hunt to get everyone back together as one. But will they succeed?
