I'm entering the following message on behalf of our tournament director, so please contact her (not me) if you're interested. It's not that I don't care, just that I've got no pull. :) Lindsay Jones The University of Iowa will be hosting a theme tournament on October 15th and 16th. The theme will be that each round will contain 5 minipackets (1 literature, 1 science, 1 history, 1 social sciences/religion/mythology, and 1 pop culture) of 5 tossups and 5 boni each which will each have a theme. At the start of each round, the moderator will flip a coin. The winning captain then chooses 2 of the minipackets and where he or she wishes them to be placed (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th). The other captain will then choose two more and their placement to round out the 20 tossup, 20 boni round. These questions will be written by members of the University of Iowa team, so packet submission is not required. Registration fee will be $100 with a $10 deduction for a working buzzer system. As this will be an untimed tournament, clocks will not be needed. Due to space constraints, the tournament will be limited to 16 teams. To encourage more teams to experience invitational tournaments, a limit is being placed on one team per university of college. If spaces are still open as of September 15, colleges or universities may send a second team. More details will be sent to participating teams as the tournament date approaches. If you have any questions or wish to reserve a spot for your team, please contact me, Nichol Vogeler, the tournament coordinator at <nichol-vogeler_at_...>.
