We'd like to move it if possible, but the 14th and 15th are the only dates in which rooms are available at the union for the tournament. If we were to hold it any other weekend in another building, we'd have to pay a new, $50 per room per day fee , which would put the tournament out of everyone's price range. Ergo, unless everyone's in the mood to hold the tournament in apartments and abandoned buildings, the 14th and 15th are the only options. Sorry to those of you intent on playing ACF, but I imagine the target audiences for TTGT11 and ACF have relatively small overlap. For packet submission, each packet should be 22/20, with all questions concerning either a Topic (all questions are about tennis, 19th century Europe, stage lighting, etc.) or a Theme (all answers are song titles, all people in the packet are left handed, all places members of the team have been, etc.) We will also gladly accept bizarre packet formats, unusual-type questions and the like, so long as the final scores on the packet are likely to be similar to those on a "normal" packet (i.e. the mythical average team should be able to get between 100 and 200 points). Any more questions? Drop me a line at echopapa_at_...
