The Wichita State University Academic Quizbowl Team is proud to 
announce that we'll be hosting Burning Down the House 2: The Second 
Story on Saturday, March 29, 2003.  This event is a Trash tournament 
that will mirror the other Ironhead events. 

We will be utilizing the same rule modifications that we employed at 
the original BDTH two years ago, i.e., the Kajagoogoo Rule on 
tossups and the "You Asked For It" bonuses.  

This tournament will also feature a second installment of my 
Ultimate Rock 'n Roll Name That Tune Championship. (This version 
will blow away the original.)
