As posted before, on Sat. 1/22 UTC will host Sword Bowl, our 6th
annual "junior bird" tournament for first- and second-year players.
So far we have only a few confirmations, and even fewer packets
promised. Then again, that's typical for Sword Bowl at this point,
since so many people are out of the loop over the holidays.
We earnestly seek MORE QUESTIONS. Freelancers who provide a full
packet's worth will receive TWO tournaments' worth of practice
material from UTC, your choice from the abundant archives of
quizbowl's most overambitious program. Just remember, this is
a "junior bird" and we need relatively EASY questions. Assuming Penn
Bowl is on, we'll be trading raw questions with them, but they
understandably tend to be harder than what's appropriate for Sword
Bowl.
So far I've heard from the following teams; those with a (*) are the
olny ones who mentioned that they were working on a packet. If
you're not on the list but ought to be -- or if you are, but just
want to reassure me that you're working on a packet and thus lower my
blood pressure -- please let me know at steinhic [at] bellsouth [dot]
net. Thanks.
