V. ANY ODD RULES WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? We're going to take a second whack at the "bonus challenge" that was used at NE TRASH Regionals in '97, whereby a team can force their opponents to answer a bonus, with the original team getting whatever points they miss (i.e. the opponent gets 5 points, the team that presented the challenge gets 25). Of course, if people whine enough, we can just go back to the standard bonus laming, but why not try to be a little different here, people? At this point there are no plans to have players assume the roles of elves, orcs, or any other D&D character. And there may be other stuff that I'll think of while on vacation in a week or so, rather than actually look to find summer temp work. VI. SO WHAT'S THIS GOING TO COST? Nothing. Given the tournaments that have fallen before, I figure the best route is to just offer a space where people can play. Not to mention I hope that some of you will make the trip up to Boston, which will already cost you travel-wise, so why tack on extra dough? I'd like to say that the Sox will be home as added incentive, but they aren't. They're in Toronto. The Lowell Spinners, the Sox NY-Penn League affiliate, will be home against the Jamestown Jammers. The PawSox are home on Friday against the Rochester Red Wings. The Atlantic League's Nashua Pride are apparently home against the Long Island Ducks. You're on your own for tickets. Of course, there's non-baseball stuff in Boston, but it's all that historic stuff. VII. SHOULD WE BRING ANYTHING? Buzzers. We'll be playing a lot of slap bowl if we just use the BU system (heck, even with it we may be playing a lot of slap bowl). And you can always bring a nice macaroni salad or other side dish. VIII. SO IF WE WANT TO PLAY, WE CONTACT WHO? Me, Mark Coen, at mjcoen_at_.... IX. ANYTHING ELSE? Not really.
