Swarthmore College Bowl is pleased to formally
announce Questions on the Crum (QOTC) XI, our annual
untimed mACF tournament. We will hold this
year's QOTC
on March 30, 2002.

Rounds will consist of 20
tossups and boni. We will require that every team submit
a packet. Guidelines for packets are listed below
and will be available on our web site.

We
expect to limit the field to 22 teams, so, beginning
immediately, we will reserve slots for teams who plan to
compete. After 22 teams reserve
slots, we will place
additional teams on a waiting list. To reserve slots for
QOTC X, contact Peter Austin at
<aduenas1_at_...>

FEES:
The base fee for QOTC X is $100/team. This fee
includes a donut breakfast and a pizza lunch. The minimum
fee is $50. Specific penalties and
discounts are

-$30 for packets submitted by February 21
-$10 for
packets submitted by March 8
+$20 for packets
submitted after March 19
+$35 if you don't submit a
packet (and we decide to let you play anyway)
-$10
for every game official you bring
-$10 for every
working buzzer you bring 
+$10 for every additional
pizza you want (remember the base fee includes one free
per team)

Please note: We will have a $40 fee
for any team that signs up, but does not show, and
has not written me _at least_ 24 hours beforehand
to
cancel. Yes, we can't enforce this, but we will trust you
to pay us this fee if need be. Exceptions will be
granted only in case of car accidents or similar
disasters. 

Pay by cash or make all checks out to
Rebecca Paul. Unless your team cannot write checks to
individuals and you tell us this _in advance_, we
will not
accept checks made out to any other party.

We may
offer a long-distance discount. If you want to come but
live far away and don't think you can afford the
tournament costs, contact us, and we'll try to work
something out . . .
