We're planning to run this as a side event at the Toronto HSNCT mirror and still have not received the packets. Would someone be able to send them to us or get us in touch with the authors of this set?

We're planning to run this as a side event at the Toronto HSNCT mirror tomorrow and haven't received the packets yet. Would someone be able to send them to us/get in touch with the authors for us?

Edit: Got this one. Thanks a bunch!

adosreme

As far as I know, the Canadian site is still waiting for the packets for our mirror tomorrow and our TD is starting to get worried. If someone could send them to Joe Su, that would very much appreciated.

edit: I've been informed that we now have the set. Thanks, NYU!

On behalf of the University of Toronto Academic Trivia club, I will be TDing the 2017 edition of VETO East at Toronto. We'll be doing a few things differently than the Vancouver mirror this year, but never fear! The spirit of VETO that you know and love (or have different strong feelings about) is s...

I would recommend its being played "as is" at US mirrors, if anyone is interested to do so. We have had reports in two years now of flawed attempts at Americanisation of OOT; why not take a British set and just play it, cricket questions and all, just as Brits have done often with US sets...

adosreme

I assume the other 3/3 is fine art?

adosreme

I played this at the Canadian mirror this weekend. It was a very enjoyable tournament! Thanks for writing it!

adosreme

One additional reminder - clocks will be going ahead an hour at 2am on Sunday morning this weekend. Don't be late because of this!

Seconded. Personally, I love hearing all the uniquely British content. It's one of the things that makes sets like Oxford Open unique and one of the reasons why I like playing that set every year.

adosreme

I'd like to register a team. Teammates TBD.

We're having a Canadian mirror tomorrow so that might be part of why this hasn't been posted yet

I want to play both of these events and am looking for teammates

Hello! The University of Toronto will be holding a mirror of CO Trash on October 30, 2016, the Sunday after Penn Bowl. This mirror will be open, meaning that anyone can play with anyone else that they wish. More information on this set can be found at http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f...

If this is the only place where the schedule is being posted, then can someone update it to reflect the fact that the roster of events has changed with ARTSEE replacing NATT?

Also, Toronto will be bringing approximately 6-8 people to this.

Continuing my campaign to get people interested in comics by noting that I'll gladly send GRAPHIC over to the organizers so that people can play at-will if they find the time during lunch or something. (The fee being "donate what you want.") I might be wrong, but I think we had someone wh...

adosreme

We have a change in our roster. Since Christine Irwin and Adam Swift have moved onto Arlo Lyle's team, our team has picked up Ian Greig as a fourth.

I'll ask some of the CO people when I see them at our HSNCT mirror in two weeks, but I'd expect that this is unlikely.

adosreme

Are there still spots on teams 19 and 20 available? Canada is currently trying to work out a situation where we have 1 or 2 extra people interested

I'm playing this with Isaac and Lamar. Isaac and I are working on a pack. It will likely be unthemed.

I can attend this only if it's on the 18th

I'd like to register a team for this. Other players TBD.

Are there going to be any side events at this tournament?

I'd like to register a team with Christine Irwin, Adam Swift, and Kira Vimal.

Sorry for the delay on this response, and thank you once again for all your feedback. I don't really think #3 was addressed as much-- there were multiple instances where my teammates and I buzzed in the first or second line on one of the most well-known things about the subject (e.g. a plotline from...

Hey Logan, thank you very much for the feedback! I'll comment on it later when I get the chance, but this is very much appreciated!

Okay then I'm definitely looking for teammates.

Will there be any shorthanded discounts for this tournament?

(Moved from general discussion) Here are a few comments that I remember overhearing/was told on Sunday: - Ben buzzed early in the first line of the OK Computer tossup but got negged because he didn't know they were looking for an album - The pack 15 Beatles bonus says that Get Back is on Abbey Road ...

Best of 2015 1. Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato . 2015 has been a year with a lot of songs I really like, but nothing stands out as head-and-shoulders above the rest. That said, this was easily my favourite song of summer 2015. The power-pop style is something I will probably never get sick of. 2....

I can read somewhere around 10-15 tossups from my MacVanity 2 pack. They are all common link tossups and mostly trash.

Congratulations to East Scarborough A, who converted their advantage in an advantaged final against White Oaks into a win in the second game. Thanks to all the teams who attended this tournament, thanks to all the staffers, including Aayush from Waterloo and Jay and Elizabeth from Mac who helped us ...

adosreme

This was a very enjoyable weekend! I was very impressed with both your tournament directing, Peter, and by the moderation staff!

adosreme

Toronto is going to be sending one team. We'll have 1 set of buzzers and there will be a total of three staffers (Huma Zafar, Andrew Yim, and myself) split between us and Waterloo. We're also interested in playing SHWARMA and eating at the Carleton buffet.

adosreme

I'll be playing this with Paul Kasinski, Kira Vimal, and Faith Barrett.

edit: Faith Barrett is our fourth.

I don't think any of them are coming. How many questions are in this set and how long would you expect this event to take, Joe?

I am strongly against bouncebacks for several reasons: 1) This is already a fairly hard tournament with side events attached to it, which means that it's going to be a fairly long day as is. First, tacking on time to bounceback bonuses will lengthen rounds, even if just by a little bit. Second, havi...
