Background:
If you never played it, SHAWARMA I was a visual tournament I wrote in 2015 about movies I like from 1991 to the present. SHAWARMA II is the sequel (prequel?), covering movies I like from before 1991.
Gameplay:
-The gameplay of SHAWARMA II will be much the same as the gameplay of SHAWARMA I (8 slides per regulation tossup, slide backgrounds of various colors, 1-slide joke tiebreakers on movies I dislike, etc.), except that this time there will be 7 packets of 15 tossups each. Of course, hosts don't have to run this as a ladder if they don't want to or if it doesn't work for their mirror.
-Each round has the following chronological distribution:
- 3 tossups on movies from pre-1951
- 3 tossups on movies from 1951-1960
- 3 tossups on movies from 1961-1970
- 3 tossups on movies from 1971-1980
- 3 tossups on movies from 1981-1990
- 1 joke/tiebreaker tossup on a movie from any year pre-1991
-There are no repeats with TAMIL, The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes, or BUMPY I.
-
-I'm once again making some answerlines more generous than those of a real quiz bowl tournament, and empowering moderators to pile on their own generosity.
