ANNOUNCEMENT: Toronto Hybrid Competition (March 12th, 2016)
Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2015 6:09 pm
Hello Canada!
The University of Toronto is very excited to announce the Toronto Hybrid Competition, which will be occurring on March 12th, 2016 at the University of Toronto. The tournament will be starting at 9:00 AM. Please meet in Wilson Hall room 2002 (40 Willcocks St.) at approximately 8:30. The games will be taking place in the adjacent Wetmore Hall. We have 6 game rooms booked, so the field is capped at 13 teams.
WHAT IS THIS SET?
Due to the non-occurrence of Ottawa Hybrid this year, Toronto Hybrid is being created to satisfy fans of hybrid tournaments everywhere. Like OH, it will be a packet-submission, regular-minus difficulty set. It will be an open tournament. The distribution is similar to the OH distribution, with a few minor changes:
Academic (11/11)
2/3 or 3/2 Science (1 bio, 1 chem, 1 physics, 1 minor science, 1 your choice)
2/3 or 3/2 History (1 Anglosphere, 1 Continental Europe, 2 Rest of World, 1 your choice. That set of questions should adhere to the following chronological distribution: 1 before 500, 1 from 500 - 1500, 1 1500 - 1900, 1 1900 - present, 1 your choice)
2/3 or 3/2 Lit (1 Continental Europe, 1 world or ancient, 1 British, 1 Canadian/American, 1 your choice, try to vary time periods)
1/1 RMP (1 philosophy, 1 religion or myth)
1/1 Fine Art (1 visual, 1 aural)
0/1 or 1/0 Social Sciences
0/1 or 1/0 Geography
0/1 or 1/0 Other academic
Trash (11/11)
2/2 Music (minimum of 0/1 or 1/0, maximum of 1/1 pre-1980)
2/2 TV
2/2 Movies
2/2 Sports (1/1 from {football, hockey, baseball, basketball}, 1 other, 1 your choice)
1/1 Trash lit (not necessarily books - could also be comics, magazines or literally anything)
1/1 Video games
1/1 Other
Most notably, the history distribution now has both chronological and geographic requirements, to avoid an onslaught of modern history questions.
