"stanford housewrite" mirror at Alabama (3/5/16)
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2016 3:35 pm
Greetings!
I'm pleased to announce the South's mirror of "stanford housewrite" to take place on the University of Alabama's campus in Tuscaloosa. The tournament will take place on Saturday, March 5, 2016, and as with almost all of my other productions, will probably start at 9:00 AM. A building is currently being reserved for the tournament. Based on previous building reservation trends, the tournament will take place in ten Hoor Hall.

“stanford housewrite” will consist of 15 packets of power-marked questions following the usual ACF distribution:
4/4 Literature (1/1 American, 1/1 British, 1/1 European, 1/1 World)
4/4 History (1/1 American, 2/2 European, 1/1 World)
4/4 Science (1/1 Biology, 1/1 Chemistry, 1/1 Physics, 1/1 Other)
2/2 Religion and Mythology (1/1 each)
2/2 Philosophy and Social Science (1/1 each)
3/3 Fine Arts (1/1 Painting, 1/1 Music, 1/1 Other)
1/1 Geography, Current Events, and Trash (in the ratio 4:4:7, i.e. just under half are trash)
The intended difficulty of the set is Nationals-minus, i.e. noticeably harder than tournaments such as ACF Regionals and Penn Bowl, but not as hard as ACF Nationals or last year’s George Oppen. We will do our best to make the questions accessible and fun to play for teams with a wide variety of skill levels. There is a soft cap of 8 lines after bolding for power.
Fees:
Fees will probably be similar to that of other regions. I'll post them soon when I've figured them out. The travel discount will more than likely be of the Sundbergian variety, meaning that it will depend on the maximum distance traversed by any one player on the team.
Registration:
