How to staff: If you are an experienced game official in the Bay Area, interested in reading or scorekeeping, and not already accounted for by a participating team's $30 discount per experienced moderator, please contact me directly. All staff will get not only my immense gratitude but also $30 (either through the aforementioned team discount or through cash paid on site).
I am grateful to the UC Berkeley Quiz Bowl Club, a student group acting independently of the University of California, for the physical location of the tournament. The student organization and I take full responsibility for the guests.
