Loyola Academy is pleased to announce CAHLFS (Competitive Amusements Hosted by Loyola For Scratch), a housewritten open trash tournament held in conjunction with Midwest Championships at Northwestern.

It will consist of 10 rounds of tossups only with no bonuses, according to the following distribution:

4 Sports
4 Music
3 Movies
3 Television

For this tournament, we're aiming for medium difficulty: The questions will be difficult but we're hoping for the majority to be convertible.

We will probably be hosting this Saturday night of HSNCT.

Im sure that the members of "Something Ambiguous A" would love to play this. Also, since this is open, will college players be eligible?

by **MorganV** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 5:36 pm

Yup, anyone will be able to play except colby, and people can form free agent teams or whatever.

by **mlaird** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 5:57 pm

As the actual official executor of this event, Colby will be allowed to play if he so desires. We will not be turning away anyone. As Morgan said, if you want to play, but don't have a team, then you should post here or send Morgan an email, and we can get you onto a team.

Checks can be made out to Loyola Academy, and we will provide invoices to teams if they are needed.

I thought the tiny text made it kinda obvious I was joking

by **Papa's in the House** » Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:35 pm

If the EPCOTT event is paired with this, I'll toss my hat in the ring as a free agent.

Why not. I hope you know sports

Saint Joseph's (IN) expresses interest.

This is just confirming the stereotypes, but it's looking like I won't be able to make it that weekend. Sorry, Charles.

by **Papa's in the House** » Thu May 10, 2012 4:33 pm

Zack Moser and I are looking for teammates for this tournament. Can someone please post an estimated finish time for the Midwest Championships?

by **Dan-Don** » Fri May 11, 2012 5:46 pm

I would expect the tiebreakers and finals to start between 4 and 5.

by **mlaird** » Tue May 15, 2012 10:43 am

That means we can expect CAHLFS to start around 7pm. We will play 10 rounds of tossups only. We will most definitely finish before 10. Teams should sign up for this with more conviction. After the finals are done, we will begin taking pizza orders for those who want to chip in on that (or maybe some sort of other delivery option, depending on what staffers will be fed during the tournament proper).

I told staffers in my email that I was doing pizza on Saturday and Jimmy John's sandwiches on Sunday. I'd have no problem switching those two if you want to order pizza for CAHLFS.

I was thinking Jimmy John's for Saturday night. Are there any other options that would do delivery close by? Does Chipotle or something?

I remember Chipotle at PACE, so probably?

When does registration for this close? I assume, like all good side events, "five minutes before it starts, unless it reaches the field cap?"

by **MorganV** » Wed May 16, 2012 1:30 pm

^That sounds pretty accurate.

by **Mexdude** » Wed May 16, 2012 5:01 pm

Blake Tutt and I are interesting in playing this. I might have 2 more guys but I'll have to ask them later. I'll let you know.

by **Mexdude** » Wed May 16, 2012 5:09 pm

According to Blake, he got confirmations that Mike Peronovich and Lord Laudermith will be the other two guys on our team. Put us down for Team Stacked.

by **Golden-bellied Starfrontlet** » Wed May 16, 2012 10:40 pm

We're not playing this.

by **mlaird** » Sat May 19, 2012 10:17 pm

Thank you so much to all the teams that came out to play this! I hope you all had fun. If anyone would like to mirror this tournament, it will be available for mirrors for the remainder of this season. We are also considering running some sort of shootout or something for this at HSNCT Saturday night if people are interested in that. Stats are posted here: http://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/99 ... l_results/

by **Mike Bentley** » Sun May 20, 2012 12:37 am

We played this after our ICT mirror. It was very enjoyable.

by **The Predictable Consequences** » Sun May 20, 2012 8:50 am

I'd play this at HSNCT.

by **Coldblueberry** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:37 pm

by **Off To See The Lizard** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:38 pm

Id play at HSNCT

by **Golden-bellied Starfrontlet** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:40 pm

I'll play this at HSNCT, either with my own teammates or with others, depending on interest.

by **echhsquizbowl** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:42 pm

East Chapel Hill (or me and 1-2 others from our team individually) would play this at HSCNT.

by **MorganV** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:57 pm

Ryan Rosenberg has kindly set up a google docs that people can make teams with, so feel free to sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... 4eVE#gid=0

by **Transparent Pudding** » Tue May 22, 2012 11:22 pm

I am a free agent for this tournament, I posted my deets to the spreadsheet
EDIT: On team Neggers with Attitude with Daniel Galitsky of RM, we need two more.

by **jonathanmarx** » Wed May 23, 2012 6:32 am

I'm a free agent, listed on the spreadsheet.

Myself and Jamie Ding from Princeton are interested in fielding a team with a couple of high schoolers.

by **mhayes** » Thu May 24, 2012 11:11 am

What time would this be played at HSNCT?

by **mlaird** » Thu May 24, 2012 12:20 pm

We are currently working out playing this on Saturday night. The DBZ side event is running the same night and there is some overlap of people, so we are trying to figure out the best way to time it.

by **mhayes** » Thu May 24, 2012 2:15 pm

Then I'm tentatively a free agent for this, provided that it a) doesn't interfere with the DBZ event and b) doesn't interfere with QB basketball.

by **jlchockey94** » Thu May 24, 2012 5:57 pm

GDS will send a team of Daniel Brach-Neufeld, Jordan Cahn, Noah Cowan, and Jared Cowan. Thanks.

by **MicrowaveBaked** » Fri May 25, 2012 10:01 pm

Harmony Austin registered a team called Bonus Smalls, 'cause there appeared to be a rap theme going on with the team names. Is there any sort of definite time or place or anything of that nature, yet?

by **Boeing X-20, Please!** » Sat May 26, 2012 1:10 pm

CAHLFS will begin at 8pm on the Atlanta Conference Center level of the hotel. We ask that teams arrive at 7:45pm if possible so we can draw brackets and get things started. We will post the exact rooms and meeting place when we get to Atlanta in a few hours. Also, this will cost $10 per person, if that wasn't clear.

Hopefully there's room for another team? Neggers in Paris = St. Joseph's (plus me)

by **Dr. Timothy Tebow** » Sat May 26, 2012 6:33 pm

Posting this on behalf of moderator and Orlando-resident extraordinaire Luke Rego, there is interest in adding a Luke Rego Deathsquad to the field if possible. Not sure who all will comprise the probable team (most likely Luke, Mark Prather, Alex Rego, and myself). We'll be down in the ACC around 745 to discuss.

by **Boeing X-20, Please!** » Mon May 28, 2012 1:04 am

Stats are mostly up now temporarily at http://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/841 until the finals are added and any other necessary changes are made (and I can get Morgan to upload them to their actual db page as opposed to this one).

The top 2 from each prelim bracket advanced to the top bracket, middle 2 to the middle bracket, and last 2 to the bottom bracket by wins then ppg. The game played against the other team that advanced from one's prelim bracket to one's playoff bracket carried over (in order to play less games and finish earlier). Thus, while Flying Space Pimps and The Spoiler Team were both 7-2, Flying Space Pimp's loss to ODBs effectively did not count and they went on to play in the finals against Bonus Smalls. The finals game is not input yet into the stats, but if my memory serves me correctly, the Flying Space Pimps won.

by **the return of AHAN** » Mon May 28, 2012 9:40 pm

HEY! I only played the first two games (not 4) and actually averaged 55 PPG! :razz:

But yes, the Flying Space Pimps (Tressler & Co.) were the winners. Had I known I would be so critically important, I'd have stuck around for DeKalbastan. :oops:

I might have been there, but rode the coattails of Alex Gross, Rob Poirier, and Ian Lenhoff.

IMO this set was well-written and fun to play. I especially enjoyed the occasional creative yet gettable answer selections. Please do this again.

by **Cheynem** » Tue May 29, 2012 10:29 am

Any other potential uses for this set? I'll take on all comers at NASAT.

I'd probably play/read this at NASAT.

by **powerplant** » Tue May 29, 2012 12:32 pm

If this is being played at NASAT I will play, and so will Lauren of Ohio State's team.

by **Ben Dillon** » Tue May 29, 2012 12:44 pm

Having heard the packets, I can moderate this.

by **Euler's Constant** » Tue May 29, 2012 1:16 pm

I can also read this packet at NASAT if necessary.

by **Charbroil** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 7:05 pm

Hey, I've sent a couple of emails (to Matt and Morgan) about mirroring this over the summer, with no response. Could someone get back to me on those?

You can almost certainly do this! I will make sure they have gotten these and will respond to you about fee structure/other things of that nature.
