PROS:
1. This tournament was centrally edited by Pros, and as such this tournament is high-quality AND not packet submission
2. The tournament is being hosted alongside (on Saturday) Delta Burke: so there is something for both new and experienced players
3. This is rigorous academic trivia (some might call it a "Masters Tournament"), and a good opportunity to train for other upcoming 2013 quizbowl events
4. Open Teams are allowed (you can play with your friends, not the losers who happen to go to school with you!
)5. Ice skating on the Rideau Canal, the world's longest open-air skating rink: Need I say more?
CONS:
1. There are no cons!
