You might also want to inquire with Matt Groth. For our mirror at Delaware, he edited the set to replace Canadian-specific questions with American ones, and added a twelfth packet in the process.

Even setting aside the issue of a lack of experienced quiz bowlers to run the tournament (which as Dave pointed out, could not be helped) there are a lot of easy-but-nonobvious things that ...

Also, none of my teammates want to do Eyes that Do Not See, so it looks like we won't be staying for it after all.
