Re: 2022 ACF Fall at Maryland (10/15/22)
Is the staffer form only for those affiliated with a school that wants to claim the discount, or is it also for people like me who are just offering their time? (I actually don't know at this point what my plans are for that weekend; I'm just asking.)

Re: 2022 Maryland Summer Open (July 23-24)
Out of curiosity, are the NASAT packets available for those who played, or do we need to wait for all the mirrors to finish?

Re: 2022 Maryland Summer Open (July 23-24)
According to the logistical email, there will be 11 rounds. So the format won't be a round robin, then? Regarding transportation to UMD, I was planning to take an Uber from my apartment in Foggy Bottom. But, I would be open to sharing one with someone who has a similar path, or with joining any carp...

Re: Maryland Summer Open Interest + Date Poll
I think any of those dates would work for me. I feel some interest in picking up a buzzer again after six(!) years.
Are there any history side events planned? There seems to be a relative dearth of them these days, which displeases me personally.

Re: Illinois Open at Maryland (3/12/22)
The time has come for me to end my long pandemic-related absence from the DC-area quizbowl community. I am offering my services as a staffer for this tournament.
Also, have there been any changes to the COVID measures for this tournament, given new guidance from the CDC and new rules in the DMV area?

Re: Guerilla History Event (late August)
I will tentatively express interest, as I, too, am dismayed at the relative lack of history tournaments these days. My actual participation in this, however, is dependent on time. Will, do you have some idea of when you would start this and how long it would run? Also, are you planning for singles o...

Ditto to that, unless a last-minute mirror occurs at the Maryland site of TTIAC, which seems unlikely.

I am not entirely sure why I am posting some of my submissions for ACF Fall 2013, as I am unlikely to write any submissions in the foreseeable future, with the exception of, say, a CO History that requires them, and even more unlikely to write submissions for, or play, another ACF Fall. Perhaps it i...

If not, however, I strongly agree with what Stephen has said about why this event should not be treated as a make-up for last year's. ...

Didn't Murat Reis also notably sack Ireland and a lot of other Mediterranean islands? Given that, it seems extremely risky to buzz on him getting some slaves somewhere (especially when the guy mentioned wasn't actually him!). Oops. I guess this is what I get for not actually looking at a question w...

So, I wanted to ask about two particular tossups: I was somewhat annoyed by the Malta tossup, on which I buzzed with "Iceland" after hearing the leadin about Barbary corsairs abducting people from this nation as slaves. I was thinking about the Tyrkjaranid, in which Murat Reis enslaved abo...
