Probably not going to happen. No one in SoCal is interested in hosting and none of the NorCal teams have written packets.

Berkeley almost certainly won't be attending since we are hosting a large HS tournament that day.

Thanks for your suggestions, Mike. I did quite a bit of work to make some things easier and I agree those two round 9 bonuses should be made easier; I'll make some fixes for next weekend's mirrors.

I don't have the set with me, so I'm not sure in which round, but there is a toss-up on Sartre in which we are told he wrote a book called "Critique of Practical Reason," which got negs in 5-6 rooms at Gateway in Lake City, FL. Of course, the prior clue ruled out Kant, though maybe not for most nov...

I don't have the set right in front of me, but what I do remember is that some of the chemistry got pretty hard and sometimes borderline unanswerable (like those tossups on the partition function and Clausius-Clapeyron equation). I also don't remember a lot of tossups on elements and compounds, whi...
