General Discussion

Hey everyone, Please feel free to discuss the questions here. If there's a consensus on wanting different threads for different types of questions or types of discussion, we can make more, but it seems to me to be conducive to discussion to keep it all in one place. I'm very interested in hearing ev...

Re: DATE CHANGE: TERP (Maryland Fall Trash) 10/31/10

Will there be a discussion thread set up, after the conclusion of this tournament, or after tomorrow do we assume that it will be fair game? We're hoping to have one more mirror later this month, so please refrain from discussing the questions in the public forum pending another post by me. I'll tr...

Re: DATE CHANGE: TERP (Maryland Fall Trash) 10/31/10

As per usual, we'll meet in that lecture hall in the front right corner of the basement of Jimenez. (I'll re-check the room number when I'm there this afternoon and update the original post accordingly.) The tournament will start at 9, so everyone should arrive to register by 8:45. Edit: The room is...

It must, since there's 2/2 non-main series canon. 14/14 on QTTA, Fantastic Beasts, and Beedle the Bard will be fun.

Re: Harry Potter Tournament (Name/Date TBH)

This is undoubtedly the single greatest and most exciting thing that has happened to me ever and I will do everything within my power (some Faustian stuff if need be) to ensure that this tournament will be near or in Maryland.

Re: Wording in Questions

This is a really minor point, but I think saying "title character" or "title object" is cleaner and more understandable to the average player than "titular character" or "titular object," which strike me as less clear. I find "titular" to be really ...

TERP is going to be twelve rounds with 7-9 line (powermarked) tossups, so it's designed to be played as a main event.

High schoolers are welcome to play. How many people were you expecting on your team? If you're paying out of pocket, shoot me an email and we can work out something, but I'd also encourage you to look into combining with free agents to make a full team-- you can take a look at the field list for the...

Re: Discussion

I really enjoyed this tournament, having a bye during the Passover tossup notwithstanding. Speaking of Jewish stuff, though-- I also liked the bar-mitzvah tossup. I think it was a really appropriate-difficulty tossup on a subject that I, in my admittedly not-that-large-at-all experience in quizbowl,...

Re: DATE CHANGE: TERP (Maryland Fall Trash) 10/31/10

Mostly because of the UMD football game scheduled for the 30th. But if it frees up people to go keep fear alive on the Mall, so much the better.

This is open, but it looks like McMaster's going to host a Canadian mirror, if that's easier for you.

Ditto. I also never got to comment on the tournament (which may have something to do with me registering for the forums last week,) but I also had a lot of fun.
