Yay! As usual, looking for teammates.

adosreme

I should be coming from Toronto to play this. Looking for teammates as usual.

adosreme

McGill et al. confirming our attendance now! However: one member of our team needs a way back to Toronto after Schindler's Lit, will anyone be driving there? EDIT: We may actually have five people at this tournament, in which case I am available to read and you all get to hear my charming English a...

Who/what is Westmount? High school? High school. I'll say that I'm probably coming down for this with people in Ottawa and am looking for people to play with, especially those who are competent at science (you don't have to be Mukherjee-level though). I'm also interested in playing Schindler's Lit ...

adosreme

I am interested in playing all of these things. Are there people who want to be my teammates for any or all of it?

adosreme

For your convenience, the registration link is http://www.naqt.com/registration/regist ... nt_id=4753

adosreme

edit: Deleted...not sure if I can commit to this quite yet.

adosreme

To play in this, can we just use the slashnet web client? Or do we need to download something/create an IRC account/etc.?

adosreme

I will likely be there as a moderator...perhaps affiliated with a Toronto team of some sort.

adosreme

I am tentatively coming to this. I don't know if I will be playing with Waterloo for this or who will be on my team in the circumstance that I do.

Edit: I am currently looking for a team to play on. Preferably I'd get to play with some new people.

adosreme

What is crossover?

adosreme

I am tentatively playing both this and Delta Burke with the same team as at Quark (Huma, Aayush, Jj)

adosreme

Unless something changes, I'll be playing this with Huma Zafar, Aayush Rajasekaran and JJ Li.

adosreme

Also regarding parking, the parking lot at St. Jerome's College is also free on weekends and is closer than the Columbia St. parking lot.

adosreme

Yeah, as of last night, it's looking like 1 team plus a couple extras (maybe alternates, maybe scorekeepers?). I'll get the for-sure number tomorrow night at practice. I don't know if you noticed, but this tournament is essentially costed at $15 per player, so if you had say 6 interested people, th...

adosreme

Me and two of my teammates will be staying at a hotel on Saturday night (though I'm not sure which one yet), so you're more than welcome to stay with us. That sounds great. P.S. To my team and others: I am having a little trouble finding my passport at the moment, though I am 99% sure I know exactl...

adosreme

Yeah, that's a thing wrote:I wrote a set of 50 (15 movie/ 15 music/ 10 video game/ 5 TV/ 5 other) 8-10 line power-marked questions that not a lot of people have heard if you're interested.

This works for me.

adosreme

I know this is short notice, but what options are there for hotels around the tournament area? I will need accommodations for Saturday night and am driving down so that distance is not a large concern. Alternately, if anyone has space (even floor space) in a hotel room that they don't mind sharing, ...

adosreme

I have now submitted the packet by "Montcalm Me Maybe," aka Waterloo B, to you and Rico. You should be able to find it in your emails. Obviously don't read it if you ended up getting your own team together after all.

adosreme

Huzzah for bigger fields!

adosreme

I would be very interested in playing this if anyone wanted to pick me up for their team. My strengths are Music > TV > Movies > Sports > Trash Lit (i.e. the longer it takes to consume one unit of the subject, the worse I am at it)

adosreme

If nothing drastic changes in the next two weeks, then I will be playing this in Michigan and will be able to staff this event.

I would be very interested. Thanks!

adosreme

I think that I am alone now for this event, which I think I'd rather play in Ann Arbor than at Waterloo. Is there any room for me on a team?

adosreme

Yeah. I know...

edited to add what I was referring to

adosreme

As far as I know, Waterloo will be sending two teams to this event. In terms of packet deadline, is it possible for me to send you my team's packet on the Thursday or Friday? I don't know if this is true for all teams, but I know that my team's packet will be finished by Wednesday the 25th but is be...

adosreme

Since this is Civic Holiday weekend in Canada, I will be showing up to an Ann Arbor site for this. I may or may not need teammates.

adosreme

Ann Arbor and Pittsburgh are both places that I have never gone to for a quiz bowl tournament and sounds like something that I would love to do. (with the former being preferable since it's closer)

adosreme

Will it be possible for hosts to purchase the trophies themselves? This is not to provide opportunities to cheap out, but rather due to the fact that having to arrange mail delivery of trophies to the host school is one more thing to worry about. (even moreso if they have to cross a national border)

adosreme

I don't know about any rules that your school may have about payment methods, but if you bring cash then I would be happy to exchange it for Canadian money, which I will bring to the site. I could use the American dollars for ICT.

adosreme

U of T will not be fielding a team for this.

adosreme

I will be coming to this as a moderator. I will check with U of T tonight to see whether or not we will be fielding any teams.

adosreme

As far as I know, I will be moderating at ICT and would like to play this tournament. If there are people who are okay taking on a fairly inexperienced writer who is decidedly mediocre at quiz bowl, then I'm your guy.

edit: I don't think I have email capabilities here.

adosreme

Unless something else comes up, put me down for moderating this event.

adosreme

Toronto beat Waterloo in one game of an advantaged final in D2

adosreme

The Facebook post says 8:30-9.

adosreme

We will settle payments before play begins, and immediately after we finalize teams. Please heed that we can' accept Canadian currency (it's not our choice--blame our Student Association). I assume this is supposed to read " can't accept Canadian currency." EDIT: I will be playing with th...

adosreme

As far as I know, I am looking for a team for this.

adosreme

I've already talked with Jay and should find out whether his teams have any room later this week, but if anybody could use a chem/math guy who is also half-decent at lit/fine arts/social science, then I may be looking for a team to play on for this.

adosreme

Is it open? In that case, I'd definitely like to play considering the general lack of open academic tournaments. But in the end, either is fine with me.

adosreme

I am looking for teammates for this. I'm also going to be bringing my side event with me in the event that people want to play it.

adosreme

Need moderators?

adosreme

Is this still an open tournament?

adosreme

This set is now "finished" (meaning that it is open to last minute revision/expansion if I get the urge but can be played as it currently is). Again, anyone who wants a copy can shoot me an email and I'll be happy to provide it.

adosreme

I am looking for teammates to play this with. I will also be bringing my Community Chest side event (viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11890) to this tournament.

adosreme

In a new development, Colin McNamara is helping with some of the question writing for this. It's probably a good way to rein in the difficulty level/cutesy answer line territory that I was starting to breach.

Ultimate Backgammon for the 360? Axis and Allies for the PS3? Stuff like that?

This is a preliminary announcement for Community Chest, a tossup-only side event dealing with non-video games. Format This event will consist of Mike Cheyne-style speed-check tossups (i.e. approximately 3-4 lines in length before powermarking) about non-video games (see "distribution" belo...

I am pretty late on this, but I would like to come if I'm not working--unfortunately I won't know until last minute. If I can come, I am down to play with pretty much whoever needs a teammate, preferably a team with at least one science player. I am a "science" player who is in need of te...

Looking for teammates for both this event and Moon Pie on the 6th.
