ANNOUNCEMENT: TTYL (Summer 2016)

Post by The Favourite »

I am pleased to announce that I am writing TTYL (Trash TraceY Likes), a vanity trash packet on stuff that I, Tracey Hickman, enjoy. The tournament is on pace to be playable by the summer of 2016. The set will consist of 8 packets of tossups and bonuses. I will be updating this post as I advance with the set. I am operating under the assumption that I will have this set completed by June 11 for a play-test.

Difficulty
The intended difficulty for this set will be generally easy, fun, and mainstream answerlines (don’t expect much, if any indie music) with difficult to semi-difficult clues. Some questions will be more difficult, however.
Question Length: Questions will be 5-6 lines long before powermarking, with most of them falling on the shorter side, in order to make the tournament quicker. I am hoping to powermark the set, but that is not a given at this point in time.

Distribution (20/20)
4/4 Sports (1/1 NFL, 1/1 MLB, 1/1 NBA, 1/0 or 0/1 NHL, 1/0 or 0/1 NCAA)
4/4 Movies (1/1 before the year I was born [1993], 1/1 comedy, 1/1 drama/action, 1/0 or 0/1 Will Ferrell or Leo DiCaprio, 1/0 or 0/1 Animated)
4/4 Music (1/1 Top 40 from 2010-Present, 1/1 Top 40 from 2000-2009, 1/1 Top 40 from 1980-1999, 1/1 Rap/R&B/Hip-Hop)
3/3 TV (1/1 American Animated Adult Shows, 1/1 Stand-up Comedy, 1/1 Cable Television)
2/2 Video Games (1/1 Console, 1/1 Computer)
1/1 Internet Stuff (anything from Netflix to memes to cat videos)
1/1 Trash Lit (Teen, Comics, Y.A., Children's)
1/1 Other (which will probably be more [world] sports or other genres of music/film)
There will be one tiebreaker or extra question from each of the eight categories.

Mirrors
I am hoping that people decide to mirror this tournament over the summer or fall of 2016. The mirror fee will be $25 per team, and I don’t really care how the set is mirrored.
Anyone interested in playing or mirroring this tournament should email me at tracey (dot) s (dot) hickman @ gmail
