Urban Meyer Invitational Trash Tournament

Post by UFeng »

The University of Florida is very pleased to announce the Urban Meyer Invitational on Sunday, January 15th 2006. This is the day after the non-trash Sunshine State Invitational at UF on MLK Weekend. The tournament will be a packet-submission tournament (any playoff rounds will be written by UF) and should be over by 4pm for those with longer drives back. Note on playoffs: The more packets submitted by participants, the more playoff rounds we can have.

The tournament format will most likely be a round robin. Rounds will consist of 20 untimed tossups with one lame available to each team. There will be suitably trashy prizes awarded at the conclusion of the tournament. All carbon-based life forms are eligible to play. Free agents can contact Michael Napier at the address below for placement.

Costs -
$85 1st team
$75 2nd team
$60 3rd team (all teams must submit packets)
-$10 for out-of-state teams
-$10 for buzzers
-$15 for packets by 12/5/05
-$10 for packets by 12/12/05
+$ 0 for packets by 12/26/04
+$10 for packets by 01/02/06
+$15 for packets by 01/09/06
+$30 for no pack submission (you must let me know in advance)
(again, if all teams submit packets, there will be several playoff
rounds)

Pack breakdown
packets should consist of 22 tossups and 22 bonuses of moderate difficulty (If you are the only member of your entire squad to have heard of a subject, it may be too hard) with the following general breakdown

3-4 sports (no more than 2 of a particular kind)
3-4 film (no more than 2 from any decade)
3-4 television (no more than 2 from any decade)
3-4 music (no more than 2 from any decade)
2-3 trashy literature (including comics)
2-3 miscellaneous trash

For more information or to register a team, contact Michael Napier at napier at ufl dot edu . If your team is interested in writing a pack in exchange for the questions, holla at me.
