Location and Start Time
McMaster University Student Centre will be the specific location of the tournament, with the control room to be determined (likely room 203). We will be starting the first round at 9:30am, so please arrive around 9:00am to ensure that all staffers, players and buzzers are accounted for. Lunch will occur in between the fifth and sixth rounds of play.

Packwriting and Distribution
Because we encourage all of you to write about content that you are passionate about, MacVanity’s pack distribution requirement will loosely follow this 21/21 structure:
- - 1 / 1 Literature, Religion, Mythology, Philosophy (LRMP)
- - 1 / 1 History, Arts, Geography (HAG)
- - 1 / 1 Science, Social Science, Computer Science, Engineering (SSSCSE)
- - 1 / 1 Can Con
- - 1 / 1 Trash
- - 1 / 1 Meta
- - 15 / 15 Free Choice
Our goal is to have enough pack submissions to produce 12+ packets overall. Also, the predetermined subject allotments don’t have to be strictly academic questions; but if you want to go CO-esque on us, go for it. packets sent to me at [email protected] before noon on American Independence Day if you want your pack to be included to the MacVanity rotation.
When submitting the pack, please have it sent as a google docs in size 11 helvetica neue. (no Microsoft word or PDF) :)
Miscellaneous
The tournament is open. Anyone can join this tournament and also bring their friends along!
The tentative field cap is 12 teams, with at least 2 teams reserved for free agents. This field cap number can be subject to increase depending on room availability and event interest.
I will try my best to send out the day schedule and staffer assignments during the night of American Independence Day to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
