ACRO-Demia: Global Announcement

[InvadErGII]

Play Quiz Bowl is very excited to announce ACRO-Demia an all-tossup set that will be available for mirrors in Summer 2020. While ACRO-Demia is an all pop culture set, all of its answer lines are things from the academic quiz bowl canon.

Distribution

Answer lines in ACRO-Demia are sorted according the academic categories in which they typically appear. Each packet will contain the following:

6/0 "Literature"
6/0 "History"
5/0 "Fine Arts"
2/0 "Religion/Mythology/Philosophy"
1/0 "Science"

Sub-distributions of the above are TBD, but there should be a mix similar to what you'd expect from, you know, real quiz bowl. We'll also be aiming to ensure that there's a reasonable balance of where the clues themselves come from (movies, music, video games, Simpsons references, etc.). Watch this space for updates/details on exactly how all of this will work.

Difficulty

Probably pretty hard.

Are you sure this isn't just an academic set?

Yes, I am extremely sure.

When can I play this definitely not academic tournament?

We'll have it ready for 2020's "Side Event Weekend," whenever that ends up being. If you'd like to schedule a mirror, you PM or email Erik Nelson (that's me).

I never thought I'd say this, but I want more science.

Should be at least 10 (like SNICK had), but if we can make more we certainly will.

Not yet - there might be one more mirror this summer. Once that happens/doesn't happen, I'll make sure it gets posted.
