Super ACRONYM 3 Online: Sunday, December 5

Post by InvadErGII »

Play Quiz Bowl will be running an online mirror Super ACRONYM 3 on Sunday, December 5! Games will be run over Zoom (if you've played one of our online events before, it should be more or less the same).

Registration is $20 per player and is open now - you can sign up as a team, as a staffer, or as a free agent right here.

The less than esteemed Dr. Mik Larsen and I are looking for teammates. You don't have to have a doctorate and have your name start "Mik," but that would help. Also, perhaps knowing things about recent things. Like what is a "Squidward Game."

We have Matt Lafer now, who is also old. Need one more.

I'm just never going to get to play this set, am I?

Quick update - we'll be capping the field for this at 24 teams. If you haven't registered yet, please do so before it fills! We also need a handful of additional moderators, so please consider doing that if you've already played the set.

Is there anything beyond signing up on the sheet that we should be doing?

Do you know yet what time this is running and when you’d assume it would end?

As the main scorer on the winning team the last time this was run, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring as a free agent. Contact me at yogeshraut at gmail dot com.

It's really getting to be time to know when this is going to start and, as Mike asked, if we need to do anything other than put our names on the spreadsheet to be registered. I'm going to be driving home three hours Sunday morning and definitely need to know what time I've got to be in front of my computer. Looking forward to it!

9am central start. Not positive on an exact end-time yet, but I expect it'll be mid-afternoon.

I will be sending out logistics info tomorrow.

Logistics info is out! Schedule will be available later this week.

On another note, we're still looking for a handful of additional (paid!) moderators - if you've already played this set or otherwise feel up for reading on Sunday, please sign up on the sheet in the OP.

Friday update!

We're still a few staffers short, and due to a late drop out have a spot for one more team. If you can fill any of these spots, please do so ASAP!

Update: If you're in Group 4, Round 1 got started at around 10:35, so games will be pretty late till lunch, presumably.
