I am excited to announce the release of SCURVY (Scholastic Competition of Utterly Ridiculous Vapid Yahoos), a Regs+ set ready for mirroring in late April 2023.
SCURVY will have 12 packets with 20 tossups and 20 bonuses each with extra tiebreakers and replacements. Tossups will be powermarked, pyramidal, and capped at 800 characters each. Bonuses will have 3 parts. The difficulty of SCURVY can be compared to Prison Bowl. SCURVY is intended as preparation and tune-up for teams attending nationals.
SCURVY will be head-edited by Midhun Sadanand (Hoover) and Aiden Dombrosky (Hoover)
