Our writing team has done our best over the past year (!) to create fun, reasonably well-written, pyramidal questions with similar lengths and difficulties. That being said, please note that none of our writers have significant tournament writing experience. This tournament is intended just as a fun side event, so we appreciate your patience in the case of errors on our part!
