ANNOUNCEMENT: BOB (12/8/07) at Yale

Thanks to Mike Wehrman's dissertation, I will be taking over as lead editor.

Working Buzzer discount -$10 (limit 2 discounts)
Minimum fee (with packet discounts listed below) $60
BOB is a packet-submission tournament, and here are the requirements:
Send me a packet of: 25 tossups/25 bonuses (aim for around ACF regionals difficulty or maybe a little easier)
Packet specifics:
4/4 History
4/4 Literature
4/4 Science
2/2 of any of the above three (no more than 1/1 of each discipline)
3/3 Fine Arts (music, painting, architecture, etc.)
3/3 Religion/Myth/Philosophy
2/2 Social Science
1/1 Geography/Current Events
2/2 Miscellaneous (General Knowledge, Multi-disciplinary, Trash, or
more from previous categories)
Packet discounts/deadlines:
Fri. November 9 -$25
Fri. Nov. 16 -$15
Sat. Nov. 24 No penalty
Fri. Nov. 30 +$20
After that +$40
**Best packet discount (as determined by the editors) -$15
E-mail me about arrangements for novice teams, multiple teams from the same school, packet questions, etc.
We'd also be interested in a mirror or packet swap, so if you're interested in either, please let me know.

Hmmm, so maybe this should be mirrored instead of parfait? Don't want to make people go back on agreements or anything, but just throwing out the thought.vandyhawk wrote:Alabama is having a delayed mirror of PARFAIT on the same day - Dec 8, and as far as I know, the answer to your question is therefore no.Marchbanks wrote:Is anyone mirroring this in the SE?

I'm just curious as to whether this tournament will actually happen. There has been no packet or field update and I have no idea if there are going to be enough packets to even have an event. We may bring 2 teams and both teams will write packets, but I'm reluctant to burn 2 packets on an event which may or may not happen.vandyhawk wrote:Hmmm, so maybe this should be mirrored instead of parfait?

Registration will begin at 8:30, and the rounds will begin at 9:15.
The tournament will be held in William L. Harkness Hall (WLH), the same building in which it was held last year. Doubtless to Jason Keller's chagrin, this building has not moved any closer to the Educated Burger on Broadway. Directions are available here: http://www.yale.edu/ysac/driving.html

11 teams showed up to BOB today.
Brown and Maryland (a.k.a. "Brown A") won handily, dispatching Harvard to win the tournament.
The top scorer was Jason from Rutgers, followed by "Chris Ray" from Brown A. Full statistics will, I hope, be posted by the end of the day tomorrow.
Thanks to Charlie Dees, Matt Weiner, and the folks from UCI and UCLA for writing freelance questions.
Thanks to everyone who came and who played. I hope that, in spite of some logistical snafus and uneven packets, everyone who came to the tournament enjoyed it.

Neither of those things detracted from my enjoyment of the tournament; I had a great time, the moderation was great, the logistics were ok, etc, etc. Thanks to the Yale club for putting on a tournament on a weekend which was undoubtedly bad for most of you (I'm assuming your finals occur around the same time as ours).NatusRoma wrote:logistical snafus and uneven packets
How about them?NatusRoma wrote:stuff about results

Guys, cut them some slack. Their campus is currently occupied.

Wait, so princeton is occupying Yale's campus? And both BoB and PARFAIT haven't posted final stats yet? I sense a correlation.olsb25 wrote:Guys, cut them some slack. Their campus is currently occupied.

I'm posting here in case my e-mails haven't gotten through, but is it possible to buy/trade for the BoB set? Players from many of the Florida schools are having a packet reading/holiday gathering on 12/27 and we'd love some fresh material (haters: insert jokes here!). If so, please drop me a line at cborglum at valenciacc.edu . Either way, thanks!
