CO Trash @ Minnesota (August 21st, 2022)

Post by BenWeiner27 »

The University of Minnesota Quizbowl team is excited to announce a mirror of the CO Trash set on Sunday August 21st, 2022, as part of our 2022 UMN Open Weekend. The tournament will be held in Folwell Hall on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities campus.

Question Set
This tournament will be played on the 2022 CO Trash question set. More information about the question set can be found here.

Payment
This tournament has a fee of $30/player.

Payment details for this tournament will made available at a later date once finalized.

COVID-19 Policy
In order to minimize risk of transmission given that we are anticipating many players travelling from out of state for this tournament, all players, staffers, and spectators will be required to wear a face covering at all times during the tournament except while in the act of eating or drinking.

Team Formation
A team formation and free agent sign-up sheet can be found here. This tournament will have a hard field cap of 12 teams.

Staffing
Staffers will be paid $40 and receive lunch for their services. Individuals who are interested in staffing this tournament should email hartam AT gmail DOT com.

Side Events
As part of the open weekend, we are hosting an open mirror of NASAT on Saturday August 20th. CO Trash will be followed by a mirror of MUSES III as a side event.

Minor Chaperone Policy
Beginning in Fall of 2020, the University of Minnesota is requiring that all minors be accompanied by a chaperone to all on-campus events. As a result, each minor attending this tournament is required to have a chaperone of some capacity at this tournament. Players who are both under 18 years of age and do not have an adult chaperone with them will not be allowed to play this tournament.

Code of Conduct
All players, staffers, and spectators attending the CO Trash mirror or any other event part of the open weekend will be required to abide by the UMN Quizbowl code of conduct. Participants who feel that a fellow competitor, staffer, or spectator is not following the code of conduct should fill out the UMN Quizbowl misconduct reporting form.

Feel free to contact suacb AT umn DOT edu for any concerns that you may have. We hope to see you on August 21st!

Unless two more teams register quickly, we'll likely cap the field at 4 teams and do a triple/quadruple round robin, I think. (But with such a simple schedule, we can also canvass teams on Saturday and see if we can get a 6-team field.) I'm going to email the existing free agents and see if they're ok playing together as the fourth team.

Team "even more quickly awful mayhem" (Brian Weikle, Evan Brown, Foster Hughes, Lalit Maharjan) gritted, scrapped, and hustled their way through a tough but small field to win this tournament. Full stats are here. Thanks to everyone, especially not Cory Haala, for showing up!
