ACRONYM 16 Online: April 16 and June 3

Post by InvadErGII »

Play Quiz Bowl will be running two online mirrors of ACRONYM 16, which are scheduled for on Sunday, April 16, and Saturday, June 3. Games will be played on Zoom.

Registration for both events is $100 per team. In both cases, games will begin around 9am central time, with ~5 prelim rounds in the morning and some sort of playoff for all teams in the afternoon. When registering, please make sure you're in the spreadsheet for the correct date.

You can register for the April 16 tournament here, and for the June 3 tournament here. In both cases, there are also spots for free agents and staff.

Teams of 5 are fine.

A team dropped out earlier this week, so there is currently one open spot available for Sunday - if you'd like to take it, I recommend signing up ASAP.

We could also use either an additional moderator or a dedicated stats person. If you're interested in either of those, hit me up.

since we are about a month out from the June 3rd mirror, what would be the best way to pay? which method and would you like one payment for the team or could players pay individually? thanks

Good question - I'll cap this at 24 (so if you haven't signed up, please do so ASAP!)

Generally ACRONYM questions are not made available until a year or so after the first mirror, when the next iteration is posted. So the earliest they'll be posted is next February, probably a bit later than that based on previous years.
