The Carton Gehring Memorial Tournament

Post by Cheynem »

This is an announcement for The Carton Gehring Memorial Tournament, a tournament in the same vein as the wildly successful MCMBR but tailored around the interests of recently retired quizbowler Carsten Gehring. He has asked me to develop a distribution for a 20 tossup packet, so here we go. Send the packets to me and I'll read them when I get a critical mass.

Please powermark your questions. Questions should not be fact-checked. They should be written to incite rage.

1 tossup on an "independent" film
1 tossup on a "foreign" film
1 tossup on "horror" movies
1 tossup related to the actor Mads Mikkelsen
1 tossup related to the actor John Hawkes
1 tossup related to Disney Channel Original Movies (or Boy Meets World)
1 tossup related to the Minnesota Timberwolves
1 tossup related to the NBA in general
1 tossup on soccer
1 tossup related to the publishing business
1 tossup related to a "comedy program that has aired on the FX Network"
1 tossup related to whatever the hell Childrens Hospital is
1 tossup on any history topic
1 tossup on American history that is very, very hard
1 tossup related to Saturday Night Live
1 tossup related to the show Parenthood
1 tossup related to either the novel Babbitt or the novel Erewhon
1 tossup related to some 20th century piece of literature
1 tossup on some musical shit that you would expect Carsten to like
1 tossup about a television episode that does not have as its answerline the episode title because those are impossible

It should be noted that there are as now as many packets as this as there were packets of DEES written by Charlie Dees.
