I'll echo this. Myself and a few other retired quizbowlers are thinking about playing this but think it would be rather uncouth if we were the only non high-schoolers in the field (assuming this is in fact Open).Sit Room Guy wrote:Can we get a field update on this?msacks wrote:Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Flossmoor, IL will be mirroring the Ohio Trash 2017 questions on Saturday, January 6th.

At the very least I've signed up, although my teammates, while college-aged, have five games of quiz bowl played between the three of them.

Re: Homewood-Flossmoor Pop Culture Tourney (mirror of OH Tra
Does "teams a maximum of five players" mean it's 5v5? Or 4v4?
