There's a 10-question round of purely lightning questions at the beginning, followed by the other questions. 48 teams are expected, no idea on current numbers though.DumbJaques wrote:Sounds great. I especially like the random placement of ten lightning buzzes, because hey, you can never prime the buzzer too much.

WJ attendence
WJ will be coming with 3 teams.
According to our coach, this is the first C team we have ever brought to a tournament. This may not seem like alot or important to many of you, but "don't rain on my parade."

Re: WJ attendence
Wow. Three teams. I wish we had a C team. For that matter I wish we had a complete B team. Well, I guess we'll see you there (though I don't know if ER B is coming).bigtrain wrote:WJ will be coming with 3 teams.
