Right now I have one and a half, and I have the answer lines for 3 rounds. I can expand this, however.

Whatever you'd like; I was just curious. Is this tossups only or tossup/bonus?

Re: Byzantine history side tournament at CO

See my original CO post - stating that: The only thing side events I'm currently giving official sanction to are the history doubles and Will Nediger's literature event, which will have dibs on the two premier Sunday spots (history before literature).

Obviously, I have no power or wont to stop people from coalescing and playing some event as they will, but refer to the second post in the CO Thread for the "official schedule"
