This is the announcement for Oxford Open 2019, the annual tournament written and hosted by OUQS, which will be taking place on the 16th of February, 2019!

2/2 Chemistry and Other Science (slanted towards 'other')
1/1 British Literature
1/1 Anglophone Literature

1/1 History up to 1000 CE
1/1 History 1000-1500 CE
1/1 History 1500-1900 CE
1/1 History 1900-Present
[History will have a temporal distribution as its emphasis, but will also have an even spread British/European/World/Misc]
1/1 Visual Fine Arts
1/1 Auditory Fine Arts
1/1 Other Fine Arts
3/3 Thought, including Religion, Philosophy, and Social Science (e.g. Law, Politics, Economics, Linguistics, etc.), but NOT Myth.
1/1 Geography
1/1 Miscellaneous

The difficulty of the tournament will be roughly the same as previous editions of OOT.

To register for this tournament, please email [email protected] with your name and your team's name. I will only accept email entries from 19:00 BST on Wednesday 26th September; any emails before then will not result in your team's registration.

As in previous years, the field will likely be capped at 24 teams, and a waiting list will be kept in case of teams dropping out. This year we are also provisionally reserving 6/24 spaces for student teams.

The base entry fee will be £60 per team, with a £5 discount for bringing a buzzer set and a £20 discount if multiple members of your team have to travel by aeroplane to get to the tournament.

There may be side tournaments held the day after OOT; look out for details of those.

If you have any queries about the tournament, please email [email protected]
