Hey guys, I'm excited to announce the KFC (Kumar-Fein-Figueroa Charity) Competition! This will be a mostly history and geography based competition where teams can compete to give money to charity of their choice. Here are the logistics; We are planning to hold the competition over discord on Sunday, April 4th, 2021. The registration fee is 35$ per team, with up to four players on a team. The members of the team do NOT have to attend the same school. The winning team of the competition can decide what charity we send all of the fee money too, so this should be a fun way to compete and help those in need. Cameras will also be required for all competitors.
Here are the specifics for the tournament:
Each round consists of two halves, will ten tossups per half. Each tossup is superpower marked, with early buzzes getting 30 points, buzzes in the middle of the question earning 20, and buzzes at the end getting 10. Each tossup also has an associated bonus question related to the content of the tossup, where teams can discuss the answer. These bonuses are worth 10 points, and bounce backs are available. At the half, teams will play a lighting round. There are two lighting round categories, consisting of 10 questions each, and the team that is trailing gets to decide which category they play. In the lightning round, each question is worth 10 points, and bounce backs are available. Should a team answer all ten correctly, they get a 30 point bonus.
