Penn-ance at Alabama (10/20)
Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 1:41 pm
Greetings, I am pleased to announce that Alabama Academic Quizbowl Team will be hosting The Archdemon Does Not Forgive You , a mirror of Penn-ance, on 10/20.
At the moment, field cap will be 10 + 2n teams, where n = number of rooms that can be staffed by volunteer help from other schools. I will expand this if and when I feel more comfortable with the staffing situation.
This from the original Penn-ance announcement:
All questions will be power marked and no question will go past the 8th line (including bolding for power). The target difficulty is equivalent to MAGNI, the tournament that held this spot in the schedule last year.
The distribution we are using is as follows:
4/4 Literature (1/1 World and Other)
4/4 History
4/4 Science (1/1 Math and Other)
3/3 Arts
3/3 RMP
1/1 SS
1/1 Geography, CE, Trash, and Other
Each packet will also have a tiebreaker tossup and an extra bonus, each from literature, history, or science.
Eligibility:
Teams must be current students at the university or high school level. There will be no open teams.
Fees:
Fee Structure:
Fee will be $80 per team, if for some reason you cannot meet this criterion, talk to me beforehand. This is $30 off the original price. Please bring your buzzers and readers if you have any. We have 3 buzzer sets but will need more.
Registration:
Please contact me at husbandofsamus at gmail dot com to register. You may express interest here but please send me an email as well.
Location:
This tournament will take place at Bidgood Hall (where most of our tournaments usually take place).
