If I am back up in NE Alabama and I find the time, I might have a team at this composed of some Mannor brothers and/or my usual crew members.

Re: TrashMasters at UTC 12/8/2012: Question change & field updat
IMPORTANT for those attending TrashMasters this coming Saturday: We have had an unexpected change in source material. The original editor has resigned, so we are switching to Plan B and mirroring the Bayou-a-Drank set. We apologize for any conflicts this might cause.
Also, John Kilby has generously agreed to handle K-Tel Hell again this year.
Here are the 7 to 9 teams we expect at this point:
Grote/Wells/Sekarik/Menke
Dion/Washick/Russell/Russell/Russell
Helton/Jackson/Riddle/Taylor
Franklin/Johnson/Kilby/Staley
Eric Douglass et al.
Louisville (1-2 teams)
Seth Kendall et al.
Delano Barnes et al.
UTC house team (space & schedule permitting)
Please contact me at [email protected] and copy [email protected] with any additions, corrections, or other questions.

Re: TrashMasters at UTC 12/8/2012: Question change & field updat
This really, really sucks. I played in Bayou-a-Drank at the University of Maryland this past summer. AND I have already paid for a hotel for Friday night in Chattanooga. Is this the only contingency available?Your Genial Quizmaster wrote:IMPORTANT for those attending TrashMasters this coming Saturday: We have had an unexpected change in source material.

Yes. And I'm not sure how many Bayou packets are left. I played the first 6 rounds at Maryland. If more have been written since, could we possibly combine the new Bayou packets with whatever Greg has written?Susan wrote:How much of the original set has been written?

For anyone I didn't reach by e-mail, the tournament has been moved to the EMCS building, on Palmetto between East 5th and Vine. UTC had three bomb threats this past week, so some finals had to be moved to today.
