COTTAGE Bowl 3 - Global Announcement

Post by TheRhymeMinister »

I'M BACK, AND BETTER THAN EVER! Carleton’s Original Trash Tournament: Almost Good Enough 3: What Kind of Day Has It Been, better known as COTTAGE Bowl 3, is the third in the series of house written trash tournament coming out of Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The head editor for this tournament will be me, Nick Penner.

Distribution
There will be 12 rounds consisting of:
4/4 Sports (3/3 Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey; 1/1 Other)
4/4 Music
4/4 Movies
4/4 Television (includes content like Netflix and longform web video)
1/1 Video Games
3/3 Other (Includes things like trash lit, comics, tabletop games, memes, web short video, trash events, and much more)

This tournament will be similar to the two previous editions, but with such improvements as:
A wider variety of subjects in the "other" distribution
Less college sports
More mainstream movie answerlines
Questions on video games from the past 5 years that *aren't* horror games
Exactly 0 questions asking you to name TV epsiode titles
An enhanced writing/editing process
And much more!

Carleton will be hosting our edition of the tournament on February 5, 2017; that announcement can be seen here. Playtesting of this set will occur over the weekend of the January 21/22, let me know if you'd like to be involved with that process.

Mirrors
We are eager to discuss mirrors with all who are potentially interested in hosting this set on or after February 5th. If interested, please email CUQTAPresident[at]gmail[dot]com


Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this tournament, which I will answer to the best of my abilities.

Kudos to the Aaron Sorkin fan on the writing staff. You might have me beat on absurdly long packet titles and subtitles.

I'd love to play a mirror of this.

The set will be based on un-powermarked 5-line-capped tossups. Sorry!
