Purdue Quiz Bowl is happy to finally formally announce Musical-Visual Packet, a hybrid audiovisual media set with an emphasis on the musical aspects of the subjects. The set is written by Andy Schingel, Patrick Quion, Drew Benner, Pranav Veluri, John Petrovich, Lalit Maharjan, and Ben Dahl. Our target difficulty is the very nebulous "open," and generally plays harder than ACF Regionals. This Google doc contains some rejected questions you can view to gauge the difficulty.
MVP consists of 7 packets of 20 tossups, with subject breakdown as follows:
- 5/0 Opera
- 4/0 Film
- 2/0 TV
- 2/0 Musicals
- 2/0 Music Videos
- 1/0 Video Games
- 1/0 Ballet
- 3/0 Other
Because this tournament hits a niche area that not many quiz bowl players are proficient in (that being "audiovisual fine arts"), we'd like to pick a date that best accommodates as many players in that niche as possible. For that reason, we'd like you to respond to this poll.
