We are aiming for 2.5 dots on Ophir’s difficulty scale, comparable to last year’s IKEA. We have begun work on the set, and around 10% of it is already written.
We plan to have a total of 14 packets of 20/20, plus tiebreakers. Tossups will be capped at 7 lines pre-powermarking, and bonuses will be capped at 8 lines.
Our distribution is as follows:
4/4 Literature (with slightly more long fiction and slightly less drama in comparison to 1/1 for each)
- 1/1 American
- 1/1 European
- 1/1 British
- 1/1 World/Other
- 1/1 American
- 1/1 European
- 1/1 World
- 1/1 Ancient/Other
- 1/1 Biology
- 1/1 Chemistry
- 1/1 Physics
- 1/1 Other
- 1/1 Visual

- 1/1 Other (Audiovisual/Applied)
1.5/1.5 Social Science
1/1 Philosophy
1/1 Other Academic / Geography / Current Events (roughly evenly split)
