Penn-ance Mirror October 27, 2012 at WUSTL
Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 5:05 pm
Thank you all for your patience in us figuring out how to do this since WUSTL had two of the worst possible weekends for this in the schedule, but thanks to Richard Yu pulling out a rabbit (mad props), we will be mirroring this after all.
This tournament will be written entirely by a team of James Lasker, Patrick Liao, Saajid Moyen, Eric Mukherjee, Sam Passaglia, Dallas Simons, David Xu, and Korey Gall. Eric Mukherjee will be head-editing, with assistance from Jerry Vinokurov.
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.
No open teams (Sorry Charlie). Teams must be current students at the university or high school level.
We will use the following fee structure:
Base fee: $120 per team
Working buzzer discount: $10 each
Laptop discount (IF NEEDED; We will only honor this discount on a first come, first needed served basis): $10
Approved moderator discount: $15 each
Travel discount: $15 (more than 200 miles one way according to Google maps)
If you have any questions, please contact the tournament director Sean Phillips at seanqb1982@gmail.com
The tournament will be in Eads Hall, Building number 33 in the following map http://www.wustl.edu/community/visitors ... rthmap.pdf . Registration will be in Eads 102 starting at 8:30 am and rounds will begin at 9 am. I hope to see you all there!
