trivia update (jan. 2010)
Hi there --
This is a calendar update, to outline the Trivia Club's plans for the coming months.
"Practices," a.k.a. "club meetings," a.k.a. "couch time" will happen at 4pm on Mondays and at 5:30pm on Wednesdays all through the winter semester.
On January 15, Waterloo hosts THUNDER. This tournament has a tradition of using hard questions (check out last year's questions), but if you can get through that part, there's a seven-round side-tournament on Harry Potter questions. U of Ottawa is sending at least one team out to play in this one.
The next Saturday, January 22, U of T is running Terrapin Invitational. The club isn't organizing a trip to this one, but if a bunch of you are interested, we could probably send a team.
On February 5, U of Ottawa is hosting SCT -- this is, a qualifier tournament where most of the Canadian schools visit us and play for their shot at U.S. Nationals. A bunch of us have been laying the groundwork to host this event, and with up to 20 teams visiting, we will need plenty of moderators and scorekeepers. We might get a house team to play, but we'll need to make sure we've got enough volunteers first -- consider this an "all hands" event.
Some of the Ottawa high schools are running a hybrid tournament (mixed academic and pop culture) called BLASTOISE on March 19. That is not for a while, but our teams will each need to write packets well in advance. If you submit your packet before January 28, your team will get a pretty big discount on entry fees.
I hope to see a whole bunch of you at practice and tournaments in the coming months.
Thanks,
-Brendan
