SNEWT VII-Reminder

Although most of the website still needs updating, we've at least been 
able to get the SNEWT info up, at http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/org/
collegebowl/snewt7.html

So far, we have the following teams committed:

University of Maryland- 2 Teams
University of Delaware- 2 Teams
Bryn Mawr College- 2 Teams

So there's still plenty of room.


The Swarthmore College Bowl Team is glad to formally announce our 
annual fall junior bird tournament, SNEWT VII, which will be held on 
Saturday, November 16th, 2002 at Swarthmore College (Kohlberg Hall) in 
Swarthmore, PA. The format will be mod. ACF; packet submission; each 
team is required to submit a packet except in special cases approved by 
the tournament director. Email Chris White at cwhite2_at_... to 
register.

All freshmen and sophomore undergraduates are eligible to compete in 
SNEWT.

The base fee for a school's first team is $85; this includes breakfast 
and pizza for lunch. Extra teams are $60, and the mimimum fee for any 
team is $40.

Discounts/penalties are as follows:

- $10 for an experienced moderator 
- $10 for a working buzzer 
- $10 for each 300 miles (rounded down) 
+ $10 for an extra pizza (remember, each team already gets one) 
+ $35 for no-shows (except in case of emergencies) 

Packet deadlines are as follows:

 - $20 if submitted by noon, Monday September 30 2002

+ $10 if submitted by noon, Wednesday November 6 2002 
+ $20 if submitted by noon, Wednesday November 13 2002 
+ $30 for anything submitted later; or no packet at all. 

Packet distribution should be approximately as follows; the amount of 
tossups and boni in specific areas should be equal.  The questions 
should be ACF-style, but less difficult, as this is a junior bird.
