I hope you don't really mean that. As a science major who gets the 
vast majority of his points from literature and history questions, I 
would not at all be opposed to a non-science tournament, but I think 
that it's important to recognize that both science and the 
humanities have their place in quizbowl and that too many 
tournaments that exclude one or the other are not going to be good 
for the circuit in the long run.

Is this a typo, or do you really mean to have 10 question rounds? 
That sounds a little low to me, especially given that the packet 
distribution asks for 25/25.
