Question submission for AMT2 is now over; please don't send me any more questions. If you still want to play but didn't send me questions, just let me know, then show up with $5 (taking a page from UGA) and we'll assign you to 2 of our questions. Since people asked what the format is, I've attached an explanation. I've also updated the field (of 20) and assigned people (tentatively) to rooms, see below. Ray. *** 2nd annual All Movies Tournament (AMT2). *** "Everything you always wanted to know about the movies, but were afraid to ask, answered in tossup format." May 22nd, after "I Know Kung-Fu," at UC Berkeley, probably late afternon. TDed by Ray and Eok. *** Field. *** UCI: Thomas, Willie. UCLA: Matthew, Steve, Charles. Cal: Juliana, David, Miguel, Seth, Matt, Brendan, Martha, Nick, Lev, Yi, Salpi. Chicago: Andrew. Caltech: Jordan, Jim. Stanford: Pratik. Others expressing interest: Jerry, Andy, Xiao from Caltech, and Jen from Michigan. *** Format. *** We played 4 seeding rounds of 40 questions each, with rounds 1 and 4 containing 30 questions by Ray and 10 questions by Eok each, and rounds 2 and 3 containing 20 questions by the players and 10 questions by Eok and 10 questions by Ray each. The 20 question final was written by Ray. We had two rooms, an upper level room 1 and a lower level room 2. We distributed the players to have a roughly equal number of strong players in each room before round 1. A player is ranked when she get to 60 points, at which point she must refrain from buzzing in further. Tie scores at the end of the round are broken by who got to that score first. After round 1, the upper half of scorers in each room move on to room 1 while the lower half of scorers in each room move on to room 2. After round 2, the 3 lowest scorers from room 1 move on to room 2, while the 3 highest scorers from room 2 move on to room 1. After round 3, the lowest scorer from room 1 move on to room 2, while the highest scorer from room 2 move on to room 1. The highest 2 scorers in room 1 in round 4 move on to the final. Ties in the final are broken by overtime questions. Initial assignment (tentative): Thomas, Matthew, Charles, Nick, David, Brendan, Martha, Salpi, Andrew, Jim in room 1; Willie, Steve, Miguel, Seth, Matt, Juliana, Lev, Yi, Jordan, Pratik in room 2. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
