The Trans-Canada Championship Match is desperately looking for a
backup moderator to run a game over the telephone to Vancouver and
Toronto. The moderator can be located ANYWHERE in Canada or the United
States.
If you've ever dreamed of being a celebrity in Canada, or if you are
curious about how quiz bowl works over the telephone, then this is
your chance! As far as I know, no other quiz bowl tournament has a
game between teams in different cities, even though we're using only
19th-century technology.
Gabe Desjardins has written a packet for this game. He's not
completely sure he'll be available to read it, so he asked me to look
for a backup moderator. All you need is a regular telephone and the
question packet e-mailed to you by Gabe. You'll need to make a 3-way
call, which any regular phone can do, and we'll pay you back for the
3-way call fee (if applicable) and the long-distance charges to
Vancouver and Toronto.
The game will be on Saturday, July 17, during the hour of:
5 - 6 p.m. PDT
6 - 7 p.m. MDT
7 - 8 p.m. CDT
8 - 9 p.m. EDT
If you can do it, contact Peter at pmcc_at_... (pmcc at
alumni.sfu.ca).
